I've heard the saying, but think it's wrong.

Words can definitely hurt people, they can lead to mental health problems, lack of self worth etc. Plans are afoot to treat mental cruelty in the same way as physical assault.

I remember Maggy (as a former teacher) once posting that she had witnessed a child/children being destroyed by bullying (not vertabim). I think that it was because they were ginger.

I just don't get why people think that it's ok to hurt other people for their own amusement, usually because they are different in some way.
