Young Love, Old Divisions

After reading "Young love, Old Divisions" which was about a young girl named Beatriz and a boy called Lionel. They are young, and they really like each other. How ever, the school makes fun of Lionel for going out with a "Mexican Girl"(Beatriz), and to Beatriz they say "That's the girl that goes out with the black kid".Lionel's parents are African American and they don't mind Lionel going out with Beatriz, because in his family biracial relationships exists. Beatriz parents doesn't mind neither. However, they think Beatriz is too young to be in a relationship and they think she has a future ahead of her because, she has a "Social Security Number". I think that they are going to last because they like each other a lot. For example, when Lionel was in school and he passed by someone said "He goes out with that Mexican girl" He ignored them and kept walking.
