Nigger and the power of words

Language is so powerful that people can be easily influenced by what others talking about. And one think happened when in high school happened beside me make me realized how powerful it is. When in high school, one of my friends fell in love with a girl, and after a few weeks he tell the girl he fell in love with her, and the girl agreed with him. But unfortunately, after half years happy life, the boy’s parents let him to go to Australia for his study. They can keep the relationship longer even though the distance is too far, and he can only stay two months in china, but the problem is the boy’s family is so rich even his father have the whole coal mine, but the girl’s family is not rich, just stay in middle-class. And when the boy go to australia, all the classmates tell her that the boy will find a better girl than her and all those words, and finally the girl dumped him. And just last week, the boy called me from australia and he told me he still love the girl and he don’t know why she dumped her. I think this is a good example of the power of words. The girl lose the confidence to love by the attack of words.
