Respect Quote by Matthew Benson
“Your privates aren't a talent show, don't show them off. Your wrist isn't wood, don't cut it. You're not fat, don't starve yourself. You control your emotions, don't be depressed. You aren't better than anyone, don't be a bully. You're life isn't a book, don't end it. You're not a toy, don't let others play with you.”
