Brig. f trit j j W 9 i 1» 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.
