Resist Giving In

It's hard not to give in when someone's trying to persuade you to do something. Read on, to find out how to stand firm and NOT be persuaded!

Steps

 * 1)  Remind yourself what you're putting up a fight for - why are you doing it? Come up with as many reasons as possible and repeat them in your head over and over again.
 * 2)  Reassure yourself you're doing the right thing, as there will come a time in the argument when you feel the other person's right, and you really ought to give in. DON'T!
 * 3)  Be polite - you won't be listened to if you raise your voice, or are rude. Calmly explain why you feel you're right.

Tips

 * Try not to cry, but if you need to, go to somewhere private (e.g the bathroom) where you can cry with no-one seeing.
 * Sometimes, repeating the same thing over and over is rather theraputic and makes someone realise you mean what you say. E.G : "I don't want to talk about it any more, Harry." "I don't want to talk about it any more, Harry." "I don't want to talk about it any more, Harry."
 * DON'T EVER SMILE! The other person will think you're just kidding.

Warnings

 * Stop and think - are you REALLY right? If you are, stand firm. If not, simply do what you're told - grit your teeth and bear it.
 * Try not to make anyone mad - this COULD resullt in a break-up, or hurt feelings.
