Consent is making sure that the other person or parent or whatever the case is , is ok with something happening whether that be intercourse, drinking etc.

I think its 50/50 because I think it all depends on the type of person you get involved with. You could get involved with someone who isn't really interested in a girl for their body but how their energy is and how they carry themselves but that's rare now. Or get involved with the guys who don't care about consent or anything like that and just want a girl for their body and don't actually want a real relationship.

Consent is something another person lets you do. Whether it be with relationships or simply doing a job, you would need someones consent before you can do anything to them. Consent looks like both individuals agreeing to doing something, and making sure that they both are comfortable.

Consent is when you are given permission to do something. It is important because if you are doing something without the consent of somebody, when it requires the consent of somebody, you can get in trouble. Consent could look like a piece of paper that says you are given permission to do a certain thing and it sounds like when someone tells you you can do that certain thing.

# data[].attributes.body
Consent is gaining permission or an approval before doing anything. This would necessarily look like people agreeing with and being okay with that is happening.

Consent is basically asking permission for something or a agreement.  Consent looks like and sounds like a person asking politely, "Do I have your consent to do this?". Consent applies to anything, drinking, marriage, smoking, in any relationships and especially intercourse, etc.

# data[].attributes.body
Consent means to ask for someone's permission to do something. It can be about engaging in intercourse or about anything else as well. Consent allows the other person to know whether their partner wants to engage in any activity with them or not. It gives both people a clear understanding of what they want or don't want.

Consent is when someone gives you permission to do something. Giving consent Is like saying yes when someone asks to take a picture of you.

# data[].attributes.body
Consent is something people ask their partner before anything they decide to do whether they are ok with the decision or no. Its important because if people decide to do something such as intercourse or any other thing they should always make sure their partner is comfortable with the idea and then they can engage. Consent is probably like someone giving their word or any kind of contract or asking if whether they are comfortable with their decision.

# data[].attributes.body
It depends on the type of person that certain individual is, or how well they know the other person. If they are extremely comfortable with the other person, and if both individuals have consent, then teens might be very confident and comfortable with sexting or engaging in sexual activity.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like some teens feels comfortable for asking for consent to engage in sexual activity or sexting while some are not. Some teens might be confident and brave enough to ask, while some teens might not be brave and confident enough to ask.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel as if some teens do feel confident while others rather not fight the pressure and do what they think "they should be doing."

Consent is agreement of a person older than 18(age of consent)Its important because some consent situations are serious and could be illegal if this is bypassed,Its like a yes or no

# data[].attributes.body
Teens don't feel comfortable in giving or asking for consent. They are still maturing, they haven't matured completely yet so they don't have that understanding. Especially when they haven't heard or learnt about it growing up. Most teens don't engage in any sort of sexual activity because they don't feel comfortable with it.

# data[].attributes.body
Consent is giving someone permission to do something and for example when getting into a sexual relationship and wanting to take things further down the road you would need your partners consent to do anything.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that some teens feel comfortable and confident asking for and giving consent to engage in sexual activity id they are comfortable with that person. However sexting can be different because if somehow your pictures get posted on the internet its never going to off of the internet.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think most teenagers are comfortable and confident asking for or giving consent to engage in sexual activity and/or sexting. Some teenagers might be, but most teenagers feel awkward or think it is weird. Something like this requires for them to have commitment and requires them to think about the consequences, outcome, etc. and that is why they just leave it all together. Consent is not as "hard" or "complicated" as it seems.

# data[].attributes.body
I think deep down people feel uncomfortable with consent.For example sometimes people say yes for the benefit of the other person etc.

# data[].attributes.body
I think some teens might feel comfortable, but it depends on who the person is to them. For example, they'd feel most comfortable with their s/o.

# data[].attributes.body
I think teenagers feels comfortable with people they know and if they know that their partner is with them not to take advantage of them. But actually being with them because of who they are as a person.

The TED talk shaped my understanding on what consent is by showing me that sexting is not  bad as long as you have consent. This video taught me that, the laws are corrupt that if you even sent a sent a picture of yourself, it would count as child. Yes, not all teens participate in sexting but even if they do, they are shamed and called names. Sexting creates a bigger picture. There needs to be consent in everything, and no one should be shamed or humiliated because they asked for consent or they did something that they enjoyed (willingly). Teens are shamed or anything consent for anything, that is why they are scared to ask anyone on what to do things rightly and they feel insecure or embarrased.

# data[].attributes.body
TED talk shaped my understanding of what consent is by I learned that it is ok to engage in sexting as long as you have consent from the parents and the other person. It is also ok to send out private information as long as you share it with a person that is ery trustable and when you have the consent to do it. I think this can say that most teens aren't ready to engage in sexual activity safely and responsibly because I think most teens are not to be trusted with your private information since they can send it out to everybody even without your consent. As said in the video, Jennifer shared something private with her boyfriend who she thought she could trust, he ended up sending that private thing to everybody without getting her consent.

# data[].attributes.body
The TED talk helped me understand how important consent is. Nothing should be done with the other person unless he/she gave their consent. Teens have to understand properly what consent means before that engage in any sexual activity. Like the woman in the video had said, Jennifer ended her life just because she trusted the wrong person with her pictures. This shows that teens have no understanding of consent or any respect towards the other person. They aren't mature for this. They need to be taught about consent before they are ready to engage in any activity with their partner so that they can be held responsible for their actions.

# data[].attributes.body
The TED talk shaped my understanding of what consent is by saying how you need to ask someone else for permission to post something that is there. For example the woman says that you should ask for permission even if it comes to you forwarding a email thread. This says that teens are somewhat ready to engage in sexual activity and responsibility since it all depends whether their partner would violate their privacy or not.

# data[].attributes.body
Based on what I heard in the TED talk, I think that teens should approach their attitudes and behaviors in a cautious way, living in current times where there is increased use of and reliance on technology and social media. Like the speaker said, sexting isn't an illegal or bad thing to do. Its the fact that your privacy might be violated and in order to protect that, digital companies need to enhance on privacy violation.

# data[].attributes.body
The TED talk shaped my understanding about consent by showing me that it means asking for permission before engaging to an idea about doing something. It always don't have to be sexual but it also can be about other things. But the important part is no matter what before deciding to do something people should always ask their partners for consent whether they are comfortable with the idea or not. Also sexting is not a bad thing if whoever is involved in it have their consent. Also, in the video she mentioned that the laws about counting a nude photo which can be used against teens as child that can ruin their lives in my opinion I think this Law should change unless the nude is being sent out to people without that person's consent or if people are taking someone's picture and uploading in a inapropriate place. But if two teens are trusting each other and sending nudes with each other's consent law should not be used against them. This could say about teens being "ready" by showing they should always think about and decide and make sure both of them have each other's consent.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that consent was mostly towards pictures and sending things in this video.In the video it said to ask people consent to send things to other people to better yourself and the other person.I think teens are really mature enough and even some adults.Some people share images knowing its child 🤬 (under 18)and still do it.So I don't think teens are ready to engage in sexual activity online per say.

# data[].attributes.body
Well I think know that teens are using social media and technology more then every I think they should be more careful of what they put on the internet.Some things spread really fast and thats not something that you should take part in.I think companies need to step up privacy levels.

# data[].attributes.body
This TED talk shaped my understanding about what consent is, my showing me that it is extremely important to do it with someone that you really trust. With people, there can always be mean individuals who send your private information to others, so I believe if you were to engage in sexual activity with another individual, it has to be someone you have known for a long time and that you trust immensly. This can say that some teens are ready and some are not, this is because some teens can trust someone so much, but they would just turn their backs on them.

# data[].attributes.body
TED talk shaped my understanding by showing that it's really important that the person you consented to is someone you trust. This says that some teens aren't as ready because the person they consented to could be someone with ulterior motives and they'd have no idea. For example, they could be sending nudes to someone who plans on showing it to their friends and leaving them. This is illegal and it shows that you should be very careful when consenting to someone or something.

# data[].attributes.body
Consent is permission for someone to do something. It's significant because for instance, someone might want to share an inappropriate image of someone else. If that person didn't give consent, then he/she will feel insecure that their privacy is invaded.

# data[].attributes.body
This video taught me that we are so focused on our perception of "what is bad" that we forget that the main aspect relies in consent. This talk emphasized that if consent is there, and people are taking responsibility, people should be informed and not criminalized.

# data[].attributes.body
Based on the TED talk, I believe that teens should be very careful. In the TED talk, the speaker said that I girl ended her own life, because of how her boyfriend sent her photos out to others, and she got shamed for it. If you are not careful on the internet now, then even if you are innocent, it can have a drastic drawback towards yourself.

# data[].attributes.body
Teens should be more compassionate and understanding when they are communicating online. They should be aware that it isn't safe to share things online. They should ask for consent if they do want to share something involving their friend or partner so that they don't violate anyone's privacy. Everyone is using social media and everyone wants to have their own privacy. Everyone should be more careful sharing their information or pictures online. Companies should have strict laws regarding a person's privacy.

# data[].attributes.body
Based on this TED talk, I realized that teens should do what they are comfortable with. Consent is crucial which means that each teen should communicate and keeping reality in check, teens should have the ability to make smart decisions.

# data[].attributes.body
It depends on who the person is. Most teens though, they prefer to keep things in secret and not ask anyone to do things.

# data[].attributes.body
I think teens should never ever share private things with others even though they think they can be trusted. Another option can be companies making it so that you can't share private things with others unless you have the finger print of somebody else to show consent.

# data[].attributes.body
Based on what I heard in the TED talk, people's privacy is very important and we should all do our part protect it, if we can. Like the talk said, any laws that are their to protect online privacy only come in after something has happened so, we need to protect each others privacy by consent. I think teenagers should think about if they are sure they want to portray those behaviors on social media or not since social media is forever. Social media companies should update their privacy policies often so it is safer online. They should also make new features on privacy so it is a better and safer environment.

# data[].attributes.body
I think first if they want to share anything first they should make sure they are trusting the other person and then sending something. They should approach with positivity instead go negativity about sharing a private picture that was only sent for them to other people.

# data[].attributes.body
The TED Talk stated that consent is very important because it can ruin someone's life. In particular, one shouldn't send their private things to someone if they are underage because it will be counted as child 🤬 and once you send them the picture, you will have no control over it and they can post it anywhere without your consent.

# data[].attributes.body
After watching the TED Talk, I've realized that teens shouldn't be so open about themselves. Even though it's a SOCIAL media, they should keep private things private.

These reliable sources define consent by showing you what consent is and what sexual violence or sexual abuse is. It separates it for you so you know better. It shows you the legal age before have intercourse. Basically, it has many reliable resources for you and help you understand. If you have experienced domestic violence, the websites are you to get help and talk to someone about it. It is designed for you to get help for many things and be aware of everything around you.

# data[].attributes.body
Reliable sources such as loveisrespect.org state, "Consent is an ongoing mutual agreement between partners about what they want to experience.'' Both partners should set boundaries and should feel comfortable following those boundaries.  I agree with this statement because healthy relationships require respect, trust and understanding. Both partners should have that between them, if they don't then it is not considered to be a healthy relationship.

# data[].attributes.body
The reliable resources define consent as, you must reach a certain age before having sexual activity and that consent is a mutual agreement between partners on what they want to experience. I would say that this kind of match our description of consent because, we had said consent was getting permission to do something and one of the reliable sources also said that consent was a mutual agreement which means permission or approval.

# data[].attributes.body
Reliable sources define consent by stating that you must reach a certain age to give consent into sexual activity. This matches with how me and my classmates describe consent because we all know we need to wait a while to make sure we can legally consent to sexual activities.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that the reliable sources describe it as something that all depends on age. This does have little impact about what my classmates and I said, as we said that it had to do with how both persons feel, and if they are okay with it.

# data[].attributes.body
These sources define consent because they state the legal terms of consent and how you have to be 17+ to consent to sexual activity .Another website shows a domestic violence support phone number and chat.This allows people in relationships that are toxic and violence that would be the website for them.In my opinion I already said consent you have to be 17-18 plus so it does match up to mine

# data[].attributes.body
These reliable sources describe how relationship abuse works. For instance, one’s partner can be abusive if they forcefully involve them in s3xual acts or make them take alcohol without their consent.

# data[].attributes.body
once again it says it states people need to be the age of 17 to pass consent.It states people age of 16 and lower can't legally consent to sexual activity.And if this happens it can be considered as 🤬.

# data[].attributes.body
The NY laws regarding consent is that you have to 17 or older in order to engage in sexual activity and give consent. Anyone under the age of 17 that participates in sexual activity may result in a prosecution for statutory 🤬.

# data[].attributes.body
The NY laws states that you have to be 17 years and older in order to have consent for sexual activities. This shapes my behaviors and thoughts about teen having sexual activity or sexting by it taught me that you can only do it with another person that's 17 years and older unless you want to get arrested.

# data[].attributes.body
New York laws regarding consent are very strict. They tell you what age you cannot have intercourse and if you sexy before 18, you are committing a crime. Due to this, I thought sexting and others were absolutely wrong but now I know it is okay if both parties consent.

# data[].attributes.body
The laws that you have to be 18 or over to start doing acts that need consent. This still does not change my views because if one is careful and smart, then I believe they could do it.

# data[].attributes.body
The NYC Age of Consent is 17 years old. Before this age, anyone involved in sexual activity is considered a crime.

# data[].attributes.body
The New York age of consent is 17 years old. When a person is 17 or above, they are allowed to engage in sexual activities. If they are not then that person will face legal consequences such as prosecution or statutory 🤬. This tells me that teens aren't mature enough to engage in sexual activities. They might just cause harm to themselves. Their level of understanding hasn't fully developed so isn't safe for them to engage in sexual activities of sexting.

# data[].attributes.body
These reliable sources help identify what one can consider as "consent." It provides people with support (phone numbers) and statistics that inform the general public of what is right. This matches what my friends and I originally thought when it came to consent but it was interesting to know that there were more available resources.

# data[].attributes.body
According to NY laws, one must be 17 or older to give consent. However, if under the age of 18, engaging in sexual activity especially with someone older will be considered illegal. This shapes my thinking because it helps me realize that these laws were put in place to keep our youth safe so it is our responsibility to follow it reasonably.

# data[].attributes.body
These reliable sources is a way where people can understand the basic important things about consent. Like showing how important consent is and that people should always make sure they have their partner's consent before making any kind of decision. It always doesn't have to be sexual it also can be any kind policy or agreement where a single person agrees to whatever they are deciding to do. Also, it shows how and when to speak up if anyone is facing something wrong or harmful. This can match by showing the similarities of how we grow up learning about wrong and right and all the different kind of opportunities there are to speak up if anything wrong is going on in our lives.

# data[].attributes.body
In NY laws the legal and appropriate age to be involved in sexual intercourse/ activity is 17. Anyone under it being involved in these kind of activities will count as prosecution and the results can be worst.

consent is when you give someone permission to do something that involves you. its important because its not right for someone to do something against anyone else's will. Consent looks like when someone agrees that they are fine with the situation.
