13.Unkind Words Hurt the Brain There is a popular saying in the English language: "Sticks and stones may break my bones (骨頭),but words will never hurt me." Well,that is not true.Words do hurt.Children may be laughed at for being short and thin,or they may feel left out because their classmates say how strange they look with a hat on.What's worse,unkind words cause more than emotional harm.They can hurt children as much as being hit on the body,sometimes even more so. A recent study of middle school children showed that verbal abuse (言語虐待) by other children can harm the development in the brain.The study was a project done by researchers at Harvard Medical School in Massachusetts. Researcher Martin Teacher and his team also studied young adults,aged 18 to 25.They were asked about their experiences of verbal abuse.Then researchers took brain tests on them.Results showed that those who reported experiencing verbal abuse from their classmates in middle school didn't have balanced development between the left and the right side of the brain. The unusual thing about the human brain is that it still develops after birth.Babies can't walk for months because their brains are not fully developed.Other things,such as self-respect,creativity and learning skills also develop differently in every person.This is because development of the human brain is guided by the experiences during childhood and teenage years. The middle school years are a very important period for children to develop their brain.Unkind words from classmates during this period have the greatest effect on brain development,because children at this age are very sensitive (敏感的) to all kinds of influences from outside. Besides,the researchers also tested the emotional condition of all the young people in the study.The tests showed that people who had brain damage (損害) also had higher levels of fear,anger and depression than others in the study. Remember,words do hurt.Verbal abuse hurts not only the mind,but also the brain. We may not control what others say to ourselves,but we can pay attention to what we say to others.Start making changes now!
