Ok so here's the thing: I met my boyfriend online (hes tolally legit no worries) and he and I talk all the time. We're really close! The problem is that I live in Indiana and he lives in New York. Plus he's hispanic and I'm white. I'm scared to tell my parents... what do I do?? :confused:

How are you "really close"?

If he's "totally legit", why are you afraid to tell your parents?

We talk about everything... my parents are very racist

Have you met him in real life?

Well you have at least another three years to decide how you want to proceed.

'Dating' online long distance for the next three years until you can support yourself and make your own decisions will tell you what kind of future you have.

Until then enjoy getting to know each other online and online it doesn't matter what his race is. If you make it the three years you will have a lot of a relationship built for your parents to object to and it will be your life. Until you are eighteen, parents make the rules.

It sounds like he's a phone buddy, not necessarily a boyfriend.

I find it commendable that you have not adopted your parents' racist ways.
