Think before you say something.

What's up guys, just a quick introduction of myself and a thought that i need to get off my chest.

I am a 21 year old male who worked in caretaking institutions for the past 3 years and im going to go to school the next 3 years, studying psychological and social stuff.

In the past 3 years i learnt a lot about social interaction and what it means to go through rough situations in life, be it illness, loneliness, or some other form of "feeling bad".
I saw the power that simple words can have and what it means to be there for somebody.

So here comes the thing i try to get off me which i talked about in the beginning.

I was hanging around with a couple of my friends and tow of them don't really get along that well... They are always yelling at each other and stuff.
But my one friend (f) always keeps on bashing about our other friend (m) with things he is very self concious about.
He has thin hair and is a bit larger in size, so she keeps telling him that and calling him names and so on..
As soon as she starts getting personal (no friendly banter here) i see it in his face how it hurts him but he doesn't say anything against it, because hes a very harmonical person and doesn't want to produce a fight i guess.

I told her to please not be so rude to him and that it visibly hurts him when she says certain things, and told her to just not come if he is with us and she can't handle him without hurting him.

The whole point of what i am trying to say is, think about the words you say to someone, no matter how mad you are at that person in that specific moment.
Words are extremely powerful and can hurt badly.
Arguing and fights happen, be objectively and don't target peoples weaknesses because you are angry or mad at them.

Thanks for your attention, have a nice day and be kind to each other :)
