What to do about people making fun of me?

I had my first child when I was 15, she's a beautiful black girl. (I'm white) Her dad left after she was a year old because he found out I was pregnant with my second black child. Ever since I had my second black baby my friends and family started making fun of me.. What do I do?

    Unfortunately, you can't force people to think or feel a certain way. The only person's emotions you can control is yours. You will probably have to always deal with their comments and jibes, but the less you react to them the less interesting their little game will be to them.

    Understand that their problem with your children is THEIR problem, not yours. You love your children. You don't see them as different or defective, because they aren't. They are beautiful and special just like you.

    God bless you for having the courage to give birth to and raise these children. They are so lucky to have a brave and wonderful person for a mother. You keep your head up. You are a hero to these children and to God.

    My only criticism is that I think that it's time for you to stop having children and to focus your time and energy on raising your children. I think you have your hands full enough as it is.

    So, whenever your friends and family starts picking on you remind them that you didn't choose to abort them. That you chose to love them, and that you are willing to do the same for them despite their ugly ways.

    I pray you find joy and happiness in your future. You deserve it.

    Brave steps. No one can fault you for that. Raising two children is heroic in todays world. I hope you find happiness and accept the fact your chosen. This person who walked out on you has no faith and no courage. Often times the ones who hurt us are those closest. I believe this trial will turn to gold. Use wisdom and make a few lifestyle changes. Find a qualified person to be with. One who shares your passion for living love of children and has a heart of faith and courage to raise these gifts from God.

    Put yourself on birth control so you stop having (black or white) babies at such young age, and focus on how to support yourself and the children that you've given birth to. When your family sees you're serious about your life goals they'll stop making fun of you and take you seriously.

    Ignore them they aren't worth it but it's good seeing interracial love spread around.
