A festive atmosphere kicked off the Anti-Defamation League's 27th Annual Youth Congress in Boston, but the theme of Courageous Conversations is an indication of the serious topics on the agenda: bullying, cyberbullying, hate speech and hate crimes."Massachusetts rates number six of all the 50 states in the number of antisemitic incidents reported in 2022. In terms of hate crimes, the numbers are going up, said Peggy Shukur, the interim regional director of ADL New England.Attorney General Andrea Campbell gave the keynote address.Many folks do not report what they are experiencing. It's difficult to help, it's difficult to serve you if we don't know what's going on. So, please, use your teachers, use others in this room to share what may be happening to you that may be unfortunate so that we can help," said Campbell. "It's OK to share personal stories about, like, what you've gone through because it helps other people grow and learn, so I think that it's important that we all, like, open up, and also stand up to things that we see or hear," said Elsie Serrano, an eighth grader at Sharon Middle School.The congress brings together about 800 students from around New England, including Sharon Middle School, one of many schools that have not been able to escape the plague of hate."We're a great school and a great student body, but this is still happening, and we still need to be addressing it and bringing it to the kids and having kids talk about, you know, what it feels like to them and how we can try to prevent it," said Sharon Middle School sixth-grade teacher Ruthie Miller.

"Massachusetts rates number six of all the 50 states in the number of antisemitic incidents reported in 2022. In terms of hate crimes, the numbers are going up, said Peggy Shukur, the interim regional director of ADL New England.
Attorney General Andrea Campbell gave the keynote address.
Many folks do not report what they are experiencing. It's difficult to help, it's difficult to serve you if we don't know what's going on. So, please, use your teachers, use others in this room to share what may be happening to you that may be unfortunate so that we can help," said Campbell.

The congress brings together about 800 students from around New England, including Sharon Middle School, one of many schools that have not been able to escape the plague of hate.
"We're a great school and a great student body, but this is still happening, and we still need to be addressing it and bringing it to the kids and having kids talk about, you know, what it feels like to them and how we can try to prevent it," said Sharon Middle School sixth-grade teacher Ruthie Miller.
