As one of 21 African-American students in her class of 164, there were few faces that looked like hers. But Brown found mentorship and role models in two African American “success liaisons.” These district staff members, plus a separate nonprofit called SEO Scholars, helped her study for the SAT, polish her college application essay, gather college recommendation letters and apply for summer internships.

(CNN)More teenagers are identifying themselves with nontraditional gender labels such as transgender or gender-fluid, according to a new study. The research, published Monday in the journal Pediatrics, found that almost 3% of Minnesota teens did not identify with traditional gender labels such as "boy" or "girl." That number is higher than researchers expected. A UCLA study from a year ago estimated that 0.7% of teens identified as transgender.
