Between the Lines

1.Q: According to Richard’s mom, can you develop a set of instructions about how to stand up for yourself?
A: If I refer to what Richard’s mom says, I can develop a set of instructions about how to stand up for yourself. First, you find the person who is messing with you. Second, you address the problem that you have with that person. Third, you act like your about to walk away from them. Fourth, wait for them to say something rude to you. Fifth, after they say something turn around and ask them what they said. Finally, you start swinging. And if you can fight you will have the respect you want and the knowing of how to stand up for yourself.
