Should young girls be taught refusal skills in health class?
Like how to say no, when to say no, that it is okay to say no and not to feel bad about saying no, etc etc?

Yes. So should boys. And both should also be taught that a refusal is a refusal and that no one is owed sexual favors because they were "nice". "Consent" has unfortunately been caricaturized as something as ridiculous as signing a form before having sex, but it's really about listening to and understanding your partner's feelings and desires. Both boys and girls could stand to learn how to communicate better.
