Standing up for principle–and standing up for yourself– is important, especially if you know you don’t deserve someone’s negative comments and/or behavior. All my life I’ve been about principle. All my life I’ve had difficulty in standing up for myself, mainly because I’m not witty enough to come up with a response, rebuttal–or what have you– on a dime. Ever get backed into a corner with people accusing you of things that just aren’t true? Constructive feedback is one thing, but false accusations are completely different….and needless to say, bad. Period. And in response to false accusations, you absolutely MUST be able to defend yourself. If you are ever judged or accused of anything wrongly–whatever circumstance this may be, whether it be by a family member, a friend, a fellow student, a teacher, a boss, a colleague, a doctor, someone on the Internet–you have a voice to express yourself (within reason, of course) either verbally and/or in writing. Use it! Don’t ever let anyone take that away from you #todayslesson 👍
