Today, I was writing in math class, and well, easy to think, my math teacher picks up my book and rips out my favorite page and into pieces about a guy finding his girlfriend dead in her bedroom after commiting suicide. He almost continued ripping pages but I said: "Please, don't, sir.", and he stopped.
This experience has tought me to keep a good eye on my work and to never let someone else get their hands on it. They might try to use your idea and get money for it, abuse it, get rid of it or never let you have it back.
I had experiences where close family members would take my work when I wasn't looking and have suspiscions that I'm writing about how I will be taken away and forced into prostitution to get money for my family. They thought I was hoping to lose all the money my family has and work on the street. I wouldn't do that. I ripped the page and never wrote about that again.
It just goes to show you, not everyone will support your writing and what you have to say, but giving up is stupid, so make sure you know where your story is at all times and make sure you know the person well before letting their paws touch it.
