What is verbal abuse?
Verbal abuse is when someone hurts you with their words, saying mean things intentionally. Calling you bad names, demeaning you, putting down something you do, how you act, flaws about you, using their words to make you feel worthless, manipulate you, and keep you feeling bad. Some people say that they think verbal abuse is sometimes worse than physical abuse. When someone verbally abuses you it hurts your self esteem. It makes you feel like you are not on the same level they are. It can make you feel powerless.
