Sticks and Stones May Break My Bones, But Words Can Pierce The Soul

Somewhere along the lines of an old wives tale about, “…words can never hurt me”, we have found out that is a lie. Verbal abuse can cause just as much harm as physical abuse, but because words are seen as trivial and harmless, we do not take verbal abuse seriously. The tongue can be a vile little creature, and when the ones we love use words to hurt us, it cuts deeper than any physical scar can. Words are a double-edged sword; they can help or harm.”Use your words to heal not hurt!” Latonia Hendry
