You can not be taken advantage of unless you let it happen. You know the old saying "JUST SAY NO". When someone asks you to do something, take a minute and ask yourself if you really want to do this, or if you are getting taken advantage of. If you want to do it then go for it, if not you know the saying. It only takes a minute. Some people think they have to do all the right things or people will not like them. Well if people only like you for what you can do for them, then you don't need them, boyfriends are in that bracket also.

im really young and i have the same problem and im really shy around people who push me around but i have had to do it before whenever they ask you for a favor and remind them of things that have happened before when they needed something because im really nice and i dont like being mean cuz it starts rumors and talking behind my back so just help them out normally and remind them of what then they might think of what happened i dont know if that was useful or not hopefully it is haha

nice to meet someone like you. I had gone through this before & I hope my advise helps.
Be hard, Voice out & tell them off. No point being nice to people who ain't. I do like helping people but not to the extend of being taken advantage. Worse come to worse case leave them & make new nice friend as I understand it is hard to change a nice person character.

well still be out-going, just stop letting them push you around and taking advantage of you. it's not as hard as it sounds so don't worry. but, you could always try pushing them around, and threatening them if they don't do what you say. it usually works! GOOD LUCK!!!

Still be nice but make little threats firmness in your nice answers.
Example:
Girl: can I borrow 5 bucks?
You: yeah but you better pay it back else NEVER AGAIN
Girl: (giggles nervously) Okay, I will.
