This is such a powerful message. It shows that verbal abuse can hurt as much as physical abuse. That saying “Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me” is, in fact, a lie, in my opinion. Words do hurt. A lot. I am 19 years old and I have been verbally, mentally, and emotionally abused almost my whole life. Whether it was by my family or my most recent ex. To be honest with you, I’d rather get punched in the face physically. Verbal abuse has turned me into the person I am today. Insecure. Forever reblog. I agree 100000%</3
