Response to verbal abuse

Verbal abuse as said in it's name is a form of abuse through the use of language to insult and disrespect a person. This form of abuse does not cause direct physical harm to a person but does this mean it is not bad?

After reviewing Kamaljit Kaur's blog upon verbal abuse, I found myself with the agreed assumption that verbal abuse is just as painful as physical abuse.

http://random-kam28.blogspot.com/ Verbal abuse is found greatly within domestic violence, this is a great example of how verbal abuse can be harmful. For example if you was with a partner for the time span of two year, and for a year of the relationship you were put down and made to feel unworthy,. These feelings could in turn form a state of depression. Depression creates a psychological and physical change in a persons body therefore being unhealthy. In many cases physical abuse has lead to instances of suicide, as described on the website http://www.suicide.org/suicide-causes.html

To conclude I agree thoroughly to the beliefs of Kaur. Verbal abuse is harmful and those doing it are bad. Below is a website that offrs insight into what verbal abuse is, physical effects, behavioural effects and emotional effects.
