Re: Being raised in a desi neighborhood

As a kid i had a few desi friends, including a few that lived in my street and..there was drama. However, they then moved away and the secondary school i went to had very few desis so my friends were mainly white, including my best friend. I really missed having asian friends then. I felt like i could never fully relate to my white friends and vice versa, and during my final few years there, i felt this even more when they talked about their boyfriends or about the club they were going to go to.

So looking back, it’d have been nice to have had desi friends similar to myself, being a teen is pretty hard in itself so having had people like me around wouldve helped and made some things easier i think.

The pluses however of not being surrounded by too many desis lol is that yes they are quite nosy and they do like to gossip. I agree with pink orchids that moderation is probably best.

Agree.
