Sticks and stones may break your bones, but words may never hurt you!?! I think words can be very powerful. I get more hurt when people say hurtful things than doing something to me. Anyone else feel this way?

there is a saying ..."the pen is sharper than the sword" ....so i guess that this issue is on people's minds from a long time ago .You may hurt the body ...it recovers.but if u hurt the soul , the feelings of someone ,it may never be possible to recover

Yes, sticks and stones may hurt, but that bruise will probably heal. Words can be just as hurtful and even moreso because they can form scars that no one will be able to see on the outside and can be carried inside of someone for a lifetime.
Although adults tell kids this little rhyme to help them to get over being teased or being talked about, this saying it totally and completely untrue.
