*As I have grown older I have learned that the following is very important in any relationship with boyfriends, girlfriends, or friends.
The people you choose to associate yourself with in friendship and in dating should treat you with respect and like you are a special person deserving of being treated properly. You are not and will never be a doormat for someone to wipe their feet on. Stand tall and know that you are worthy of respect and love.

You deserve to be respected and to respect yourself. Don’t let others treat you poorly or make you feel like you aren’t worth anything, you are. Even if you can’t see it right now you are. You deserve more than someone saying hurtful things to you or treating you in a manner that is hurtful. Respecting yourself also has to come from within. Don’t look at yourself in a negative way or treat yourself negatively. It’s hard to see the forest through the trees sometimes, but I promise you are worthy and deserving of self respect and respect from others.
So thankful.

Do not ever forget the fact that you deserve to be shown respect. You are an amazing young woman and should be treated as such. Never, ever accept anything less.
