I defffffffffffff agree. As in, I think verbal abuse is worst. I mean, you can heal from physical abuse, but if you've been verbally abused over and over again, then eventually you just become used to it and think that it's true, and it pretty much wears you down inside.
I definetly agree that verbal abuse is worse than physical abuse. Physical abuse may hurt and sting for a while, but in the end its the verbal abuse and not feeling accepted or getting that sense of belonging that hurts a lot more. My mom was talking to some relatives this summer and was saying how when guys are angry with eachother they beat eachother up, give eachother a slap on the back and then go hang out and paly soccer or something they jsut forget about it, where girls use verbal abuse and thats what gets to them... and they remember it and hold a grudge for a lot longer. i suppose that could be a bit steryotypical, but in a sense its true.. its words that can really hurt...
Amber - are you referring to "people that have hurt them in the past" as in physically? If so, ya that makes sense - you can be afraid of getting beaten up over and over again.
It seems like most of you would be saying that verbal abuse has more long lasting effects than physical abuse (not that the effects of that don't last a long time).
My question to you in regards to the video and verbal abuse is: Do you think that what is happening to the girl in the video could be considered "teasing" if so what is the difference between bullies and teasing?
i think that teasing is a form of bullying. teasing is just more the mental aspect of it though
hmm, good thoughts. More thoughts???
I think this video is very true. People throw words out so quickly and easily never realizing how much they are hurting others. Some people might consider this teasing but it all depends on how the person interprets what it said. I agree with the people who say that it is generally girls that use their words like they are throwing little razorblades.
I think stuff like this happens daily and we never realize how our words hurt anyone. the sad thing is taht we are all doing it...without even noticing it. but yea i gotta say that in my life the things that brings me down the most is words...just one mean would could make me upset for days...says...NANCY woot wooot...
Some girls can be so vicious with their words. It might not even be outloud it could be graffiti on the bathroom stall either way it changes you, it sticks with you for a long time.
