Pag* Eighteen THE McHENRY PtAINDEALER iw UNDER 21 A column for teen-agers By Dan Halligan DEAR DAN: My friend and I are 14 years old and we wanted to attend the Ware Bicentennial Dance which comes but once in our lifetime but our parents said we were too young. My mother reads your column and usually agrees with you but still, we want to know your opinion. -- Very Unhappy. DEAR V.H.: Mothers usually know what's best for their daughters and I'm sure your mothers gave careful consideration to your request before saying no. DEAR DAN: What is a girl supposed to do- when her parents say she can attend the weekly teen dances but also stipulate that she has to have an adult bring her home? That's the situation I'm in. My girl friends and I walk to the dance, w^ich is about eight blocks from where I live, but I have to get a ride home with an adult and I can't always do that. There's always at least one boy willing to give a girl a ride home after the dance but Mom won't let me ride with any teen-agers. She won't come after me and neither will Dad. Most of my friends are allowed to ride in cars with boys and their parents see no need of playing watch dog. I think this is very unfair, don't you? -- Barbara. DEAR BARBARA: It's not unfair of your mother wanting you to ride with an aditft driver only because many parents feel the same way. The unfairness comes into the pieture when your parents Refuse to help out in this situation. If a half dozen of you girls' run around together, why couldn't the six fathers each take turns in bringing you girls home? That would mean your father would only have to once every six weeks and if your father can't do that much, he's very unfair. This would be different if you weren't allowed to go to the dances but because your parents have given you the green light, they should cooperate a little further. DEAR DAN: My best friend smokes with his parents' consent but now I've been told I can't go around with him anymore. My father says it doesn't look right for a 16-yearold boy to smoke and as long as my friend does, I can't pal around with him. Times have changed since my father was a teen-ager and 16-year-olds smoking in public is accepted. Isn't that right? -- Buddy's Friend. DEAR B. F.: Sixteen-year-olds smoking in public may be accepted but usually only by 16-year-olds. I don't approve of kids of that aage smoking, I never have and I never will. Don't blame your father for your problem but put the blame right where It belongs -- on your friend. If he doesn't know, tell him about the orders you've received from the home front. Then it will be up to him to make the big choice -- either you or the cigarettes. If he chooses the smokes, consider yourself lucky in finding out just how you rated with the guy. DEAR DAN: If a boy asks a girl to ride home with him f[om roller rink, is he obligated to buy her some lunch?-- Wondering. ?.E^R WONDERING: He's not obligated but he wouldn t be wrong in asking the girl about some refreshments.
