[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This poor teenage girl. I hope she’s ignores every adult who doesn’t know her who’s judging her emotional connections. She’ll learn which life works best for her through her own experience. It sounds like much of it is painful already.

OP, do you have any black friends that can help you navigate this? If not, consider how your daughter may be internalizing that. [/quote]

Not OP. I know how my mom would answer this.

I’m not going to answer questions to you about my friends. Of course I didn’t think about what you call it? What do you think my life was? Do you know what it was like to move across an entire ocean? To be in a new country with a baby? We didn’t have time for post-partum depression! I didn’t even know what it WAS until you were 10 years old! My friends are the people I found in a NEW country. We helped each other survive.

As I write this I see why immigrants often connect with each other.[/quote]
