Which political ideology do you most identify with?
Can standing up for oneself be taught, or is it an inherent trait?
You have to learn how to stand up for yourself in the long run, but you can also get help. I feel getting help from someone and relying on them are two different things. Being taught how to defend yourself could be a good life skill but having someone resue you will never help you.
I think it depends on the individual. Parents teach you how to protect yourself in life situations. Sometimes you can be put in a fight or flight situation.
