There is much much more to touch on this topic, but I wanted to share one particular experience of mine from my teenage years.

Usually when a Young People's meeting ends, you expect to be transported back to your home, right?
On this particular evening I was with some Jr high and high school boys along with a serving brother. He was going to have us detail his car. This particular brother kept a very dirty car. I said no. Maybe a minute or two passed, and my no was not being accepted or respected. Seeing this was not going anywhere, I gave in.
I tried to say no and did not get anywhere with it. In retrospect, what would have happened if I stood my ground?
