You know the old saying about sticks and stones may break your bones but words can never hurt you. Mean words hurt as much as sticks and stones.
So many suicides by young people are attributed to hatefulness by others. People don’t typically kill themselves for one reason alone, but it is sad that so many end their lives from accumulative pressure of not feeling like they measure up.
I wrote this and a friend of mine whose daughter died by suicide posted this just yesterday.
What is the #griefheart project?
I explain my #griefheart project here.
See all #griefhearts so far on pinterest or on this blog by#griefheart category.
I have wrote something similar to both of these some time ago…but I cannot remember where I wrote it. We all have come up with the same representation of what we go through in a way… I believe it is in one of the main pages on our site, but I am not sure. Words are definitely hurtful. Obfuscating body language through the internet takes out intent and for a lot of people amplifies how those words are intended, whether they were meant to be hurtful, or meant to be a joke… or how hurtful they were meant to be. It also seems that the more time parents allow their children to grow up online, the more detached from living emotionally, by feelings and respect for others they become.
I would say this was my favorite #griefheart yet, but I am still partial to those kittens that we walked in on that were piled up in a heart shape on our bed.
