What a inquisitive game? Teenagers know it most well. It’s a game that could be good but at the same time it could go dreadfully wrong. It could get people in trouble very, very easily.
You ask which is worse, true or dare?
Truth… not even wants or even likes to hear the truth. You think it’s safe to go with the truth instead of being dared, well, it’s actually more dangerous than you can even consider.
Ever heard the saying, “Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words can never hurt me.” Well, this is false. Someone can break your leg but the wound will eventually heal, you may not even remember the full pain of the break, but a word, especially a word from someone you care deeply about, that will stick with you for years and years to come. You’ll remember that one word when you are laying in bed next to someone else or walking down the aisle of a grocery story and you’ll think, (fill in the blank)…
Now a dare, it may seem dangerous but dares don’t last. Someone could dare you to kiss someone or cut your hair or something else, that’s harmless. You’ll forget that kiss, the hair will grow back, there’s no emotional damage to dares unless words are spoken.
I love words, but words are so dangerous. That’s why I’m very careful what I write, but at the same time, words give freedom. You can write whatever you want and for the most part, people will read it and forget about it in a day, but when you put force behind those words, that’s when the danger happens. People get hurt and never forget.
I never want to hurt people. I just want to touch them in a way that makes them think and consider their words before they hurt others.
That’s all I want to do and I can and I hope it will make a difference.
