### sense in the lessons

In feelings and kindness lessons: it is normal to dislike things or be angry, but hating people is harmful; «hate speech» and bullying because of who someone is are wrong. Saying «I hate you» can hurt deeply even if you did not mean it. In stories, hate can drive a villain, and love or friendship can overcome it. Phrases: «I hate it when…», «love-hate», «hate crime», «I'd hate to be late».
