Verbal abuse is the worst kind of abuse in the world; it goes deeper than the physical part of a human being. It is like a cancer, that surface every time you are trying to do something better with your life; it makes sure that you don’t forget who you are and what category you should be in. You will spend a lifetime trying to measure up to people standards with the words that people place in you years ago. Just when you think that it’s over, it’s just begun to tear down your self-esteem, your character and your soul.
