A consent speaker breaks down what consent actually means for high school students: mutually wanted, specific to each action, revocable anytime, and only valid between people with the legal and mental capacity to give it. A yes to one thing doesn't mean yes to anything else.
Mike, how do you actually define consent? Here we go, ready? It is mutually wanted. That means nobody talks anyone into anything. They want it to happen. It is specific. So if you say, can I kiss you? And they say yes, you don't get to roam into other things. They didn't agree to that. It's in the moment, which means the second that they say stop, you must stop. Stop. It doesn't mean it's ever going to happen again, but it is free to be removed. And between partners of sound mind and legal age, right? So that's what's really important about this. Put it all together, you also want it enthusiastically and freely given, you've got a really great example of consent, right? That's where we want to get to.
