Yes. People hitting you with sticks and stones will obviously cause physical harm... however, when someone says something to you, they are obviously trying to boost their own Self-Esteem, well that saying isn't true today a guy name Jared Campbell came to my school and said, "sticks and stones may break my bones but words hurt more" and its absolutely true i know I've been and am still being bullied

The term was first uttered by slaves during the time of slavery in the US. The idea was that if the "Overseer" only cursed you and called you humiliating names that was much better than receiving brutal lashes from his whip.

Hence, the words "sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me."

It means that people saying things to you doesn't physically hurt -- you should be able to let it go and ignore it, because it's not real like sticks or stones would be if the people threw them instead of just saying mean things.

Sticks and Stones is a double entendre for Palestein. Sticks - palas/pides/pales (roots in Latin and Greek); Stones - "stein" (Yiddish via Latin / Greek / Aramaic / Hebrew" (i.e. Ben Stein is Ben Stone). "Words" in English is the pronunciation of "Weres" in old Yiddish a.k.a. High German. "Harm me" not "hurt me" is the alternate way of referring to Germany, i.e."Harmanli"(Bg) or "Harmanme"(Hg), the formal High German/Yiddish name being Ashkenazi. It all relates to a growing schism between pre-WWars German Jews and Palesteinian Jews, Palestinian Jews calling German Jews "antisemites" (thus coined the expression). Basically, Palestein may bust my balls, but your words(men) will never Germane/Harm/Have Significance - as many German Jews believed that God led righteous Jews out of their enemies midst in Palestein to a new Oz/Aus/Ash promised land of plenty and peace. The World Wars, for obvious reasons, changed the sentiments of many rabis on this issue and, actually, resolved the schism to rejoin or reunite Jews in the cause for a sovereign state, which became Israel in 1949.

You've heard the saying "Sticks and stones can break my bones, but words can never hurt me." This saying is completely false. Words have about as much power as a weapon. Words have the power to heal or to break, to raise or to lower confidence, to make sad or make happy, can impose great change, can kill enthusiasm, and can impose a permanent mark (good or bad) on your emotions that link to those words. Use words carefully and they can make someone's day.

Hold your head up high and ignore it. Insulting you behind your back is simply a petty and callous move, and you should definitely not sacrifice your dignity by falling to their level by responding to it. By ignoring it and continuing to treat the other person with respect, you are being the bigger person in the situation and showing them that you are above anything that they could possibly say about you.
