Practical exercises to help teenagers explore their understanding of consent in daily life.
Talking about consent can feel overwhelming, especially for young people who may be navigating their own boundaries for the first time. In Say More, consent culture activist Kitty Stryker guides teenagers in exploring what consent means to them. This timely and practical workbook allows the reader to work at their own pace and in their own way, with concrete examples from Kitty’s own youth, prompts inspired by questions teens have asked her and comprehensive resources to encourage further exploration and introspection.
"An engaging, inclusive, and informative guide to this crucial topic. Stryker offers a conversational and informative teens’ guide to discussing issues of consent."—Kirkus Reviews
"Stryker goes beyond first-time and initial interactions, exploring such issues as 'What's the Best Way to Tell Someone You've Changed Your Mind?' and 'What Should I Do When I've Crossed Someone's Boundaries?' Features include a toolbox of strategies, checklists, consent tips, a bibliography, website guides, crisis resources, and a helpful glossary. This offers accessible and useful guidance for teens (and their parents), no matter how they identify."—Kathleen McBroom, Booklist
