Toxic People Around Us? | Healthy Boundaries | B1–B2 Teen English

When does a joke cross the line? Is disagreement always disrespect? And how can teenagers say “no” clearly?

This thought-provoking, 45-minute English lesson explores friendship, social pressure, privacy and healthy boundaries through realistic situations teenagers can recognise.

Students practise reading, vocabulary, speaking and writing while learning to describe harmful behaviour, recognise meaningful apologies and choose practical next steps.

Included:

• Five student pages with a fictional story and comprehension questions.

• Discussion cards about group chats, loyalty pressure and privacy.

• Useful language for setting boundaries, plus short role-plays.

• An advice-writing task and an apology activity.

• A separate two-page teacher guide with answers, model responses and differentiation suggestions.

Designed for B1–B2 teenagers, with brief Greek vocabulary support. Activities use fictional characters, so students can explore sensitive issues without sharing personal experiences.

A lesson about respect, responsibility and finding the words to stand up for yourself.
