"Young Love, Old Divisions"

After reading,"Young Love, Old Divisions", which was about an African American boy named Lionel and a Mexican girl named Beatriz, who like each other. They both are together, but it's difficult to stay together because of other people opinions around them. The only time they are together is in school, because they don't want to hear other people opinions while they are out together. I feel that it doesn't matter what people think about you if you like someone from a different race, as long as you like that person. Therefore, I hope that Lionel and Beatriz stay together.
