Red Means Stop

Whether it's behaving badly
Whether it's playing pranks
Whether it's being insensitive
Whether it's being a brat
Whether it's being racist
Whether it's being sexist
Whether it's being intrusive
Whether it's being a nuisance

Stop means STOP.
Tone matters.
Facial cues matter.
A grim face, fiery eyes
Scowling lips, gritting teeth
Pushing away, slapping

Stop simply means STOP.
Stop always means STOP.
It's a simple word
It's a clear red signal.
Stop means STOP.
