How would a teenage girl in an interracial relationship tell her parents who do not know and her boyfriend that she is pregnant?

Answer

Just go to your parents and tell them that your're in a relationship with someone of a different race and while you're spilling your guts add the fact that the two of you have created a life together. It'll be easier to just get it over with all at one time. I suggest that you tell the boyfriend first and invite him to be present when you share your news with your parents. They may be upset with you at first, but remember that your parents love you and they really do only want whats best for you. Eventually, they will come around and accept the relationship and your child. They may even like your b/f and I'm sure they will love their grandchild no matter who the father is.

Answer

It's hard if you have totally screwed up parents, but even if they were good parents or meant well, hearing their daughter (assuming you're young) is pregnant is hard for ANY parent.

Why would you want to have the baby if you cannot take care of it and if the father is not a sure bet to stick around?

Say good-bye to a carefree life you once had but the father of the baby may not want to say good bye to his carefree life.

Are you ready to not be educated enough to get any decent job, raise your child is poverty, no health care, or do you plan on dumping off your child on your parents?

Race is really not a factor at the moment, it's are you going to have it, are you prepared for the massive responsibility of a child?

If your parents do not care for the race of the baby's father, you're going to have a rough time but if they are decent, in time they should come around. Your father will probably take it harder than anyone else.

If your family does not have a high income, you are headed for a life of poverty. Odds are you won't be able to finish school or college.

Welfare may soon be a friend of yours and it's not pretty. It's not long term either. Get ready to watch your child go without when other children don't.
