Whoopi and the Word
Today I saw Whoopi Goldberg make an interesting reference to a word so dangerous to young people, in fact all people, that it can change the course of an entire life.
That word is Stupid.
Young children believe in the words of adults. They are supposed to. This how they learn and get their words of guidance.
When an adult tells any young child or teen that they are stupid there is a chance that the young person hasn’t developed the reasoning to grasp the use of that word enough to realize that is not a TRUE reflection of who and what they are.
They truly believe they are stupid and this may inhibit their motivation and ambition for personal effort and growth. Plus each child will have their own view of what the word stupid means, a childlike view that may be much more than what the adult realized or meant.
In essence, be very careful of the words you choose to use and how you say them to people especially young people.
