I stood up for myself today at school for a situation that I've been in for a while now and has been making me ill. I was assertive, I feel empowered, I am proud of myself and can't believe how much better I feel tonight compared with last night.

I don't think I knew how close to the edge I was yesterday. And I now know I'll never let it get like that again as I'm going to use this to move on.

Haven't been on here much lately due to this!

That's great. I'm glad you managed to be assertive and didn'y let the situation continue to get you down.

Fantastic Loui. I've missed our chats about books and things! x

Yes, me too SH. I've missed a lot of things actually but didn't realise what a state I'd got to.

Well done Loui. Whoever you stood up to will now think twice before treating you badly again. Enjoy feeling proud of yourself!
