Teen is ready for sex but isn’t ready to talk to mom
DEAR ABBY: I am 15 and dating a guy I’ll
call Ted. Ted has had sex, but 1 have
not. He says he'll wait until I’m ready.
Well, I’m ready! It’s just that I prom
ised my mother I would wait, and she
knows everything I do. I can’t keep
this from her, but I’m afraid to tell her.
What should I do?
AFRAID TO TELL MOTHER
DEAR AFRAID: Continue to abstain.
If you think you are mature enough to
have sex. you should be adult enough
to talk to your mother about it. You should also
become fully informed about STDs. Call the
Centers for Disease Control’s National STD
toll-free hotline, (8(M)) 227-8922, or visit the
American Social Health Association’s special
Web site for teens at www.iwannaknow.org.
What teens need to know about sex, drugs.
AIDS and getting along with peers and parents
is in my booklet “What Every Teen Should
Know." To order, send a business-sized, self
addressed envelope, plus check or money order
for $5 (U.S. funds) to: Dear Abby Teen
Booklet. P.O Box 447. Mount Morris, IL
61054-0447. (Postage is included in the price.)
The most difficult word to say in the English
language is also one of the shortest. It’s “no."
Yet the inability to say that one simple word can
complicate your life in ways you can’t imagine,
particularly when it comes to sex. So. I repeat
talk to your mother.
DEAR ABBY: I n a senior in high school.
Until recently no guy I’ve ever liked has been
interested in me. One guy I’ve liked for a few
years "Marty" finally asked me for a date.
It's a problem because my friend "Lori" has
liked him a lot longer than I have.
Lori doesn’t know it. but Marty told my
other friend that even though they've hung out

together a few times, he’s not interested in her.
Lori thinks I’m stealing Marty from
Jeanne Phillips
betrayed her. Abby. am I a horrible friend?
CONFUSED IN OREGON
DEAR CONFUSED: No. but as it stands, you
are an ex-friend. I hope he's worth it.
DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend. “Justin," and I
have been together for a little more than a year.
We both work two jobs to support ourselves and
make ends meet. I have student loans to pay off
and so does Justin.
Abby, my birth control costs me S3O every
three months, and sometimes it's difficult to find
the extra money to pay for it We have both
agreed that having children right now would not
be in our best interests.
Would it be too crass to ask Justin to help
pay the cost?
WONDERING IN VERMONT
DEAR WONDERING: Crass? Not at all
Since the birth control is benefiting both of you.
he should share the cost. Put it this way: Tell
him it's time to pony up because of economic
hardship. From my perspective, he's been get
ting a free ride for too long.
PS. Planned Parenthood can provide you and
your boyfriend with affordable birth control. To
locate your nearest Planned Parenthixid office,
call toll-free (800) 230-7526. or log on to
www.plannedparenthood.org.
Under the stars' gaze
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Your agenda is earned out
pretty much as planned, but
events that occur while you're
at a party or on a date will be
surprising! Dress right, and be
ready to meet interesting peo
ple. A Scorpio metaphorically
leads you to water drink!
CANCER (June 22-July
22). Political happenings are
featured. You're adept at play
ing situations to your favor.
Cheerfulness and pleasant
manners will be just the tonic
that heals a strained relation
ship. An Aquarius reminds
you that the best is yet to
come.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You
start out with a strict sched
ule, but it all gets messed up.
Perhaps guests drop by and
it’s impossible not to accom
modate them. It winds up
being a pretty good day any
how. Your life is colorful and
full, just the way you like it.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Compromise is key. If you
are part of a couple, avoid
issuing ultimatums. The more
you can roll with things, the
better your reputation
becomes. Tonight, choose
what is healthy over what is
cheap.
LIBRA (SepL 23-Oct 23).
This day is great if you take
time planning it out. Before
you walk into a room, think
of what your purpose is.
Don't blow time in small talk
while you could be selling an
idea or inspiring the team to
greater productivity.
her, but I’m not. I don’t feel I’m
stealing anybody, and I’m so excit
ed. Am I wrong for wanting to go?
1 think Lori is blowing this
whole thing out of proportion. Does
she have the right to be jealous?
Shouldn’t she be happy for me? I
wasn't jealous when she hung out
with him —1 supported her. But
somehow. I can’t help thinking I’ve
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). You've got standards to
uphold Refuse to submit
work of inferior quality You
know you’re in love when
you voluntarily take up a
partner’s fight that really has
nothing to do with you.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-
Dec. 21). Though you’ve
carefully built your schedule
so that you can do every
thing on your list, the unex
pected will interrupt your
flow. There’s an internal bat
tle featured tonight.
Sometimes, it’s futile to fight
yourself.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-
Jan. 19). When resources
are tight, you get resource
ful. After all. your mind reels
with ideas all the time. Put it
to the task of figuring out
how to solve the shortage.
You can count on Cancer to
tell you the truth.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). You’ll run into a situa
tion where someone who is
“just doing his job" has an
impact on your life. Singles:
Brushing up on musical or
artistic talents is very lucky
for your love life. Couples:
Less structure is more fun
this weekend.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). Read up! In books and
magazines, you’ll find expert
opinions backed by count
less hours of research at your
