It takes courage to stand for yourself against something which is not right. It takes solidly knowing it's much more important to fight for what is right than to concede to what is wrong.

Yeah I agree. And yeah I've done that before, not as much as I used to but I still do. When it comes to non-work related situations, I've gotten a lot better at standing up for myself but since I am new to the work force and just want to have a job which I do now, I am more reluctant but since I already had a bad experience, if I ever got another false claim like that again, I would definitely be more assertive.
You are right, I have apologized for things just to stop the heat. Basically just saying okay okay sorry, won't happen again. And then it just stops from there. Yeah I can't afford that anymore and I should have been more assertive since that can make me look bad. But I am definitely getting better at being assertive than I used to be. I used to be extremely laid back to the point where I accepted anything. Now, not as much. I am more willing to stand up for what is the truth now, especially in a non-work related situation.
