hey just wanted you to know you are not alone, lots of ppl everyday go through what you are going through and worse. I would lose your friends and find new ones if i were u. even if theyve been your friends since kindergarten. they dont sound worth it, as for your family just think of it like this... u dont have to choose them or ur boyfriend u can have both, its your family who has to choose between you or there racist feelings. If they love u they'll eventually pick u im certain of that. o by the way im also a white girl w/ a black guy but im a little older than u im 19 and im a second semester sophmore in college but i did go through the same thing that u are currently going through accept mine was worse, in a way, but i did have the support of my friends, its took me 5 yrs to realize that its not going to ever be easy its always going to be a rollercoaster but if you and ur boyfriend do fall in love i mean true love not infatuation, then you guys will over come it. Just keep God on your side and always have faith. Goodluck.
