Session 4

No. I do not believe that words can never hurt a person. A hurtful statement or even name calling can do much harm to a person mentally. In fact, harmful words can cause a person to feel low or have a low self-esteem, thus hurting them. Yes, compared to "sticks and stones" which "break our bones", the damage caused by words to a person may seem insignificant, but, we cannot just say that it does not hurt a person because it does.
