"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me"?
Well isn't that a massive lie;
I believe the phrase should be:
"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can make me hate myself and fall deeply into depression and harm myself and consider suicide and go anti-social, because I've been told I'm unworthy of love so many times I believe it."
Think before you speak;
It can save a life, you see.
Words can hurt much worse than punches,
Take it... Take it from me.

That's so true. I like to tell myself that words are just words, but in the end, they can be more harmful than the most powerful nuclear bomb. Brilliant wordsπππππ
@Nicholas And you're worth a LOT more than what people have said to you. It may not feel like it, but you are. I promise. π
