JANE JORDAN

DEAR JANE JORDAN—I am a girl of 17, writing to you about a boy of 18. I like him very much but as the situation is I cannot have dates, so he goes out with other girls. At the present he is going with a girl I know. When he is with me he acts as though he liked me very much and he doesn’t ever jgnore me. The reason he doesn’t care more for me is, I think, that I can’t go out with kim. He lives about a block from my house and I see him often. Do you think I am too young to care for him, or am I wasting my time because of him. Please advise me what to do. PUZZLED. Answer—Nothing could be more normal or natural than that a 17-year-old girl should be attracted to the boys. If she isn’t, something has gone wrong with her development and her parents should be worried. Nature intended her to be drawn to the opposite sex, and parents who frustrate this natural urge do their daughters an injustice. To keep a grown girl away from boys is to keep her in an infantile position long after she has outgrown it. One might as well expect the girl to stay on a milk diet all her life, or to wear pinafores d play with dolls. Parents believe that they are protecting a girl when they hide her from men, but in reality they incur a much greater risk when they fly in the face of nature which has devious methods of revenging herself on those who attempt to thwart her. Girls who understand their own natures do not take their first attachment to a boy too seriously. They know it will pass to be replaced by more of the same feeling for some other boy and so on until they are mature enough to make a permanent choice. That girl is fortunate whose parents have encouraged her to form friendships with boys during childhoed and adolescence. She has a background of experience upon which to form her judgments of men. She isn't so easily taken in by her own confused emotions or so easily deceived by the first boy who flatters her. All I know for you to do is to bring a slow, steady pressure to pear upon your parents to permit you to have dates as other girls do. Try to convince them that you are a young lady and not a child. Perhaps youre too passive and obedient, and your parents do not realizé what all this means to you. If you would speak up and reason with them, you might.get them to see things your

y. It is a fact that parents will enforce their will upon a passive child much longer than upon a spirited child who makes them uncomfortable when opposed. At least you have a right to put up a struggle against being kept in the nursery when you are 17 years old and should be getting some practice in handling boys. JANE JORDAN,
