Did you know that racism has major effects on those who have experienced it? It has taken a great toll on young children and teenagers. Effects such as mood swings, paranoia, not wanting to go to school, trust issues, and trembling.

Did you know that 32% of LGBTQIA+ middle schoolers are likely to commit suicide? 58% of LGBTQIA+ students have heard staff making homophobic jokes, 83% have been harassed or assaulted, and 82% have felt unsafe at school

A majority of people with a different race or identity have been affected by hate crimes. This ends with them trying to end their own lives. This also affects their mental health.
