I like Andrew's thoughts of samoans from samoa because its true,we know how it is back home and once we set foot in the mainland we know exactly what we need to do to succeed.Life back home is breezy but you have to earn your keep like any other ,its just in the mainland is the next step to explore,i mean we live on the little small rock accomplished what we need to know about Samoa well the means to survive life ,its time to move to bigger and more advance places and thats the motherland U.S.

What is "who you is"? I'd rather stay speaking fob English than come over here and speak ghetto English. It's a disgrace to the sacrifices our parents have made to give us better chances in life.

Polynesian youth: GET EDUCATED, BECOME BETTER CITIZENS, HELP YOUR COMMUNITY

and for those of you who are--more power to you!

I'm so thankful for the adults' comments on this clip. I have grown up in the US since I was 6 and there is a serious problem with our Polynesian youth being ghetto, it's a disease. Maybe its because when our parents came over the only place they could afford to live was in the 'hood' but that does not mean Polynesian young people can't rise above that and speak proper English, carry themselves with integrity, get college educations, and give back to your parents by moving them to the suburbs!
