Doesn’t that saying just mean get thicker skin and to not let words get to you? I think its aplicable to any age. Words shouldn’t hurt, they carry meaning of course but words of insult shouldn’t be taken seriously because that’s all they are, words.
Physical pain and mental/emotional pain are completely different, we’re in an age where people would rather call people names than to resort to violence which is good, I’d rather to have people call me something I didn’t like than to get into a fist fight with them.

The cream rises to the top. There’s only so many mages/priests to pair with when everyone wants to be the gladiator rogue.
Everyone else sits in trade chat “LF Mage for 2s or RMP!” and I don’t feel bad for them. Almost half the ladder is Undead, and its all rogues, mages and priests.
Words mean things. They convey concepts. Of course words hurt, and they should. And it’s not just kids it’s adults too. It’s not about “growing thicker skin” it’s about people treating each other with respect and being DECENT.
Grow a thicker skin - which means just shut up or else.
