Sticks and Stones

There is an old saying that goes, “Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me”. This saying is often said in response to teasing or verbal bulling from one child to another. The truth is that the words we say can and sometimes do hurt, even if we did not mean for them to.

Tell about a time that you really hurt someone by something that you said. Were you able to fix the problem quickly and easily, or did the problem require time and effort to be resolved?
