                                 American born Chinese

     American born Chinese is a story about a young boy who is bullied because of his cultural differences in his school. He is one of the only Asian kids in his school, and he is made fun of because of that. he tries to fit in but he cant because no one will accept him and when they do their not really his friends. He starts to feel anger towards other who are different in his school and he feels this way because he wasn't accepted so he felt like he had to return the favor. Bullying is a very big problem in the united states because kids are bullied every day.They can make fun of how you look or even your cultural background. Kids often times may become angry and do very drastic things like hurt others or even hurt themselves and become suicidal. Bullies don't know when to stop because they cant stop they want to feel cool in front of there friends so they are pressured to do something bad to someone else. The boy in the story feels like there is no one their to help him or even guide him to happiness, no one to talk to or even express his feelings. Just because someone is different does not give a person the right o hurt them physically or mentally we should accept diversity. We are one of the most diverse nations in the world and we should be happy that many different people want to live here. Diversity helps us grow as people and brings us closer which is exactly what it should do. Living in the United States should be a peaceful place for anyone from any backgrounds or any different cultural past. this should not even affect us as people but it does because some people are very ignorant.
