Lie #1 – “Sticks and stones will break your bones but names will never hurt you.”
Name calling is hysterical on TV, and it rolls off your back when it’s a stranger. But, when someone important to you calls you names, the hurt lasts longer than any stick thrown.
Lie #2 – “When you grow up….”
Most people don’t grow up. Too often, they quit playing and having fun, but they keep doing the same manipulative, cliquey, bullying games you experienced in childhood. When we’re adults, we just call it “politics”.
Lie #3 – “You grow out of zits.”
Lying to us about this is just plain mean.
