[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was just talking with a kid raised in DC in a multiracial home with friends from other races and lots of LGBTQ friends and family. The teen is going to attend college in a conservative part of the country in a few months. How do these DC kids raised here in a "bubble" where misogyny, racism, and homophobia are not tolerated do when confronted with this sort of thing in Red states or rural America small towns where it's common to make fun of people who are offended by this stuff? What's the best advice to give these teens? I doubt that many realize what they're about to step into, so warning or preparing them seems like a good idea. [/quote] Let them experience life outside their bubble on their own terms. They'll be fine. Don't underestimate your kid. If you want to prepare them, give them the book "Think Again" by Adam Grant. No need to say anything.[/quote]
