A PHOTO OR VIDEO
When you receive a text, you do not
know the context of what was going
on when that picture was taken:
-could the person have been
pressured or forced to send the pic?
-could the person have been
intoxicated when they took this
picture?
-could the person in the pic not
even have known that a photo was
being taken?

Stress your discomfort:
“I’m way too uncomfortable
doing that.”
Emphasize feelings: “If you
really cared for me, you
wouldn’t ask me to do that.”
Change the subject: “Um let’s
do something else, ok?”
Call them out: “Nope, not
gonna do anything illegal just
to excite you.”
