the WEEK’S LETTER: I like a boy who is four years older than myself. My mother and father do not like him They say he is too old for me and will only bring me trouble But, really, he’s a very nice boy. 1 like him very much Do you think 1 should ti y to please my parents, or keep liking him (and stay happy). Please answer as soon as possible.” OVIC REPLY; You suggest that you can cease to Like this boy with

’ > । i.i the ease of turning oIT a dripping faucet. Such is not possible If you think this boy is a nic< l>oy, if you like him, you will continue to like him until something happens to make you do otherwise Your parents cannot ‘'make ’ you stop liking anyone You cannot make yourself dislike someone if you ha\e no reason for dis liking them. What you must do is to consider the fact that your parents have !

your best interest at heart and they have a great responsibility and obligation to bring you properly to maturity—to teach, guide, train and, when necessary, to forbid When parents forbid, you must obey Four years is not a great difference where the ages of adults are concerned. Teens are something else. Th>nk about these combinations for a moment: a sixteen year old boy dating a twelve year eld girl; a seventeen year old dating a thirteen year old; eighteen and fourteen; etc. Tht >e combin itions sound much worse than 22 18, 23-19, 24-20, don t , they? Finally, consider this: naturally, it pleases your parents when yoi do the right thing. Why? Be- , cause they feel more certain of your future comfort and well being.
