🛡️ Teen Boundaries, Consent, and the Law: What Teens Must Know About Sexual Misconduct *coming soon
Course overview
Lesson Overview

1.26 – Using Guilt, Gifts, or Flattery to Wear Someone Down: Using guilt, gifts, or flattery to wear someone down is not kindness—it’s manipulation dressed as affection. When someone constantly gives compliments or gifts and expects something in return, they are trying to trade generosity for control. Guilt works the same way when they make you feel bad for saying no. They might say things like “after all I’ve done for you” or “you’re hurting me by not doing this.” That is not your fault or your responsibility. Real care never demands repayment with your body or your choices. Flattery can sound nice but feels heavy when it’s used to push you toward something you don’t want. Gifts should come with joy, not pressure. When someone’s words make you second-guess your comfort, that’s a sign to pause and protect your boundaries. Respect means accepting “no” without making you feel guilty for it.
