These children have not reached the angst of their teenage years, but they are starting the process of sorting out for themselves their own identity just as they begin to understand more about biology. At a younger age, they were just beginning to identify the differences between themselves and their peers in terms of race, but they are continuing to encounter questions, teasing, and possibly even bullying from their peers.
