How Words Hurt

General Information Add comments

6th Grade

Just a normal school day for me.

Last night I was on a GLBTQIA panel and we were talking about words. The words that others outside our community throw at us to make us less than; you know faggot, dyke, sicko, butch, sissy, dick sucker, etc, etc, etc. Those words the ones we try not to hear as they are being yelled at us. The ones that damage our souls over and over; journaling a few days prior I had realized that I am always waiting for a word to be yelled at me. I am always afraid I stand out; that others will notice and hurt me. I walk through life afraid of words.

What are the words in your life that you are afraid of?

    I’m not sure about words I’m afraid of. I guess I don’t think about that and just react/respond to what I hear. I have a word about you in that picture – adorable!

    Thank you for being yourself and sharing yourself with others. I have learned alot from your posts. I can see areas in my own life that I have not seen life through the eyes , heart , or mind of others. It takes so much courage and I admire you for taking the time to educate myself and others.

    Thank you!
