It means that you can defend your beliefs and take care of yourself. You have a right to stick up for your beliefs, feelings, thoughts and <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 32px;"> opinions. You need to develop skills in order to do this.

Decide what you want to change and believe in your rights. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 32px;"> (For example: A friend is always telling you what to do.)

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 32px;"> 2. Describe to the other person involved, the situation as you see it. Be specific. (“You’re always bossing me.”)

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 32px;"> 3. Describe why you feel as you do using an “I” statement. Be firm, strong, look at the person and be sure of yourself. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 32px;"> (“I feel irritated because I can take care of myself.”)

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 32px;"> 4. Describe changes you’d like made. Be specific about what actions should stop and what should start. Be reasonable and willing to make changes in return.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 32px;"> (“I want you to stop always telling me what to do, and instead, ask me what I’d like to do.”)

//<span style="color: #800080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 32px;"> Now, pick a situation that you want to change. It could be with a friend or with someone in your family. Maybe someone hurts your feelings when they tease you, or maybe someone is bullying you. Go through the four steps. You might want to practice with another person,your pet or a stuffed animal. //
