How to say ,"Stand up for yourself" and "take advantage of"


I have a younger friend that I want to use these kind of expressions with, but
don't know how to say it in Japanese. I want them to do their best and not
have people take advantage of them. I feel they might be the kind of person,
that would take negative things from other people to their detriment. So, I
want to say something like, you have to stand up for yourself sometimes. If
you don't people will take advantage of you. Any ideas?

> You should stand up for yourself and not have people take advantage of you.

How about...

「（ときには）[自己主張]{じこしゅちょう}しなくちゃいけないよ。そうでないと、人につけこまれるから。」

「自分の[意見]{いけん}ははっきり言わないといけないよ。そうしないと、[足下]{あしもと}を見られるよ。」

or maybe...

「[黙]{だま}っていちゃだめだよ。でないと、つけこまれるだけだよ。」
