People that don't think words can hurt take these scenarious into account.

You call a kid a "loser" he gets home and his dad says the same thing to him over and over as he beats him. Later that's all he thinks he is gives up on life and kills himself think about..you helped.

You see a kid overweight can call him "fat, oinker, useless, tubby" any of those. What you didn't know is that his mom is 500lbs and died of a heart attack this morning. He already knows he's overweight but you just convinced him he was destined for a short life so he gives up on life as well....you helped

You see another kid, really skinny and small. You pick on him everyday just to get your kicks. telling him "he's not a real man" again his dad tells him the same thing. Telling him to "become a real man" until one day realizing he doesn't have the strength to stand up for himself he buys strength in the form of a gun. Comes to school and shoots half his classmates...and then himself. Think about it, you helped.



Now i encourage you before you say something bad about somebody...think about it. You have no idea what they may be going through

Very well said! Bravo!

Well said Bro.

very true thanks for sharing with us

Very good and words to live by

Sadly enough it is very true. And more so for some of us then it is for others. It's true, you just never know, until it is you.

Well written and conveyed.

Unbelievably true.

If you don't mind, I'm going to copy this and give it to a friend of mine thats a journalist for one of the local papers where in Toronto.
Hopefully he can use it as an article and pass this message to others.

Peace to all.

Don't mind at all.
