Panel 1

Feeling Uncomfortable

Something doesn’t feel right. Your feelings matter.

Panel 2

Saying No Kindly

No, thank you. Please ask first. Kind words can protect your space. Clear is kind.

Panel 3

Boundaries Protect Us

Boundaries are kind and healthy. Saying ‘no’ or ‘not right now’ protects your body, feelings, and space. Good friends respect boundaries. You can say no. Respect keeps everyone safer.

Respecting your own space helps others learn respect too.

Something to talk about

What clear, kind words can you use when you need space?
