The word "respect" may not have a conotation for safety, but in many ways it is. If you feel like another student, teacher, or any one else is touching you in a way that makes you feel uncomfortable, TELL AN ADULT IMMEDIATELY! This is a "bad touch". Bad touches are a big deal and if you feel like someone is touching you in a bad way don't be afraid to say something.
However, don't confuse "bad touches" with "good touches". Just because a teacher or other adult pats y ou on the back, gives you a hug, or touches your shoulder or arm in a friendly way doesn't mean it's a bad touch. If this kind of touch still makes you feel uncomfortable, make sure to let that person know. If it persists, notify a responisble adult. Don't be afraid to tell someone how you feel!
