it blows my mind ;
as a young child I am sure everyone heard the saying “sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me.” bullshit. I’m sure every single person can say they have been a victim of bullying at least once in their life time & honestly about 75% If not more is verbal. I don’t know if I am just talking about myself and my personal experiences when I say this but words hurt, they dig deep and they stay in the back of your mind for a long long time. nobody stops to think “oh what I am going to say can seriously hurt someone, impact their entire life” before opening their mouths. you call somebody ugly because they look different than what society says is pretty, but do you think that maybe their families don’t have the money to buy all these expensive brands, clothing, makeup etc? do you think about what might be going on behind closed doors? no. you call a girl a slut because she has been with multiple partners, but did you know that her mom brings home a new “dad” every night so to her its normal. you call him a skid because he has tattoo’s, piercings and he does drugs; but did you know his dad abandoned him and he turned to that lifestyle as an escape. you have no idea what other people are going through in life. you have no idea how much one meaningless word like bitch, slut, ugly, fat, whore can impact a persons life. people are mean, and words hurt. maybe you should stop and think about how you treat others. stop being so goddamn judgemental, cause honestly who are you to judge? I know I don’t.
