"It's been hard to find what Kira, my immigrant neighbor"

From your other posts it appears that you are concerned about your neighbor in California and how her cultural beliefs are affecting her life. You also seem to be reaching out to find methods of changing what Kira believes your cultural norm. I.E.: what you believe.

I would advise that sixteen year old girls tend to change there outlooks on life frequently. Being that she is your neighbor as opposed to your family member. Perhaps you should consider allowing her to acclimate (old French origin) to the new culture she lives in naturally. She will likely adopt new ideas and new outlooks if the new culture of teens in California aren't receptive to her existing thoughts and beliefs.

I would look more to yourself as to why you feel compelled to change her or intervene immediately being that:

A. She is your immigrant neighbor.

B. She is in no immediate danger for her view and societal judgments from others isn't very helpful to a young girl finding her way in the world.

Also welcome to our forum and hope you find what your looking for here.
