If It's Wrong Don't Do It

You know that feeling when you let someone talk you into something you know is
wrong, but you do it anyway? The next time you get that feeling, decide that you
won't let someone hurt you anymore by encouraging you to make a bad decision.
Don't ever believe you have to, or you should put up with a person who doesn't
respect you.

When someone is trying to talk you into something that is wrong and you do it any-
way, or you keep hanging around somebody who is bringing you down instead of
lifting you up, you're telling the other person that... "I will let you hurt me as
long as you want to." This type of person will continue to hurt you if you keep
associating with him/her.

There is no reason to put up with a person who doesn't respect you. Find a way
to stay away from someone like this. Find a positive person or even a group of
people to affiliate with. Don't ever feel like there isn't any hope. There is always
someone out there willing to help you, but you have to let someone know that you
need help.
