being called a name isn't really reason to kill yourself tho so
This is dependent on the state or situation the person is in really, words, no matter where they come from, can hurt just as much as a punch to the face. Insults can be just as bad as physical pain, but instead bringing it on in an emotional form. It really doesn't matter how these words are sent, whether through text, or through one's own voice it will still hit a person like any punch can do. When something like an insult is directed toward someone, then they'll think that they are what they were called, and it's really hard to help those negative thoughts.
Again though, the situation depends on the state of the person who received it, they might just brush it off, they might take it but try to continue forward, or the person might have depression for quite awhile. And then the state of the person, how they take the word, depends on other factors too... How long a person has taken such things, like if they've been taking it for years or called so a million times, if there are already things going on in a person's life and other things like that.
The fact is, words have more power than people tend to think. Whether it was just name calling, insults, or saying rather terrible things, any of those things can be taken emotionally. Text, letters, or voice it all means something for someone.
All I'm trying to convey is, something like that shouldn't be taken in a small way. And that people, no matter which side it is, should be more careful with what they say. Because it can and will kill people, on the inside and quite possibly on the outside. I also want to convey and let people be aware of understanding the situation better for the person going through these things so they may word their sentences in a better way.
That said I do hope and pray that nothing has happened to thumper... I very much hope and pray nothing happened.
