Ouch Moments: When Words Are Used in Hurtful Ways

Microaggressions or ""ouch moments,"" as they are referred to in the story, are brief exchanges where an indignity, insult, or slight is expressedCwhether intentionally or notCfrom one person to another. For instance, when children use words like ""lame"" or ""gay"" to mean that something is bad, weird, or different, they communicate a message that having a disability or being part of LGBTQ+ community is equal to being bad, weird, or different. Children likely are not trying to be hurtful; they may just be repeating words that they have heard in the past and may not realize the discriminatory connotations. Young people have a wonderful capacity to care about each other. However, they need guidance, mentoring, and modeling from adults to understand the impact of their words and behaviours.
