advice
Well i'm a 16 year old girl, whose pretty,fun,and popular and I have alot of friends.But there is a problem that most people don't really see as a problem;i'm italian.Not everyone at my school, but a group of people constantly make jokes to me about my heritage.It all started on the first week on school when we had to write a paper about ourselfs (favorites,ethnic background,religion,ect.) so people could get to know us.well i put in there I was italian,and right after the class these girls came up to me and asked if my dad was in the mafia!what the hell is that about?no body has any respect now adays,and i guess it has to do with shows like the gottis and the sopranos(even tho i love them!) who give people the impression ALL italian-americans are like that,and that all italian-americans have dads like tony soprano.what should I do to get rid of this stigma and situation?thanks alot and I'll rate u a 5 if u don't act all bitchy about it!=)
Stand up to those girls and tell them your happy to be italion and that you proud of where you came from. Everyone had a haritage, and im sure some of those girls are part italion. Tell them that your dads NOT in the mafia, and that they should worry about their own fathers. Also italion people are awsome, i for one love italion guys! Those girls are prob just jelouse they arent part of such a beautiful haritage. Hope i helped! And good luck!
