            I ran home as fast as I could. My mother was hurt when I told her what happened but said she agreed. I just don’t understand how someone could be so cruel. How could anyone tell someone that they will never fit in. She told me I don’t belong with her son. Maybe she’s right. I can’t  handle this pressure anymore. I love John but I think things need to end. What’s the point going through life trying to change everyone’s mind? It’s 2013 and I still have to deal with the constant put down of skin tone. It’s not even about status no more, at least not this situation. It seems like every boyfriend I have their family saw fault with me. She can be black but she has to be rich. She can be rich but she can’t be black. What’s the point of even trying anymore? Things never work out.
