When something is offensive, it’s like when someone says or does something that makes you feel like your feelings are being hurt, just like when someone pokes you with a stick and it doesn’t feel nice. Imagine you’re playing with your toys, and someone comes along and says something mean about them, it doesn’t feel good, right? That’s what offensive means, it makes you feel upset or uncomfortable.
Think about when you’re building a sandcastle at the beach, and someone comes over and kicks it down. That’s not nice, and it feels like they don’t care about how much time you spent making it. Offensive words or actions can feel like that, too.
Or, consider your favorite ice cream. You’re enjoying it, but then someone comes and says it’s the worst flavor ever. That might hurt your feelings because you love that ice cream. Offensive things can make people feel sad or angry, just like that.
So, when we talk about something being offensive, it’s important to remember to be kind and think about how our words and actions might make others feel.
