How To Let Someone Know That They're Being A Jerk
Atlanta Black Star

We come across people in our lifetime that we wish we have never met, but we can't control the way life plays out. There will be people in our lives who WE THINK are nice but then later down the line they begin to show their true colors. Once they show their true colors we begin to think in our heads, "wow! I never knew this person had it in them to ever be like this!" The best thing to do is not stoop down to their level obviously but to let them know that the way they treat you is unacceptable, disgusting and absolutely unbearable. Obviously someone who is known to be a completely awful person to others are aware of their actions, they just choose not to come to terms with them for various amounts of reasons. The best ways you can tell someone that they're being an A-Hole are:

1) Stand your ground!

Don't let someone walk all over you or treat you with disrespect. Who do they think they are? God? Last time I checked, God doesn't treat his people with disrespect and indecency. If you can respect yourself and other people their should be no problem for other people to do the same for you. Showing respect for other people is not that much of a hard task. Stand your ground, stand up for yourself and tell that person the way they're treating you is unacceptable.

2) Don't be afraid to speak your mind

Some people tend to be tight lipped with what they want to say out loud but instead say it in their heads, which is completely okay and sometimes it's the smart thing to do. Then there are other people who do not care what they say in their heads that choose to vocalize their thoughts and opinions. If you notice something that just isn't floating your boat, speak up. Don't be afraid to say,"Hey! I think you're acting like a complete jerk and I think it needs to end here. Right here. Right now!" Don't be tight lipped about the unfair treatment you are receiving from someone. Let them know that their actions are unacceptable and unwanted in society and in your life as well.

3) Always remember that you deserve to be treated better than the poor treatment other people give to you

Don't ever think you're being treated poorly because you're being too nice to someone or because you think you did something drastic to them even though you did nothing wrong. You have to realize people tend to act like horrible people because they aren't happy with themselves, and they think it's cute to act like a complete jerk. They have no morals or respect for other people around them, and sometimes they were treated poorly the same way from other people and thought that they have to act like a horrible person to avoid being treated poorly again. Don't be like that person who has to turn into a horrible person in order to avoid getting hurt, because we are not breaking that, "Everyone is acting like an A-hole" cycle. We are continuing it. We must remember that people who behave horribly to others are not happy with themselves internally and they have to project their unhappiness onto others.

Always remember to be good at heart to others no matter all the bad treatment you receive in your life.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
