Some questions to think about or talk with your family about: Why did the boys laugh at Asiya? How would you have felt? Think about the wise words from Asiya's Mama. What did Mama mean when she said: Don't carry around hurtful words that others say. Drop them. They are not yours to keep. They only belong to those who said them. What can you do to be accepting of those who are different than you? How are you like Asiya? How are you like Faizah?
