Teenager gets grounded for sky-high phone bill
DEAR ABBY: My 13-year-old daughter,
“Karen,” met a boy on the Internet. I
guess she felt she needed to talk to
him because she called him on the
telephone. Unfortunately, he lives in
Spain, and she ran up an $l,lOO
phone bill. Karen had no idea it cost
that much to call him, and of course
she didn’t ask for my permission.
I grounded Karen until she works
off the debt, which will probably
take six months. I also took away her
phone and Internet privileges and made her
quit the school volleyball team.
Karen has ADHD, so we’ve had some
problems with her in the past. I don’t want to
overreact and make her rebel or run away like
I did when I was her age. What I do want is to
teach her responsibility. What do you think?
UNHAPPY MOM IN OHIO
DEAR UNHAPPY: I don’t blame you for
being angry, but you have gone a little over
board. It’s time to reconsider the multiple
punishments you’ve levied on your daughter.
You say you don’t want to overreact or make
her rebel. Yet you have cut off her contact
with the outside world no phone, no
Internet, no sports. I agree she should pay at
least part of the phone bill, but as she does,
you should gradually reinstate her privileges.
DEAR ABBY: You dispensed some wonder
ful advice in your Thanksgiving Day column.
You wrote, “If you’re feeling down and want
an instant ‘upper,’ the surest way ... is to do
something nice for someone else.” I’d like to
echo your sentiments and encourage your
readers to keep the doldrums at bay by volun
teering.

ents of service, but often the volunteer feels

Hi..
Joyce Jillson
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY
(December 17). You’re
adored by many this year.
Start planning now for a
dream journey. Career
prospects are super now, but
next month is even more
lucrative. You’ll get a break
and be able to sock some
money away for your goal.
You’ll be changing your ideas
about who you want to be,
and that reflects in your sur
roundings with a renovation
in May. Your lucky numbers
are: 2, 11, 33,40 and 28.
ARIES (March 21-April
19) A co-worker may force
your hand, but later, you’ll be
glad everything is on the
table. You know that hiding
out is a behavior that
exhausts your resources.
Over time, such a habit can
make you feel clinically
depressed.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20) How to make the big sale
at work: 1) disconnect your
self from the outcome, 2) be
genuinely in love with your
product or service, 3) believe
on the deepest level that you
deserve the commission.

importance of teamwork, teaches kids empa
thy, respect, friendliness and tolerance, and
creates a new generation of dedicated volun
teers.
Please encourage your readers who might
be dreading this holiday season to volunteer.
Giving to others is the best way to nourish
your own spirit.
ROBERT K. GOODWIN, PRESIDENT
AND CEO, POINTS OF LIGHT FOUN-
DATION
DEAR ROBERT: Thanks for an inspiring
reminder that the surest way to forget your
own troubles is to do something nice for those
less fortunate. The adrenaline rush you’ll get
is more powerful than speed, and the “high”
is perfectly legal. Everyone has something to
give, and the most precious gift isn’t money
it’s time.
Readers, to find projects in your local
communities or wherever you spend your hol
iday vacations, call toll-free (800) 865-8683
and enter your ZIP Code, or visit www. 1 -800-
Volunteer.org.
Families can find project ideas, activities for
kids and other helpful resources by exploring
the Web site. Since the holiday season is upon
us, don’t procrastinate. Reach out and grab
the opportunity to help someone.
Under the stars ’ gaze
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
You might catch yourself
evaluating partnerships for
their productivity and useful
ness. Stop it! There are many
levels to even casual relation
ships. If the bottom line does
n’t add up to anything
impressive, other “lines” do.
CANCER (June 22-July
22). You know what and who
you want. Don’t wait any
longer. Expansion is favored
now. Contracts are revised to
fit growing needs and chang
ing expectations. Some of
you will even pop the ques
tion, too eager to wait.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You
ascribe to creative theories
about moneymaking and
could cause some waves with
those from the old school.
For you, it’s all about public
relations now. Put your style
imprint on all you do.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
The human touch can’t be
underrated today. If you are
part of a couple, there’s
happy satisfaction in touching
each other a lot. If single,
making sure there is enough
casual, affectionate human
contact is of utmost impor
tance.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
You’re always pleased when
life turns out to be fair, which
happens in regard to your
career now. Pay is commen
surate with an increase in
your skill level. When you
master the fundamentals,
your job will become effort
less.
connection, boosts spirits, com
bats stress and builds stronger
communities.
According to the most recent
study by the Points of Light
Foundation and Indiana Uni
versity, respondents said that vol
unteering as a family improves
communication, promotes posi
tive values, emphasizes the
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). On this invigorating day,
think about places and
groups you could get
involved in. What possible
social contacts are you not
exploring fully? Quick fixes
and impulsive activities are
tempting, but not the best
focus.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-
Dec. 21). Obstacles on your
career path can be overcome
with a little more strength
and agility and a lot more
stamina. Concentrate on
doing what you do well.
Others lend their expertise to
your mix.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-
Jan. 19). There’s no time to
move that mountain in front
of you. You can only adapt
by blazing a trail around it.
Here’s why you’ll be effec
tive: You understand that if
your world is to change, you
must change.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). When you see the
opportunity, snag it. If you
don’t see it, a Capricorn or
Leo will. If this person is on
your side, he or she will
(likely) point out the gem
that is just waiting to be
claimed once.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). Day by day, you lay the
groundwork for more securi
ty and less stress. Describe
yourself as succeeding right
now in the present. Designate
the responsibility of basic
duties to a youngster who
needs to feel included.
