I met this great guy at a summer camp I went to last week. We really hit it off, and we like each other a lotl. We go to the same school, and we also like to call and text each other. I feel so happy around him! But there's one problem I can't ignore....
I'm a teenage white girl and he's a teenage black boy. He comes from a non-racist family, but I don't. My family has nothing against black people in general, but they don't believe in any kind of interracial dating. He doesn't know about this, and I've been hiding from my parents that I like him. I hate to break trust in my parents, and I hate to break trust in him!
He also asked me out and I said we should get to know each other first (because I'm not allowed to date him). How do I break things off with him without completely lying to him? I cannot disobey my parents, I feel terrible! I also feel terrible for him, because race shouldn't matter.
I live in the deep south, and it's pretty racist down here. Not only will my parents dislike me for this, but If I do date him, we'll both be judged by our peers.
I think I should break it off with him to make things easier for us bothe before things get too bad. I don't want to! If he were my color, my family would LOVE him. It's not fair to me or him!
What are your honest opinions on interracial dating, racism, and my situation? Advice would be appreciated! God bless
