When I was a junior in high school, one of the seniors who used to bully me was known for a phrase he used to like to throw around. I guess it made him feel important. After taking things that didn’t belong to him, he’d say, “Nice guys come second” and have this huge, icky smirk on his face. Whatever bro.
To be fair to him though, he may have been right. In life, it’s important to respect others and treat them with dignity. But it’s just as important to stand up for ourselves when the situation calls for it.
Our Lighter Side feature today is a hilarious example of just how necessary it is to cultivate the ability to stand up for ourselves from a very young age. If you want to be schooled on how not to have people walk all over you, this cute young thang has just what you need!
