Don´t you let anyone hold you to ransom. As a susceptible person, I can tell it´s not fun at all.  Being assertive can actually save your life, meanwhile, acting the other way around cannot. Apart from the fact that you need to get solace when are down,  there is a need not to let that state of emotions weaken you. Some take advantage of it to profit from your feelings. There´s little scope for improvement if you behave as I have so far. Just like you scope out a project before plunging into it, working on your self confidence is just as important. I´m not trying to impart anything to you. However, anything that helps broaden the mind may come in handy. Besides, I can quote you some instances when you need to be assertive: After you finish high school, when you´re gonna get any specific service, etc. Anyhow, after many contretemps with my folks, I haven´t solved anything. Mostly I have been mellowing out and oversleeping this weekend. I may not be persistent to a fault. Though I tried. Instead of falling foul of the law, I´ve let myself be controlled by my kin´s domineering manner. Mostly I´d only cared about looking dashing. That was my undoing. Little did I know that caring about your mental health is more important than everything else. Lastly, I´d suggest you always pay attention to the idiom ¨chickens come home to roost¨
