Age Difference & Unsupportive Parents

Trinity
Well, my boyfriend & I are 3 years apart.. He just turned 18, and I'm only 14 fixen to turn 15 in like 2 weeks.. My dad doesn't believe in interracial relationships so I've been hiding him from my parents.. I've sent my mom hints but I haven't came out & told her yet.. Any advice on how to tell my parents ?

I've always thought the same thing about my dad, especially since I've heard him say that everyone should stay within their own race and stop "mixbreeding". then I brought home a Mexican guy (who is about 3 years older than me!!!!!!). I was always worried about my dad not liking my boyfriend just because he was Mexican, but a couple months ago he was bitching about my brother and turned around and told me how much he liked my boyfriend and was amazed and the difference in my brother and boyfriend (both same age and both polar opposites). honestly, you won't know until you bring home your boyfriend. and honestly, if your parents genuinely love you, they shouldn't tell you who you can or can't date simply because of skin color.

I worried about the same thing when I first dated outside my race.  I grew up in a Northern Michigan town that was predominantly white and didn't really have a lot of experiences with others races until college.  I had heard my brothers and dad make comments about other races here and there over the years, so I assumed that they would be upset or angry. When my dad found out he was actually insulted that I thought he would care.  Years later- I am now with someone else, but still with a black man.  My family thinks he is a great guy.  They absolutely adore my mixed race five year old boy, and have been asking me to have a girl.  Once you let them them you will see that there was nothi to worry about.

They were however a bit taken aback that my SO is eleven years my senior.
