Consent and Boundaries in Everyday Life

Hey all!

I want to hear about ways in which you enact healthy boundary setting, and also concepts of consent, in your every day life!

Here at Scarleteen we talk a lot about how important it is to know your own boundaries and be able to enforce them, as well as participating in enthusiastic consent. A lot of the time, this is in regards to romantic or sexual relationships. But of course, these are not the only areas where those things are important!

It's hard to enact boundaries and respect other people's boundaries in a romantic/sexual relationship if we're not doing that everywhere else in our life. So, let's think of some examples in your day-to-day life and relationships where you take part in boundary setting, consent, and respecting other people's boundaries! It's in things as simple as "do you want another slice of pizza?" and accepting the other person's answer at face value.

Can you think of anything you've done today or recently that included boundaries and consent?
