Words do hurt. The stay with you for a long time. A broken bone will heal but a being hurt by words does not go away easily. I am a freshman in high school and I have been attending band camp. Some things that I have been told and things that people say to me or yell at me are still with me. The last time I had a stick thrown at me it did not hurt at all. Well atleast compared to the hurt I have gotten from people at band camp.

“ Sticks and stones may break my bones, but cruel words can never harm me,”Is not this simply an expansion of the common proverb, “ Hard words break no bones', which we may contrast with the other, “ Soft words butter no parsnips "
'Tis said hard words break neither pots nor
bones, Owners of windows should not play with stones.
All the above are from the early 1800's England and are likely from much earlier.

I don't think it was ever specifically composed by someone.
It was most likely passed down through generation.
Though the actual rhyme rings untrue.
