Have you ever been othered? “To other someone is to make them feel like they’re not part of a group.” In this short video produced by the Santa Fe School for the Arts & Sciences, eighth grade students describe how we might exclude others based on attributes such as race, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. It’s not uncommon to have been othered, or even to have othered someone you know. Click play to learn more about how you can promote inclusion and acceptance of the differences that make us unique.

I have never heard the term othered before. I sometimes feel like I am invisible even when I'm standing with a group of people and trying to talk with them they ignore me. It's just plain rude! I trying not to do that because it hurts me so much and I don't want to hurt anyone else that way or any other way!
