Question

in what ways do words differ from sticks and stories in their impact​

Answer 1

Answer:

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never harm me.” There are variations of this popular children’s rhyme which seems to have made its first appearance to the public in The Christian Recorder (1862). The intent of the rhyme was to encourage children not to retaliate or be negatively affected by name-calling, bullying, or by others saying bad things about them. Unfortunately, it probably did not work for the children or for the adults who were trying to teach an important lesson to their children!
