Just say no

that's what we're taught from a young age

at first it's

someone offers you drugs

just say no

someone wants you to get in there van

no matter what they might say

just say no


then it's

someone wants to have sex

just say no

someone offers you a drink

just say no

even if it's someone you trust


what if you can't

they never talk about that

what if it's someone who you'd give everything to please

and they aren't asking for you to do drugs

or get in a van

have sex

or drink

it's none of those things


it starts as something small

they ask they're polite

like "Can I copy that"

you think what's the harm it doesn't hurt anyone

it's not drugs you're not going to get kidnapped it's not sex they don't want you to drink

so you just say yes


then it's bigger

it's still not any of the things you were taught to say no to

you just say yes

then they just expect it


you start to feel like you're nothing to them

you're just the reason that they pass

but you still say yes

you don't want to disappoint them

you don't want to risk them stop talking to you

even if that's the only reason they're talking to you

you still say yes


but no matter what you say

little by little

you start feeling like you mean less

that your just a means to an end

they didn't even do anything wrong

they didn't really pressure you

just say no

that's what they say

but it's not always that easy

so you just say yes
