Do Unto Others as They Would Do Unto You

Remember that phrase? I grew up with that constantly being repeated to me as a kid. My mom would say that in hopes that I would make a friend in school. She'd try to squash my fears of being picked on at school that day with this phrase and the "sticks and stones" one.

Both are lies.

No one knows how you want them to treat you until you tell them. You show people how to treat you by not speaking up. Speak up and let them know that how they are treating you isn't right. Whether it is a spouse, parent, friend, or what-have-you they don't have the right to treat you any differently than any other person in their lives. Demand respect.
