Based from the website https://www.skillsyouneed.com/ps/assertiveness.html Being assertive means being able to stand up for your own or other people's rights in a calm and positive way, without being either aggressive, or passively accepting wrong.
So to answer your question, no assertive communication does not mean to persuade others to agree with your point of view, it just means to stand up for what you or other people believe in.
Hope this is what your looking for!

2) It's an absurd habit to force yourself to vomit. Also, you can't take medication (ex-lax) without a doctor telling you to do so.
3) Mark.
4) It's unhealthy to eat six slices on your own.
Hope this helps, have a great day!
True, your risking your safety by not letting someone know where you are especially alone
