As children grow up and age, they have to contend with a lot of things. Whether it’s getting someone to like them, falling in with a certain crowd, or just finding out where they belong in the world. Biracial children are not that different. Being part of two different races or many races, some often wonder where they fall in on the racial spectrum and which race they identify with the most. Some biracial children feel that they don’t belong and are inadequate with children who are mono-racial. This can be a source of emotional distress for them as they feel they must identify with one race or another in order to get a sense of belonging. However school and societal views are not the only key factors of the self-identity of biracial children.
