Hey! I'm doing a project on how people (especially third culture kids) change themselves to be accepted by society. I was wondering if there was any chance you could help me? I need someone who is a third culture kid to make a video talking about what a third culture kid is and how its made you want to change yourself to be accepted by society. If you could help me it would mean a lot, but its okay if you don't want to! Thanks x
