You are missing the point. By high school it’s too late.The sport is reflective of society as a whole.
Perhaps it would be better if this was a course that kids took as a requirement in High School.
These conversations need to start age appropriately in pre-school.
No grown up should ask you to keep a secret.
Body autonomy. Not forcing a kid to hug someone and build from there.
A boy (person) teasing you doesn’t mean they like you.
No means no. No matter who it is even Mommy or Daddy just tickling you.
Tell, Tell, Tell.
And there should be specific rules spelled out for parents and gymnasts from day one. I don’t care how talented you are or how much you pay. You behave badly, you are benched.
