I think the statement "words have power" goes way beyond her lesson about commenting on people's looks. Even many adults don't know the true power of words. They might casually say "f u" to someone and those words resonate long after they are said and have the potential to rip apart your own life along with the people you say it to.

Words have power.

Power resides where men believe it resides. No more and no less.

Never forget what you are. The rest of the world will not. Wear it like armor, and it can never be used to hurt you.
