One of the things I do at my church is tell the kids how their parents got here because the parents don't talk about it. The first American-born generation knows they have family in Viet Nam. Their children are even hazy about that. The ones who know where they come from cope better with the snares of being modern American teenagers.
You're a good man. Thanks for doing it.
problems enough being an American teenager ....
and believe me, from Ireland or VietNam, they are all being brainwashed by others than us, their parents...
best we can do is put our collective 'foots' down and remind them that 'we don't act like that in THIS family'.....
