lildiamyn_69 answered Friday January 14 2005, 10:42 pm: you should let your mom how you feel and why you feel that way. then ask her for some good reasons why she feels that way about certain people. when the day comes, show your mom that they are your friends and are no different from any of your other race friends. she should respect your point of view, and you should respect hers, so dont argue her down or anything. just try to get your point across.

Your friends are equal to everyone else, and how they look shouldn't determine how much your mom likes them. Just try explaining your opinions to your mom, if she respects you she'll at least try and understand. [ JadedinNowhere's advice column | Ask JadedinNowhere A Question ]
