Teen needs help
in how to say no
By Abigail Van Buren
1977 by The Chicago Tribune N Y News Synd Inc
DEAR ABBY: I’m a 15-year-old girl with lots of friends,
and my problem is that guys are always hassling me
because I don’t want to have sex. Some of my girl friends
say if I don’t do it before I'm 16, I’ll wind up being a lesbian.
I can’t say I’m afraid of getting pregnant because I could
get the Pill or I could use some other method.
Please give me some reasons that they will listen to.
Thank you.
HASSLED
DEAR HASSLED: What’s wrong with the truth? Tell
them you do not want to get into sex now. And please
don't feel that you have to explain or make apologies for
your decision. MANY girls your age and older choose NOT
to indulge in sex because they feel ill-equipped to handle it
emotionally. I say, good for them. The poorest reason for
doing something is because you’re afraid of what others
might think. (P.S. And your friends who say, “If you don’t
have sex before you’re 16, you’ll wind up a lesbian” don’t
know what they’re talking about.)
DEAR ABBY: I saw an ad in a New York newspaper
that read as follows: "Marijuana cannot be sold through
the mails, but ‘grass’ can. Send $5 for a full quarter-ounce.”
I sent a $5 bill together with my name and address, and I
received in return a quarter-ounce of LAWN CLIPPINGS!
This is clearly a fraudulent scheme. How can I get my
money back?
"HAD”: FIRE ISLAND
DEAR HAD: I think you would be wise to write it off as
a “cheap lesson.” Don’t expect to find an honest dealer in a
crooked deal.
DEAR ABBY: Our 14-year-old son is our problem. He
has always been a good boy and a good student, but he is
an introvert. He has no friends and claims he doesn’t want
any.
He is sarcastic and arrogant, shows no affection and
seems to want none.
He could be very good-looking, but over the years he has
gained so much weight he now refuses to weigh himself.
He pretends he doesn’t care how he looks, and he continues
to grow fatter.
We have begged and bribed him, but he doesn’t listen.
He’s an only child, and it’s breaking my heart. Please help
me.
DETROIT
DEAR DETROIT: An obese child is an unhappy child
who is asking for help. He’s built a wall of fat around
himself to keep others from getting close enough to
discover his imperfections (We all have them.) He needs
professional help. Start with your family doctor, and don’t
put it off.
CONFIDENTIAL TO PLEASINGLY PLUMP AT
THE BANK": Your normal weight at age 25 should be
your weight for the rest of your life. How does that grab
you?
