- "Sticks and Stones" (stylised as "sticks + stones") is a song recorded by English singer Nicola Roberts, for her debut studio album, Cinderella's Eyes (2011). Roberts co-wrote the song with Maya von Doll and its producer Dimitri Tikovoi. "Sticks and Stones" lyrically discusses her negative experiences as part of the girl group Girls Aloud, including that of her underage alcohol consumption and "faceless" bullying from the media and other celebrities. The song found success with anti-bullying organisations and garnered positive reviews from music critics, with many complementing the honesty of its lyrics. A lyric video was posted on Roberts' official Twitter account and YouTube channel. She performed an acoustic version of the track, which was then also uploaded to her official YouTube channel. Roberts appeared on British morning show BBC Breakfast to discuss her activism and the lyricism of the track, which led her to do the same on BBC News and discuss the same issues with Rolling Stone. Continuing her activism, she talked to the education secretary Michael Gove to help eradicate bullying. (en)

- "I wanted a song that could highlight the subject so it was like, actually I’m so not on my own here. And it wasn’t until I put it on YouTube and people left comments underneath that I realised what it meant to people, and it’s just unbelievable. It’s amazing that people who maybe wouldn’t say anything to a friend would post a paragraph on YouTube about the way they feel. I think it’s just so powerful." (en)
- "I was crying when I was reading the comments. It didn’t help that the song was playing at the same time I was reading, so it was like double whammy. It makes me feel a little bit emotional as it is. But it really struck a chord. It’s so personal to me that I didn’t realise it could be the same for someone else and the comments made me realise that and it’s just amazing. People really resonate with it and that’s the whole reason why I write music. I want people to relate to it. That’s what I want when I listen to a record. I want a song to make me go: ‘that’s how I feel right now’. I feel like I’ve managed to do that with Sticks and Stones, and I feel proud that I have that. It’s a song that has a purpose rather than just a generic concept." (en)
