Does a hickey mean a boy owns you?

Answer 1

Absolutely not! No one can own another person, nor do they have the right to try to dominate or control another person. If any boy ever tries to do so, even though he may claim to love you, that is not love - it is all about him trying to control you. Real love is letting the other person be who they are, and not trying to control them in any way, or trying to claim her as "his". Quite often, a boy will put a hickey on a girl as his way of 'branding' her as his, and letting others know to stay away from 'his girl'. Again, this is not love, it is about control and dominance. Do not let any boy try to control or dominate you. That is how many abusive relationships start, even though the boy may seem so nice and sweet at the time.

Answer 2

No, a hickey does not mean that a boy owns you. It is simply a mark left on the skin from kissing or sucking, and it does not indicate ownership or control in any way. It is important to remember that each person has autonomy over their own body and choices.
