Prompt- Write about the most important lesson or hardship that you have gone through. Try to think of something more than "don't lie", "don't cheat", or "don't steal". Take a few minutes to think about it, then start writing.
Recently I have learned a that you can't let people manipulate you; weather they are family or friends. Being manipulated is a form of abuse, its called verbal abuse. People try and make you feel badly about yourself and make you think that whatever is going on in their lives is your fault.
An important thing to know is that whatever it is that they are going through is not your fault at all. Sometimes people try to manipulate you to say "yes" or "no". My step mom has been e mailing me like crazy with websites that teach you how to say "no". At first I was annoyed because I thought that I did know how to say "no". Saying "no" and sticking with your answer are two different things entirely. I personally need to work on both aspects of this.
