Maintain peace wherever possible, but fight for what is right.

  • Absolutely no discrimination or prejudice is acceptable – e.g. racism, ableism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia etc.
  • Things like racism etc do not go away just because we want them to, they require work and constant growth.
  • Always acknowledge privilege and work to offset where possible.
  • Being part of a minority/ marginalized group does not make a person exempt from being a crappy person or doing bad things.
  • Everyone can learn and grow. We all make mistakes and maturity is being able to see that we are all human and our mistakes don’t define us.
  • Always be prepared to rethink opinions when presented with new information.
  • Always protect your space, mental health etc, and if someone is bad for it, remove them, obviously after giving them chance to change.
  • Stand by your friends through tough times, but do not be afraid to call them our for poor behaviour or even cut ties if they turn out to be bad people.
  • It’s better to be known as a kind person than a pretty person. Work on your personality before your aesthetic.
  • Those who won’t accept you for who you are now, probably never will, no matter what you change, so make sure you only change for you.
  • Be prepared and ready to ask for help if you need it. It doesn’t make you weak to need others.
  • Offense can only be taken, not given. Seize the power and refuse to be offended.
  • Just because you can handle something, doesn’t mean others can. Don’t just treat others how you would want to be treated, treat them how THEY want to be treated.
  • It is possible to forgive someone but remain aware of what they did. Trust has to be earned again.
