Abigail Van Buren

Preteens need to know sex is not child’s play DEAR ABBY: My 11-year-old daughter (I’ll call her Cindy) just told me that her girlfriend (I’ll call her Debbie) told her that she and her boyfriend had had sex. Debbie and her boyfriend are both 11 years old! Debbie made Cindy promise not to tell anybody, so I had to swear on my honor that I wouldn’t say or do anything about this. Abby, I’m afraid not to do anything about it, but if I break my promise to my daughter and she finds out about it, it will ruin the wonderful, close mother-daughter relationship we have always had. I don’t know what to do. Cindy told me the boy’s name. If I send it to you, will you intervene? Or should I make an anonymous telephone call to the kids’ school or to the police and let them deal with this? SMALL TOWN, U.S.A. DEAR SMALL TOWN: This is not the business of the school or the police; it’s the business of Debbie’s and her boyfriend’s parents. Assuming that what your daughter told you is true, punishment is not the solution. Education is. Debbie and her boyfriend need to realize that sex is not all fun and games; along with sex should be commitment and responsibility far beyond the intellectual and financial capabilities of two 11-year-olds. Since you and your daughter enjoy such a close relationship, urge her to try to persuade Debbie to confide in her own mother or even in you if she can’t bring herself to discuss this with her mother. She needs an adult friend she can talk to. And so does her boyfriend. Anyone who doubts that two 11-year-olds can produce a baby, or contract a venereal disease, should get in touch with the nearest United Way or family planning clinic.. Regrettably, it can and does happen. * * * DEAR ABBY: I want to clear up a common misconception that has resulted in many painful feelings. My best friend is 17 years old. She’s pretty and popular, and she’s worn a pacemaker for two years that I know of. Until people get to know her, they make rude comments like, “My grandfather has one of those what’s wrong with you? I thought they were only for old people.” This has caused a great deal of pain for my friend. I just wish you’d tell people that pacemakers aren’t such a horrible thing. My friend is able to run, dance, swim and do everything I can do. Abby, please set the record straight and encourage people to be more understanding of this heart condition. A FRIEND IN PITTSBURGH DEAR FRIEND: Thanks for giving me this opportunity to state that anyone who has a heart is old enough to have a heart problem. And thanks to the advances in medical science and technology, we now have that modern miracle the pacemaker.

Heloise

Plastic webbing can childproof balcony Q. My young granddaughter is coming to visit me for a month while her parents are vacationing. I have moved into a second-story apartment since her last visit and am concerned that she may try to squeeze through the balcony railing even though the space is very small. Children are so curious. Is there anything I can do to help childproof the balcony so that I can feel more at ease? Helen D., Jacksonville, Ha. A. Check a local garden store for heavy plastic webbing. It is packaged in rolls for use in repairing lawn chairs. Buy the widest available and weave the webbing in and out of the railing bars until it is completely enclosed. Secure the ends and make sure the webbing is close together and strung tightly. After completion, check by pushing on it. If it is not strong and tight, adjust accordingly. This hint is not meant to replace adult supervision, as a determined child may still be able to get through the plastic and rails.

ONE MAN'S FAITH...

The year was 1492. Most of Europe's population believed the world to be flat. Dangerous monsters and hideous creatures were said to lie in wait in unexplored seas and foreign lands. Yet one brave man, Christopher Columbus, had faith that he could conquer those fearful challenges and reach the West Indies. After six years of waiting, he convinced Queen Isabella of Spain to finance his expedition, and following two difficult months of seas, although he did not reach the Indies, he discovered the land which would later be known as America. It must have taken tremendous courage and faith for Columbus to remain true to his dream in spite of fear and discouragement. As in Columbus’ time, we may find it difficult to remain true to our convictions in the face of disappointment and temptations. Yet, let us remember, as we celebrate Columbus Day, the importance of the impact of one man’s faith. As we worship this week, may we pray for strength and guidance as we encounter unforeseen challenges in our lives.
