1. Sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me.
2. Sticks and stones will break my bones but words will hurt twice as bad.
I think the second one is more realistic. Which one do you find more real and why?

Man I wish the first was true but I completely agree with you...the pain of a good punch can last maybe a week but the pain of truly hurtful words can really last a lifetime. Great question!

The second one it should be stick and stone will break my bones and heal, (except for spine) but words wound my heart hurt twice as bad.
And no one see the scars

what like a dictionary?
jk, words hurt the inside, but not physically, wounds get healed, and words you have to heal that yourself
they say the first one so that the person would get stronger mentally, the second would be something to tell a pansy child

The first one. Just ignore the bad words. Why should anyone give another person the power to make them feel badly. All that really matters is how someone views themselves.

No because sticks are to thing and stones are to small to break bones. More realistic would be Branches and boulders will break my bones............

I have never seen anyone cut, bleeding and bruised from someone talking to them. The gist of the comment is to not be so sensitive - the only opinion of you that matters is your own.

the first...words are words ...the person who takes the time and energy to say negative things is the powerless one

words can only hurt feelings if you let them. if you don't let them, then words can not hurt you.
