DO NOT CROSS
 What is a Boundary?
• A boundary is an unwritten rule that protects your mind, body and soul.

• Personal boundaries are guidelines that you create to identify for yourself what is safe and

acceptable for how other people behave around you.

• Your boundaries are based on your culture, beliefs, opinions, attitudes, past experiences,

and social learning.

• Your boundaries can change overtime.

• Everyone has different boundaries even though you might have the same cultural

background and/or religious.  Overall, you need to do what is right for you.  

For example, if you don’t feel comfortable giving hugs to certain friends or classmates you
don’t know well, you don’t have to. That is a boundary you have set up for yourself.
What are Types of Boundaries?
Why do I need to set Boundaries?

• It’s empowering! It’s self-respect, self-care, and being authentic to yourself.

• You begin to trust yourself. As a result, you are decisive and show commitment to

healthy relationships.

• Lowers your stress. Focuses on your time, energy, self-esteem, and overall well-being;

you are putting you first!

• You feel respected and physically/ emotionally safe.

• Defines you as a strong person to others. People will be less likely to take advantage of

you.  

• Determine who you can trust and who respects you; what relationships are

healthy/unhealthy.

Consent means that every person gets to decide who is allowed to touch their body,
when they can touch it, and how they can touch it.

Before any sexy talk or sexy touching happens, consent must be received by all people
involved.

Consent must be active and continuous.

Consent is a voluntary agreement between two people before
participating in any physical contact or sexual activity.

Consent can be withdrawn at any time by any person.

Consent is NOT obtained when a person:

is forced or coerced
is threatened
