Rejection is a part of growing up. This happens when applying to colleges, interviewing for a job, and much more. But the one that sticks out is relationships of any kind. Here's what not to do when you are rejected.

1. Beg

Want to know where begging gets you? Nowhere. If someone is mistreating you and you have to beg, get out of the relationship. Begging is not a good trait.

2. Spread lies

Are we children again? No. You damage your reputation in the end. Remember, once it is out there, whoever you were trying to hurt can destroy you if they are that vengeful. Don't start rumors unless you want karma to bite you in the ass.

3. Lose your cool

You are owned nothing in this world, other than basic respect. Don't get the job? There's a better one out there. Not getting your way? Yeah, that happens. Just don't blow up on someone because of it.

4. Throw slurs

As an avid social media user, I see this a lot. Don't call someone a b*tch because they ignore your shady comments and sexual advances. Or anything else for that matter. Let's keep it classy. You are not entitled to that person.

5. Imply the "friend zone."

We need to get rid of this idea that just because you want someone, they will automatically want you. No, there is no friend zone. They just don't see you that way, and that is the reality. Don't throw a tantrum and disregard what could have been a real friendship. But, if you do this, you probably never saw them as a friend in the first place.

6. Get violent

Hitting or kicking is what a toddler does when someone will not buy them a toy. Don't act like one. Being violent will only bury you in a larger grave, and possibly a restraining order or jail time. Say this with me: RESPECT. You cannot control others.

7. Harassment

Liking all of their photos, commenting too much, and other predatory behaviors are frowned upon on social media, and in general. If someone was freaked out by you, they would not respond in hindsight. Don't go on their personal property or through it either. You'll probably just get blocked, or worse.

8. Assume they will change their mind twenty-four hours later

*cough* You are incredibly sad if you think this will happen. Give people space and time. And if they never text back, well, it's probably a sign.

9. Body shame

Oh, I have seen this on many pages and feeds throughout the years. Just because you are upset doesn't mean you have to make someone feel like s**t. Grow up.

10. Threaten to harm

This action(s) will put you either blasted all over the internet or in a bad position with many people. Anger does not give you any right to threaten someone's life, or anything of theirs because they didn't agree.

As my favorite lifeguard said, "You can never assume common sense."
