Middle school, circa 2012. I sat at a table with friends for lunch and after a little bit, they’d all get up and leave even as it was still lunch. It was only when I pointed it out that they stopped doing it and apologized.

My experience with self advocacy is when someone told me to do something I don’t want to do and to wear and I speak up for myself telling them I don’t want to wear this and I don’t want to to do this

I’m still learning how to speak up for myself sometimes when it comes to defending myself in certain situations especially at work.

I am currently advocating for my room to be dark at night, so I can get enough sleep to keep going to college.

I speak up for myself if I’m not included with something or someone and I speak up for my friends and family when they need more support.
