Page 19 - What Is Respect_za sajt

I f that doesn’t work,

and the person does not stop hurting you,
you can yell real loud, NO!!!
Let’s practice that together right now.

Let’s all say NO!!! together, at the count of three.
Ready? One, two, three – NO!!!

You might even have to yell NO!!!
more than once, maybe two or three times
until that person really stops saying or doing
that thing that is hurting you
and not respecting you.

If that doesn’t work,
walk away from that person and tell an adult
like your Mom or Dad, or a teacher, or a counselor,
or another family member, or a neighbor,

or a friend, or a friend’s Mom or Dad,
or even a policewoman, or policeman.

And maybe because you answered
that person with respect, even strong respect,
maybe now they will learn to respect other people,
and maybe they’ll also learn to respect themselves.
