Sticks and Stones May Break my Bones but Names will Always Hurt me.

Names hurt everyone , and if you have ever been called a mean name, then you understand the feeling. Im almost 100% postivie that everyone has been called a mean name sometime in their lifetime. No matter what you cant say that you didnt care, because everyone cares about what people say/ think about you. People can be cruel and same some pretty harsh stuff. What i wanted to say was that i feel american teenagers are on this kick where you say "never let what people say hurt you", and my 5th grade teacher always said "sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me" to get little kids to stop crying about what was said about them. But honestly i dont think that should be stressed as much as it is. Maybe this certain blog isnt that Cultural but i feel that it should be adressed and it was just on my mind lately. Its part of human nature to care about what people say about you, even if you know in your own heart it isnt true, you still are hurt that someone would say something so cruel and mean about you. My advice isnt to forget about what they person said but what truely matters is what you take from those words and use it to move on. Your friends will comfort you , and deny it (even like i said you know its false) but it will still always sting a little and maybe eat you inside. This is because you are your own worste critic. and this is true for everyone. i know i am personally hard on myself, and if someone says something about me even if i know its not true i take it to heart. I feel that everyone does because like i said, we are our own worst critic.
