This Hatch workshop dealt with microaggressions and how harmful they can be to young teens. All too often we hear these things, these unintended discriminations, which are just as harmful as intended discriminations and are incredibly damaging to all people. Especially young people. Microaggressions can be even more damaging than overt examples of bigotry, because they tend to make the recipient feel a sense of self-doubt about what they've experienced rather than outright anger. This can lead to feelings of isolation and contribute to poor self-image and depression.
