Stand up for yourself. Nobody is going to do that for you. Friends will leave you after college and university studies. Your brothers, sisters will leave you once they get married. Parents will eventually die. You are left with the only person - You. Make sure to respect your own self. Don't let people take advantage of you and take you for granted. You matters. You don't need to be rich and resourceful to be respected. Walk away if you don't get respect. Stand up for yourself.
