The old adage, “Sticks and stones may break your bones, but words will never hurt you,”

I remember growing up using this adage. I used to think it was true because it helped out with the way people felt after they had just been verbally abused. This adage is correct to a certain point and it also depends on what kind of person you are. For example if there is someone that is very confident and doesn't really care what others think, this adage is true and their life will go as normal after virbal abuse. But for instance if there is a person who is very quiet, shy and polite they will most likely be hurt from words toward them. Its all in personality.
Also deep down in everyones heart they are truely hurt from bad things people say to them. Even if someone doesn't show they really are, hurt is there when it shouldnt be. Its not they're fault, people should think before they let words fall out they're mouth. Words can truely hurt a persons feelings.
