About this listen

Words can feel small, yet they carry weight. On this episode of Let The Children Speak, we talk openly about name calling—when it feels like joking, when it turns harmful, and how it impacts confidence, friendships, and mental health. Young voices share their experiences with teasing at school, online, and at home. We explore how tone, intent, repetition, and power change the meaning of words, and why something that feels fun to one person can hurt another deeply. This conversation creates space for honesty, empathy, and learning how to speak without causing harm.
