Smith When A Girl ShovM Knew Better He told them that he loved them, _ T CAN-T UP WITH / —^ «£* *0 ft V. /* • 4 1 •« • t .1 THE WEEK’S LETTER: “I am a girl of sixteen and am going out with this boy whom I like very much. But I am afraid that he doesn’t like me, because he is used to going out with a different giT’ every day. I would not mind if I could break up with him. I can’t. I am no longer a girl but a young woman of sixteen—and he says that he wants to marry me. f don’t want to run away to marry him until I am sure that re loves me He has run away before, with other girls, and he leaves them. I don’t want the same thing to happen to me!” OUR REPLY: If you don’t want the same thing to happen to you— leave him before he leaves you. You can break up with him, if you really want to help yourself. And, there’s no other way. Consider this fact: if he loved you, he would not be interested in going out with a different girl every day. Think of the girls before you or they would not have considered running away with him. If you did not know that he had run away with other girls before— and then left them, there might be some excuse for saying you can’t “break” with him. But you do know it—and you should profit from this knowledge by making certain that it doesn’t happen to you. Running away tc get married is the wrong thing to do under any circumstances. When you “run away,” you give evidence of the fact that you feel you are making a mistake, whether or not you have somewhat convinced your self that “everything will work out.” The excuse, “I can’t help my self” is not enough. Any teenager with a problem can help himself or herself by always facing up to the truth—and by not being too proud to seek help from an inter ested mother, father, or minister.
