IMO that's a dead giveaway to whether someone cares for you or not. Bullies have the knack for saying exactly what pushes your buttons, our buttons, anyone's buttons you know?

I know we all probably know the chant sticks and stones... well words can and do hurt, but only to the extent that we allow it. Generally it's the feelings that go with the words--the feelings WE generate in response--that get to us. We may feel disappointment that they snowed us in thinking they were our friends, or that maybe they were in the first, but because of something we did they turned on us (which, of course is not possible with a real friend.)

"What can separate us from the love of God?..." I'm sure bullies are listed as something that cannot.
