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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Young people have a wonderful capacity to care about each other.
