“Sticks and stones can break my bones, but words can never
hurt me!” This often-taunted phrase is a lie. Words can hurt worse than a
physical injury and last much longer.
Bullying has always been around, but it seems more prevalent now than ever before. Children are exposed to torment from others and this can cause emotional scars that can take years to heal if not dealt with properly. Too many kids have even committed suicide because of what others have said or done to them.
We, as parents, grandparents, and friends can help our children and students by teaching them how valuable they are, and how much they are loved by God.
