    “Never spend time with people who don’t respect you.” because I would not ever want to play a game in which I was getting disrespected. If someone starts talking bad about you or someone else, then just walk away so you dont hear something mean or disrespectful.

    “Never spend time with people who don’t respect you.” (New Zealand Saying) I agree with this comment, Im pretty sure that you dont like people disrespected you. People might make you do things you dont want to do and might force you to emberras yourself. If people dont respect you, you can never fully respect them.

    I am going to have to agree with this comment entirely. If you are in the company of someone who is harming you, or doing something that is not good for you, it is best for you to get out of there. But sometimes, if you are lonely, you might not realize that you are in bad company, and you might not leave right away, so you always have to be careful.

    “Never spend time with people who don’t respect you.” (New Zealand Saying). I prefer this saying because it is true. If someone doesnt respect you, then you shouldn’t give them respect or your time. They aren’t worth it if they don’t give you the respect you deserve. Don’t ever give someone your attention if they won’t give you any attention or anything.

  9. Alexis

    “Deal with yourself as an individual worthy of respect.” (Nikki Giovani)
    You need to respect yourself and make others respect you or don’t hang out around them. Obviously if they don’t respect you they aren’t worth your time. There should never be a time where you feel disrespected and still hang out with those people because they will only make it worse and take it to the next level of hurt.
