The hidden weight of labels

This is regarding the cover story “The hidden weight of labels” by Shahmeer Asif (YW, July 5). The article opened my eyes. I never realised how casually we use labels without thinking how deeply they might hurt someone.

It’s true that these words can affect someone’s confidence and identity. It made me reflect on things I might have said for fun that weren’t so fun for others. I think not just kids and teens, but adults too should read this article to realise where they might be crossing the line.
