Do you speak up when you feel taken advantage of or abused?

Speaking up is something I do.It is about self defense and self respect.The party who does wrong has to be told that it is not okay,and that they need to think before acting,and to watch the things they say to others.In my early years,I was easy to pick on and push around,but as I got older I learned to defend myself at all costs.I had been in an abusive relationship,and I stood up to the person involved.I let them know that I was no one to be intimidated just for approval,and despite that,they still tried because they felt they had the right to have the upper hand.Getting law enforcement involved was what finally put an end to that.No one has the right to intimidate or abuse anyone,and also no one should ever be told not to defend themselves against those who don’t have your best interest at heart.
