Overview

We use the word hate all the time--""I hate vegetables"" or ""I hated that movie!""--but what about the hate that actually hurts someone? There are words, symbols, ideas, beliefs, and actions that cause pain--to us, our friends, family, neighbours, and school mates. What if you've caused that kind of pain yourself? Or what if you, or someone you know, has been the victim of hate so scary it made you want to cry? Real kids from real classrooms share their stories here to help us to see the bias, prejudice, violence, discrimination, and exclusion around us--what hate looks like to them. Why? So we can stand against hate and never be the cause of it. And to show us how to cope and get support if we have been hurt. By sharing our stories, we all become stronger. Our schools, neighbourhoods, and communities become safer and more kind, and hate doesn't win.
