Sticks & Stones

I remember this saying from when I was growing up. My mom and dad would always say "sticks and stones may break your bones, but words will never hurt you" I disagree with this quote. I think words are very powerful, and can defintally hurt a person. Especially while you are in elementary school things that other students say to you, can be very hurtful. An example of this is whenever I would do something bad, my parents would sometimes say that they were "disappointed" in me. Whenever they would say that one word, I would feel so bad because I never wanted to dissapoint my mom and dad.
