writes:I'm Jewish, but I'm not into my religion as much as my mom is. My mom wants me to date a nice Jewish boy but all my friends are different religions. To top it off, there are NO Jewish boys here! We have had arguments on this topic before and she knows how I feel about it, but we can't come to a compromise on it. I don't want this to get in the way of a relationship, so how can I get my mom to let me date a boy of whatever religion? Reply to this Question

Sadly you can't just get your mother to change her mind. She is obviously well into her own ways. However, as there are no Jewish boys there it's going to be difficult. At this time, you can't make her change her mind. All you really need to remember is that at some point in the near future, you will reach an age where you can make your own decisions. Stay focused on that.

I always think less of people that want to exclude everyone else and feel terrible for you. Your mum just needs to see that other boys will be great for you to be with. Im sure she will come around
