Sticks and stones may break my bones but
words " will and most certainly do hurt you".
They cut deep into your soul especially when they are repeated daily weekly monthly year after year. They leave scars that may never heal. They create a cloud of unworthiness around you that no physical medication can heal.
When the source of the words is someone who just passes through your life you can convince yourself it is just a nobody that happens to be a cruel person.
But when the source is someone you are deeply connected with, on one of so many possible levels, the pain becomes unbearable because it breaks down the hope that perhaps it will end.
When the end is nonexistent by the daily repetition of the cruelty of name calling then if I decide that I will still tolerate it for " whatever reason " then I feel I am as responsible for the outcome since I do not stand up for myself.
Bullying has no place in our world.
The idea/notion " we'll he deserved it " is truly pathological and totally unacceptable.
