The fight I lost and the bullying I can't escape, sentence 6

Bullies rely on silence, and the mean words often stick and start to feel true; they are not true, and telling a trusted adult is the strongest move, not snitching.

Who acts: Bullies, mean words, words, telling · What happens: rely, stick, start, feel, not be, tell · To what, where: trusted adult, strongest move · Speech: someone speaks here

The tree: Mova annot: Rust (en) → Haiku 5.5 (medium, Batches API) patches; gates UD 2.18; agreed by treeagree rules (Stanza, Trankit, spaCy trf): R6-punct-agree ×1, R7-rel-agree ×1. The frames are read from the tree by Mova's frames reader (prag) when this page is built, the lesson read in order, so a pronoun may be resolved from an earlier sentence.
