My name is Marcia and I'm 11 years old. My name is Mary and I'm 11 years old. When they see us together, some don't believe that we're twins. They don't believe us; they're like, "Oh really? I never noticed that. I thought you were just friends," because we're different.

Racism is where somebody judges you by your color and not like by your actual self. I think racism is a negative thing because sometimes it can hurt people's feelings. Just because you're different, Craig, doesn't mean that you have to change very much to be like someone else.

If the world has to say only think about what's, then if it's going to be a rude comment, just don't bother saying it. Just don't listen to it. Just take a lot of... but ending up there. If it's going to be a nice comment, then go ahead; I'll turn tonight.

Like these people say, don't do the books, but don't judge other people by their looks. There could be so much different on the inside. If you're happy with the way you look, then you should stay the way you look. Just be yourself.
