hot girls read books discussion

Okay, guys, which idiot thought of the saying, "sticks and stones can break my bones but words can never hurt me", like, no offense to anyone over here, but i just want to know what the hell came over them to think of such an idiotic saying like this.
Once again, not saying this to offend anyone😭

I totally agree with you words can hurt.. are you okay my dms are open

…wb a dictionary?

Oh nah ... sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will break my confidence, my heart ......and my bloody brain, at times !!

I think whoever made that was def NOT a teenage girl. Let me guess it was a teenage boy. 🙄 They aren’t exactly the brightest.

frrr guys

I was in WORLD HISTORY once, and the guy that sat next to me asked me if Cincinnati was a country. A whole COUNTRY. not a citi, not even a state. they're not Einstein to say the least

My primary school teacher used to say it to me. 10 yo mes response was "where have u been?" To this day I still don't know of a place where it's true.

I Can say from personal experience that words can hurt you.

But I think that that saying means: words can only hurt you if you let them.

I’m not saying that words won’t hurt, I’m just expressing my interpretation of that saying.

I’m also not saying it’s true.

i totally disagree with that saying - like words can hurt MORE than actions sometimes. ever heard of verbal abuse??

oh my goddd yes, my mom does that all the time. I never thought anyone else would think it was a thing!!

Actually what Rowan said is probably true, BUT I feel like when it’s used that is not quite how it comes off. Especially not when it’s being said to a bunch of teenage girl.

yea my mom does it all the time too

Yeah like sometimes things people say put me in tears bc they are meant to hurt and if they didn’t hurt we would all be robots

Yea like words are meant to hurt sometimes its sad but like when someone says “oh its just a phase” or “oh r u on ur period” or “dont be so sensitive” or even “no we dont side with your siblings all the time u shouldn’t be so spoiled” like words hurt 😔 and whoever said they dont prob was rich and had no problems and no one ever said anything mean to them. Or it was an old timer high school musical moment where they were like “oh sicks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me rEbeCCa!” lol 😂

It's meant as a philosophical statement, a state of mind, of being.

The concept is that if someone says something to intentionally hurt you, then they are not a person who you should care what they have to say.

That is to say, if someone you care about hurts you with their words, you need to tell them and explain why and if they choose to continue to hurt you.

Then you need to tell them where to go and how to get there, because they don't deserve to have you in their life.

You should never let how you value yourself be based on someone else's opinion.

Once you make that obvious revelation, that you deserve to be treated kindly and then are willing to stand up for yourself and how you as a person deserves to be treated.

Then the statement becomes a self fulling prophecy.

(As long as you treat other people the same as how you want to be treated that is.)

don't mind me imma rant on abt stuff

I see everyone putting stuff abt how words hurt more than actions. honestly, this is so true. when I was little, my mom used to always call me "lazy" and "useless". she used to always come at me like she would hit me but stops right in my face and call me all these names. and then like a week later she would say "why are you always so damn negative?" and I'm over here just minding my own business. I would look at her and say "well I wouldn't be if I didn't have someone who makes me think all of these negative things" and then she would get mad, and yell at me bc I apparently gave her a smartass attitude??? well mb if that's the way you make me feel.

and this is completely out of subject but do you think the people that commit suicide ever got hit? probably. but what's the number one reason that they kill themselves? bc they got told that they aren't good enough for this world. and those words could cost someones life.

so yeah... words have more of an affect than actions do.
(sry if I rambled alot)
