    I've always heard..."Sticks and stones will break my bones but names will never hurt me."

    (And I don't believe it.)

    jh, My mom used to say names, when I told her my bro was calling me names. 'course, she always let him get away with anything. So did my dad.

    Come to think of it, that's how my sister would sing it to me....The "B"..........

    But whips and chains excite me.

    Would not have been in the Aussie Army, we did not allow "shirt lifters" in the case of men or "dud droppers" in the womens` services.

    mycatsmom

    We really didn't want to look at that.

    You mean I can start calling you names from now on?

    PUNISHER9338

    GO AHEAD ITS NOT GOING TO HURT ME.

    When in doubt, Silence is Golden.

    Obviously that little poem came from better times before 'Political Correctness', today names hurt people and they will sue you..   As far as the 'sticks and stones' that too has given way to AK-47's and IED's..

    THANK YOU ZORRO.

    Verbal abuse is destructive.

    Words can be as lethal as a bullet.

    Is this an invitation to call you names and see  if we can make you cry ??

    PUNISHER9338

    OK GO ON AHEAD AND TRY.

    It's the pot calling the kettle black

    Doolitle disagrees with this statement. Verbal abuse is essentially an assault on someone's soul.

    Maybe breaking your "Bones Will ( my Wife is a bone crusher!!and I should "Know."Whats your Address?

    It will take some people a lifetime to find themselves after sustained verbal abuse.  The affect it has on a brain can ruin a life.

    Caddam said it all.  I've seen so many kids suffering for years due to words said to them.  Words I beleive might hurt more than sticks and stones.  Sticks and stones just make you want to hurt somebody.  Words hurt the spirit.

    A child's self esteem and life can be drastically altered by negative comments and statements made during their life, low self worth can effect their entire lives

    Grew up with it, trying to work through it but still can't get over it.
