No-brainer, really, if you’ll pardon the ambiguity!
Lol – Cheers Dave!
Not only take away the stick. But stick them on the till at the takeaway. That’ll learn them.
Lol, On the check out or as a kebab?
They don’t have enough money to become a doner yet…
Und Blitzen!!
Reminds me of sticks and stones will break my bones but names….now names seem to hurt as much as sticks. Or are the names the beginning…. Take away the sticks and talk about the hurts.
Well Georgina, I think that words always hurt. It is just that psychological wounds aren’t visible. Words cut deep. Only the really arrogant are immune.
We were taught this bravado though from our parents and peers as a fightback to bullying. Don’t let them get to you. But now kids get it through their phones into their bedrooms.
It’s insidious and extremely damaging. I do not think people used to believe how fragile human minds really are. We appear to be resilient but inside it can throw you into anxiety, panic, depression and destroy self-esteem. A brave face hides a multitude of deep injuries.
Yes, that surface or not in all kinds of ways.
I think we’re only starting to realise. There’s a huge wave of mental illness. Social media and modern life have a lot to answer for.
