REMEMBER… RESPECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS WILL RESPECT YOU!
HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS RESPECT AND A healthy relationship requires trust and honesty— asking someone to send a naked or inappropriate photo as a sign of “trust” is not healthy!
AND DISRESPECT INAPPROPRIATE PHOTOS If a relationship ends, one person may spread the existing photos to other people to get back at the person who ended the relationship, or to blackmail the person who is trying to end the relationship. Someone may try to use cell phone contact to control the person they like and keep constant tabs on where they are, who they are with—this is not healthy or safe!
TEXTS OR REQUESTS FOR PHOTOS RESPONDING TO INAPPROPRIATE
TRY A SERIOUS RESPONSE Stress your discomfort: “I’m way too uncomfortable doing that.” Emphasize feelings: “If you really cared for me, you wouldn’t ask me to do that.” Change the subject: “Um let’s do something else, ok?” Call them out: “Nope, not gonna do anything illegal just to excite you.”
