Hi - I am somewhat new to the SEO end of things. I recently purchased some additional domain names for my site, but as of right now they all forward to the main page of the original site. Will this hurt my ranking in Google? Will forwarding them to the area of the site that they relate most with help? - Thanks

It will make zero difference either way.

The only SEO benefits - and they can be big - are depriving rivals of the domains, and catching spelling errors and type-ins. But once you have the .com, you don't need many others.

It's always going to be the main site that figures in search, so that's where the main audience will come from.
