"Negative Behavior shouldn't be ignored, tolerated or dismissed....and leaving someone out, saying bad words can be as hurtful as fists."
"If someone hurts you never keep it inside, find someone to talk to and bend their ear....talking about it releases the pain, give it a try there is nothing to fear."

At times we all feel really down, when you aren't feeling good inside....
allow loved ones or animals to be by your side.  
Please, please as upset as you may get...
turn to a positive, healthy outlet. 

Never, ever raise your hands to strike others or an animal friend...
it will break a trust, placing your relationship on a road that can not mend.

Mistreating people and animals will never make things better or make the pain go away....
you will hurt more inside, so do not let those who love you pay.

Release your negative aggression and pain in a healthy way...
exercise, write, draw, dance or let the music play.

You will be fulfilled by not hurting others or yourself, gaining confidence and building strength from within....
by being positive is the best way to knockout negativity...it's a fight you can win!
