    Some people think verbal violence is not real, but I belive (not to say I know) that sometimes words hurt more than physical violence. And if you say yes, have you ever been a victim of it?

    Verbal abuse? Hell yeah. I bet you can all guess why as well. I do agree that verbal abuse hurts more than physical but we all have to live with it. People know that is the way to hurt someone. I really do wish people would keep their opinions of others to themselves and not have a go at them just because they are different in some way :angry:

    It's a well known fact that verbal abuse exists. Insults, slurs and any other "abusive" things can cause paranoia and general depression. You might think that what you are saying is just petty, but over time it can all mount up.

    To be honest, I'm the one that normally dishes out all the cursing. I can get annoyed really easily, but I bottle it up until it all explodes in one huge rage (Haha, "mad ones" they're called by my mates :p)

    I just try to make sure I fix things up with people after it's all calm :\

    i so totally agree that verbal abuse is more painful than physical. you can heal from physical abuse but from verbal it takes take to heal. i have been a victim of verbal abuse and physical. i have healed from the physical but the verbal stuff still gets to me and i get made fun of for being different. if you guys ever saw me around i dress differently than others and i'm a bi so people like to make fun of me because of that and it really hurts. but i dont let it show and they start to leave me alone.

    i have to admit, i got ALOT more than anyone deserves when i was a kid, thats probobly also a problem with mine, i usually do more talking than fighting, i have a very bad anger problem, cuz my temper is short, and i explode, usually say anything without thinking about the consequences, i try not to do it, and its not happened so much recently, but its a pretty scary side of me

    Verbal abuse is real. I get verbally abused in school all the time, everyday. But, on the other hand, I'm a good freestyler, and I can make up some pretty harsh rhymes about people on the spot.

    I don't do it for the fun though, I do it in defense. Buuut, yes, I believe it's true and it does hurt more than physical attacks (usually).

    Kids these days just don't understand the word 'respect'.

    yeah verbal abuse hurts more....emotions are being tampered with when there is verbal abuse....i get this at school all the time too keaton and i hate it....i dont say anything back and i just let them bore themsleves because i aint saying anything back...but seriously its rough i cant stand it...and one of these days im going to break....and thats so true kids have no respect at all...like we get a ping pong table in our caferteria and people have trashe dit after a week...even though it doesnt have to do with verbal abuse but i still think that kids should understand that other people have feelings like themselves...
