Boundary Lessons



​A healthy relationship 
will never require you 
to sacrifice your friends,
your dreams, or your dignity. 


​- Mandy Hale

Big Questions ​

  1. How can we protect our boundaries?
  2. What are red flags for abusive relationships?
  3. What does a healthy relationship look like?​

Love Song Discussion
  • ​Are these love songs actually creepy? Do they show a respect for personal boundaries?
  • Can a song or person be romantic and creepy?
  • What might this say about the way love/romance is portrayed in movies and songs?
  • Is the possible creepiness a matter of perspective or based on objective words and behavior?
  • Do you know of any other serious ‘love’ songs that might describe questionable behavior?
