Sticks and Stones may break my bones but words DO hurt me

When i first thought about this saying...(the real saying being "sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me") i thought it was true. Although now that i've thought about it i believe that its false. People want to believe that words wont hurt you and you believe in yourself enough to not care, but deep down you do care. No matter what, words affect you. They can actually hurt more than a physical injury. A broken heart takes longer to heal than a broken bone.
