[quote=Anonymous]Black woman here. I'm a public school product, but grew up as an only in most of my classes in K-8 and a few classes in high school. I'm going to be 100% honest, as much as she wants those girls to accept her, pushing the issue is only going to make it worse. From a teen perspective, she is an outsider and collectively teens dislike things different from them. She may find that one-on-one, these girls may be okay with her, but as a group mean girl behavior dominates. Some of the girls may not have an issue with her. My opinion is to go where you're accepted. If she doesn't have many black girl friends at her school, that sucks, but please don't force her to fit in with the girls who don't want her around. I'm almost 40 and I have predominantly black friends, who are mostly likely me, have a diverse background and like different music tastes, food tastes, etc.  I definitely longed for a lot of black girlfriends outside of school. My suggestion is to try to have her meet other girls at different schools and activities and go from there. [/quote]
