I know that it may be hard to stand up for yourself sometimes, especially if you aren't very confident, but it has to be done sometimes so here are some ways you can do that...

* Have confidence - you need to stop being so harsh on yourself and believe in yourself more. Confidence can change how you act.

* Act calm - speak calmly and explain yourself. Don't attack the person you're talking to and take the calm and rational approach.

* Practice - practice on someone or talk to yourself. In this way, you shouldn't get your words in a jumble and you'll know what to say.

* Don't give up - if you feel you're not ready to do it today, try again or maybe do it tomorrow.

However, this advice should not be taken for bullies. Bullying is much more serious and you need to tell someone you trust if you think you're being bullied.

But, I hope this helps you if you think that you let people walk all over you or control you.

See you next post :)
