E2 - Unit 1 - {CC1}

*Coercion is when someone tries to make another person do something they may not want to do by using force, threats, or other means to make them feel like they have no choice. It's like when someone tries to make you do something by scaring you or making you feel like you have to do it, even if you don't want to. Coercion is not a nice or fair way to get someone to do something, and it's important to stand up against it and talk to a trusted adult if it happens to you.

**Counteraction against coercive authority means standing up and taking actions to resist or oppose someone who is trying to force you or others to do something you don't want to do. It's like when you and your friends decide not to do something that a bossy classmate is trying to make you do because it's not fair or right. Counteraction can include speaking up, saying "no," or finding ways to protect your rights and choices. It's important to counteract coercive authority when it's not treating you or others fairly and respectfully.
