Since I was the OP............I have some comments........
I personally believe that it begins early in life. Meaning that if you are told early in life that you are not worthy (meaning in any aspect) that soon you may believe it. And sometimes it takes more that just someone saying, ..."Sticks and stones my break my bones........etc..." I'm sorry, but that doesn't cut mustard.
The few years before puberty, is the biggest impact on anyone's life...........PERIOD. Unless this person is receiving personal and professional treatment to wade through all the past garbage, it's not going to END with a phrase like "sticks and stones". It's easy for many to suggest ways to address these issues, but until you have personally experienced any early childhood experience that might make you feel unworthy/unloved, you really don't have the comments/solutions to help someone wade through all their past garbage.
Not that I'm judging anyone here, but I've seen what critical opinions can do to an adolescencent.
