[QUOTE="SadFlower, post: 674121, member: 19741"] Thank you guys for your feedback. Daughter doesn't really want me to talk to the school because she doesn't like to trust her teachers. I'll talk to the principal anyway although I really don't think he would do much. I told her that next year she will go to a new school, even if we'll have to take a loan to pay for that, and she's really looking forward to it. We'll see how she feels in 2-3 years, but right now she's saying that she doesn't like this country and that Americans will never consider an Asian person as a "real" American, so why try. She will always be asked "where are you from" or complimented for her good English. She loves science fiction, so she was looking forward to watching the movie "The Martian"; but then she found out that the NASA administrator who was described as an Indian man in the book has been replaced by a black man in the movie, and the character of a Korean woman was replaced by a white woman. Daughter was very angry about that. Daughter cried yesterday and said that nothing she does ever works. I asked her what does she means and she said that she wanted to make friends and that she thought that drugs would help her with that but now "everybody's angry at me". I'm glad she understand the consequences... but I'm just so sad for her. We've sent daughter's saliva sample to the company that does the DNA testing, and daughter asks about it everyday now.
