sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me.

NOT TRUE. I hate that phrase. sticks and stones may break your bones but words will pierce your soul and make you wish you’d never wake up. words will break you from the inside out; destroy you. why are kids so cruel? you don’t think what you say is a big deal? well, try being on the other end of the joke. words will stick with someone for the rest of their life, haunting them until they can’t take it anymore. broken bones will heal; the scars of verbal torment are forever tattooed on your heart, in your mind. people never forget the things you say to them. you made fun of her clothes. “big whoop,” you say, “it’s no big deal.” but her? she’ll never wear that outfit again, not after what you put her through. you called her fat and, “it was a joke”, you said. yeah. a joke. a joke that makes her never want to eat again, never want to show her face again, never want to breathe again. WORDS DO HURT. and i’m tired of people thinking they don’t. So please think before you speak badly about someone. Try just walking away. Something’s people can’t let go, it’s easier said than done. What if you meant the world them and your opinion mattered to them? They’ll take it to heart and it will constantly be on their mind.

Words can hurt.
