Learn to speak up for myself

Although it’s turned into sort of a brash and rude habit, at least I’m not keeping things that bother me to myself. I’m not gonna go around knocking heads just because I’m annoyed, mind you. But if something is seriously bothering me I’m going to have a word with you about it.

So, my nasty whore cousin who calls herself one of my best friends constantly rags on me for being a virgin. Especially in a room full of people. Yeah, if I call her a whore she’ll get upset (just because it’s true), but if she is trying to embarrass me in front of everyone we hang out with, she deserves it. I always sat there and took it because I know she’s pretty fucked up and I didn’t think she was doing it to hurt me, but when my friend noticed that she only rags on me, just me, all the time, I realized I can’t take it anymore. She does it because she can’t stand that I’m nothing like her, and she knows I’ll put up with it. Unfortunatley for her, if she does it one more time, I can think of about 50 things to say that would reduce her to tears in about 30 seconds. She’s only got the one thing on me, and I’m not upset by what she says. I’m upset by the fact that she tries to intentionally hurt me.
