It’s critical to recognize that messages, images, and conversations that boys see or join online can shape how they think about relationships, consent, and what it means to “be a man” (masculinity). Guidance for Parents on Encouraging Boys to Be Upstanders Against Harmful Behavior Social media feeds, group chats, and online gaming spaces can sometimes expose boys to unkind or harmful interactions. Over time, repeated exposure to—and social approval of—these behaviors can influence what boys perceive to be an acceptable way to treat others.

If youth cannot take the information you are providing and use it in their daily lives and in their community, then all of the education is for nothing. The evidence-based Love Notes Sexual Risk Avoidance Education(SRAE) curriculum is being used successfully in two SRAE programs that serve high-risk youth in very different communities – one in rural West Virginia and the other in New York City.
