"A boy who can't stand up for himself becomes a man who can't stanp up for anything"

"A boy who can't stand up for himself becomes a man who can't stand up for anything" p. 22 Do you agree or disagree? Explain I disagree with that because if someone doesn't stand up for themselves than that doesn't mean that he can't stand up for anything. Maybe that person can't stand up for themselves at that moment. The person probably doesn't want to because he is too weak to do it at the moment. The person can either not care what people do to them. People are very different from other people some people may find some things to stupid to stand up for while others find it worth it. Like the saying one mans trash is another man's treasure. The man who thinks is trash won't do anything for the trash meaning that he won't stand up for it but the man who thinks it's a treasure will do anything to get his hands on it meaning that he will stand up for it. I can also relate the solders who get tortured out in war. Some of the men would give up any info that they have just to get away from the pain that they will experience, while some soldiers would rather die for their country. The men that die for their country are like the men who stand up for something. All the soldiers that fight for our country once could not stand up for themselves in the training they had to take to become soldiers.
