To Text or Not to Text Quest

Protecting Others and Yourself: By choosing not to join in, you’re respecting the person being talked about and also protecting yourself from being part of something that could hurt someone. This shows empathy and self-respect.

Respecting Boundaries: When you left the chat, you set a personal boundary. Learning to step away from situations that don’t feel right is a key part of developing healthy relationships and respecting your own well-being.

Set a Positive Example: Saying, “I don’t think we should talk about them like this” can inspire others to reflect on their actions. Sometimes, one person choosing kindness can encourage others to do the same.

Respect is a key part of a healthy relationship.
