Say It!

SAY WHAT YOU FEEL
Think before you speak--that's always a good plan. Then, when you're more sure of how you feel, say it! You want people around you that accept you for who you truly are and the people around you can't know who you are unless you tell them/show them. If there are people around you who get angry with you for your feelings, then they aren't the right match for your life. Anyone who really loves you will want to hear your thoughts and will want to understand you (even when they feel differently than you do).

DON'T HOLD IT IN
If you fill a balloon up too much, it pops. You don't need to pop! There are people who want to hear/listen to you. Besides, you might think you're holding it in when something is bothering you, but those closest to you know when something is wrong. Give them the chance to be there for you. They can't help you if you don't give them the details!
