Ronald Schmitt, FBLA Calling Colleen Must Parents Choose Daughter's Boyfriends? BY COLLEEN DUDGEON I have a problem with a guy I like very much My parents don't like him because he has long hair to his shoulders and he used to smoke p«t; Now, he says he's going to change. I want to continue dating him no matter if he changes or not. but my parents have told me to forget him The guy. who I'll call Jim. has always been good to me. 1 don't think my parents should have any say in what 1 do but because 1 live with them, it's 'going to be pretty hard to go against their wishes I'm 18 and my boyfriend is 20 Upset Dear Upset: You are old enough to make your own decisions about the people you do things with. However, since your parents must still be supporting you. it might be wise to evaluate their wish that you stop seeing Jim I don't see anything wrong with long hair for young men and hopefully your parents are in tune with the times enough to know that long hair doesn't sig­ nify a "dirty" guy. If you don't think that your parents reasons are solid, then sit down and ask them to outline their reasons for you. Perhaps you can convince them the relationship is good for you, if indeed it is. I have a problem in getting boyfriends. I'm nineteen years old and you could say I have a weight problem I'm sort of on the heavy side. I've met a few guys that I like, but it seems like they don't take much interest in me. They talk to me, but that's as far as it goes. My parents told me it could be because I'm heavy. I hope it isn't because of that What can I do9 Lonesome Dear Lonesome: Sounds like you might be afraid to face the fact that obesity is usually a real turn-off for guys. Stop and think about it for a minute -- you write that your parents say your problem could be due to your weight, but you don't say anything about how you think the problem is caused. One thing is certain -- you won't lose the weight until you. yourself, have decided it is a problem. Good luck! I live by myself in a large a- partment building. The apart­ ments are well guarded by se­ curity officers and everyone who enters is checked. I'm wor­ ried that one of my neighbors is a bit weird but I can't really confirm my suspicions. I don't want to alarm anyone else unless I can get positive proof. This man lives four doors down the hall from me and it seems like he's always looking out his door whenever I come in or leave the building. I know you could say that this is just coincidence, but I don't think so. I have never seen this man in the elevator, in the laundry room or social areas of the building. I have checked with the people who live near me and Food Safety Habits Make it a habit to use good food-handling practices ---from the store to the kitchen to the table--advises the Food and Drug Admin­ istration. Your best insurance against foodborne disease is to refrigerate or cook foods correctly. 1" w wwnw«^>rir>rir |nf>r |nnfwiaryinnfin| ! Twice Told Tales ibcoeooooooopoooooooopnoooooooooooooooooooool faculty advisor at McHenry, expressed pleasure with his students' performances, and noted the hard work that has' been put in to finance the trip to Springfield. "Through their money- making activities of candy sales, bake sales, bus washes, and operating a school store, they have raised $200 to pay for most of their expenses in Springfield," Schmitt said. "I feel this has been a very suc­ cessful year, which is a tribute to the members." nobody knows this man's name. I hate to have these suspicions, and I do think this man ought to be given the benefit of the doubt. How do I go about finding out about him without jeopardizing my reputation or his? 007 Dear 007: » If the man is bothering you simply by opening his door, I'd hate to see you in a city park! Seriously, however, it might be wise to check with the apartment manager about your neighbor The manager will be able to set your mind at rest, or if there is something fishy, the manager will be qualified to handle it through the proper channels.
