LOUISA’S LETTER

Dear Louisa, I am a girl of sixteen and a boy in my class at school has asked me to go steady. A good many of my friends are going steady but 1 think it is because they always want to be sure of having a date for any of the school parties but 1 have always had someone to ask me.

The boy can always get out and try to find someone else if he gets tired of the arrangement. On the other hand ft is not such a good idea for girls and boys as young as you are to be together too much. When people get too familiar with each other they begin to think of marriage or intimacy without marriage both of which spell trouble for teenagers. So put the blame on your mother and tell your friend that while you enjoy going with him you will have to respect your mother's wish and not go steady. Louisa.
