Growing up, being racially conscious was not part of my nature. I lived in a predominantly Latino community for most of my life, having close to no friends who were of different backgrounds. Those people who say they “don’t see race” — I was guilty of being one of them.
Then I turned 18, moved to the middle of nowhere in Pennsylvania to start my college career, and that’s where it all began to change. I wouldn’t say that I was a victim of racism in college, but I can say that people were strangely interested in learning about my nationality — almost too interested. My peers would often take guesses at where I could be from, and after revealing that I am of Cuban and Puerto Rican descent, the questions and commentary started pouring in. When I mentioned I was fluent in Spanish, they became even more aggressive.
It was almost as if people were trying too hard to not offend me as a Latina, with compliments that weren't genuine. But with these comments, there was a lot of underlying ignorance — something these people are not to be blamed for, because they truly just didn’t know any better. Rather than getting offended, I sought to educate, but I’m sure there’s still a lot of other Latinas who deal with this everyday.
At the end of the day, even if you might mean well, we’re just like you and would like to be treated that way. Here are 10 of the things Latinas are probably tired of hearing:
This is probably the one we hear the most. One’s form of expression is not to be blamed on their race, and the “Latina temper” stereotype is getting old. It’s also offensive to treat our feelings as less valid because of this theory. If you approached us in a better way, we wouldn’t get mad, plain and simple.
And what exactly is a Latina supposed to look like? People come in all colors, shapes, and sizes — including us! With so many Latin countries across the globe, it’s impossible for us to all look the same. Next.
Speaking another language isn’t something that’s out of this world — if we need to speak in Spanish, we will, but don’t treat us like performers. Another important note: not all Latinas speak Spanish.
5. You probably have like 20 siblings.
Wrong. This is just another stereotype, Latinas don’t all have multiple children and huge families. This may come as a shock to you, but some of us are actually only children (myself included).
Some of us are, but don’t be so pushy. Mexican isn’t a race, and it isn’t a language. There are TONS of Latin cultures across several Latin countries — not all Latinos are Mexican. Point. Blank. Period.
7. Are you legal? Is your family legal?
Is this even okay to ask? Let’s just move on from this subject, it’s invasive.
8. Being referred to as exotic, feisty, fiery, spicy, etc.
Are these supposed to be flattering?
That’s cool, but please don’t fetishize us. I’m sure there’s women of all different backgrounds who are worth your time.
Slow your roll, Kelly Osbourne ! We’re not all here to be the real life Devious Maids ; many Latinas have gone on to pursue hugely successful careers in a variety of fields.

This work includes a broad range of research on the current realities of Latina teens in the U.S. I found several of the articles to be very insightful and enlightening. "Latina Adolescent Girls" should help policymakers and service providers design programs to support Latina teens, and by extension, Latinos in America. This kind of positive scholarship is essential as more and more of America becomes defined by a bi-cultural reality, in schools, workplaces and other settings. This book should contribute to better understanding and policymaking that affects America's new majority minority.

Latinas are now the largest minority group of girls in the country. Yet the research about this group is sparse, and there is a lack of information to guide studies, services or education for the rapidly growing Latino population across the U.S. The existing research has focused on stereotypical perceptions of Latinas as frequently dropping out of school, becoming teen mothers, or being involved with boyfriends in gangs. Latina Girls brings together cutting edge research that challenges these stereotypes. At the same time, the volume offers solid data and suggestions for practical intervention for those who study and work to support this population. It highlights the challenges these young women face, as well as the ways in which they successfully negotiate those challenges. The volume includes research on Latinas and their relationships with family, friends, and romantic partners; academics; career goals; identity; lifelong satisfaction; and the ways in which they navigate across cultures and gender roles. Latina Girls is the first book to pull together research on the overall strengths and strategies that characterize Latina adolescents' lives in the U.S. It will be of key interest and practical use to those who study and work with Latina youth.

15 percent of Latina teens attempted suicide in 2015, according to a new report

Why do so many Latinas attempt suicide?
Erika Sánchez began to have suicidal thoughts when she was 13. Sánchez, the daughter of Mexican immigrants in Chicago, had always been melancholy, but during puberty she became hopeless. Unbeknownst to friends and family, she cried constantly. Before long, she began to cut herself.
When Sánchez was hospitalized at age 15, her parents finally realized it wasn’t just "normal" sadness that plagued their daughter -- it was mental illness.
“Finally, they began to really see me,” says Sanchez, now 32 and a writer in Chicago . “And that’s when we began to have more honest conversations.”
For Latina adolescents coming of age, this is not uncommon. In fact, Latina teens currently have the highest rate of suicide attempts among all adolescent groups in the U.S. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s 2015 youth high-risk behavior survey released earlier this month, 15 percent of Latina adolescents in the U.S. have attempted suicide. That’s compared to 9.8 percent and 10.2 percent for white and black female teens, respectively. Nearly 26 percent of Latina teens considered suicide.
“This is a very clear, but very overlooked trend,” says Dr. Luis Zayas , dean of the School of Social Work at the University of Texas at Austin, who is the foremost researcher studying Latina teens and suicide rates.
Zayas says many of the teens who suffer from depression were born in the U.S. but have immigrant parents who come from cultures where there’s no awareness of or vocabulary around mental illness. Many teens begin to suffer when they reach adolescence, precisely when they’re yearning for independence. Indeed, 14 to 15 is the peak age for suicide attempts among Latina girls.
“The want for independence rubs up against their parents, who often have more traditional values that they try to put on their children,” Zayas says.
As a Latina from a working-class immigrant family, Sánchez says she often felt different from her peers growing up. But she didn’t always fit in among her family either. That left her feeling isolated and misunderstood.
She remembers going to the zoo in Chicago with her friends when she was 16. She thought it was a fun, harmless outing. But when she got home, her parents reacted angrily that she’d been out of the house for so many hours.
“I didn’t get that. I just wanted to be independent,” she says. “I felt like I wasn’t this version of an ideal Mexican daughter that they expected.”
Zayas says families should consider if they are adjusting to their teen’s needs. “Can the child create their own bicultural identity?” he says. “Is the family allowing the teen to experiment and search for independence?”
He says communication between parents and their children is crucial, and especially between mothers and daughters.
A New York-based health and housing nonprofit, Comunilife, specifically addresses the Latina teen suicide epidemic through their “Life is Precious” program . In addition to educational support, art therapy and wellness activities, the program includes a strong family component.
Dr. Rosa M. Gil, Comunilife's founder, president and CEO, is originally from Cuba and began the program in 2008 after seeing Latina suicide rate data from the CDC, which she calls “alarming.”
The program’s goal is to “eliminate suicide by Latina adolescents by giving them tools that build their resistance and provide the skills to succeed.” Today, 120 teens from Brooklyn, the Bronx and Queens participate. All come from low-income families in New York City.
Though Life is Precious has had exceptional results, it’s the only program in the country specifically designed for this population. That’s why Gil is working to get the program’s method certified as an evidence-based practice that is a “gold standard.”
