The one bad thing about emails or text messages, is often people on the other end can interpret them wrong. However, some people are more open when it comes to writing. I know I can write a letter a whole bunch better than I can verbally say things, especially when I am scared or hurt.

You do what you feel is right.

I dont think you should text or email ... people deserve to hear things directly in my experience.

I dont see my dad that often and when i rang to tell him it went a little like this

"dad ive got something to tell you"
"i know what your gona say"
"so say it then"
"no you say it"
"im pregnant"

Well said! If somebody prefers one way over another you should respect their preferences. Good job telling your father, see sometimes it isn't as difficult as it seems! Like I'm one to talk, I got my grandma to tell my dad.
