To get him looking right for you, first concentrate on his good points. Compliment all the things he has or does that are already right. Then it's easy to lead into the things that will make him even more so. Appeal to his ego. This works with every male in the world. The important thing is, do it from a positive approach. Don't ever attack the ego; that's suicide. Build it, fortify it, pamper it, cater to it. All you'll ever get back is love. "With your eyes, you should

Here you must know exactly what you want and how far you want to go, because it's up to the girl to set the limits and then make sure that the boy follows the rules. If you're going steady, and each date ends up with a heavy neckingsession, and this is as far as you want to

You want to go someplace. A dance, movie, game, party, whatever. How do you get him to take you? Simple. First, by letting him know (gently) this is what you want. Secondly, by removing any possible obstacles in the way. Test coming up? Help him cram. Doesn't know the crowd? Introduce them. Doesn't dig the stars in the flick? Rave about the plot. Quote the reviews. Thirdly, him how happy it will make you to go. If this isn't enough reward, then offer another one. Like you'll go someplace he wants to the next time. Or bake him a cake.

There's a certain something you want for your birthday. Here we have to hedge. There are no guaranteed ways of getting it. You can try using your girlfriend to tell him, that sometimes is the simplest. You can try light hinting. Some little spark may catch fire. You can hope and pray. But the grooviest men sometimes appear with the gooniest gifts imaginable. But then, the very next time, he'll show up with something so out of sight it will make what you wanted seem like nothing. And you'll adore him all the more for having thought of it and selected it himself. That's really the

So much for the big things in life. Now little ones. Get him to show you the courtesies by showing some to him. Let him know you expect the car door opened for you and help with your coat by telling him so, and show him the same kind of respect by being on time and good manners.

Finally, it's much easier to get him to do what you want to, if every so often, you do what he wants. Give in to his wishes he can only love you for it. It will make him want to do what will please you whenever he can if you show the same sort of loving feeling

Dear Discouraged, He should break his engagement and that has very little to do with you. If he can give one girl a ring, and tell another one he loves her, there is something wrong with him. Let him do whatever he wants, but it shouldn't have any bearing on your life. Get rid of this Romeo.

Worried

Dear Need a Sister, Yours is a very unusual situation, and your letter doesn't explain why your parents seem to favor you over your sister. Usually, the younger sister is complaining about not being able to do all the things the older one does. Try to explain to your sister that your feelings for her are more important to you than getting things she
doesn't have; try to explain her point of view to your mother. The way you signed your letter touched

Dear Worried, Ask him the reason for his coldness. It doesn't sound normal to me. If he doesn't give you a satisfactory answer, drop him.

Dear Samantha, I'm 17 years old and for the last two years have been going steady with this real sweet guy. We broke up 5 months ago, because he wanted to be different and do wild things. He thought too much of me to ask me to put up with it so he broke up with me. Now

YOU'RE MRT OF THE CROWD. THINGS ARE GROOVY. SUDDENLY

SOMEBODY OFFERS YOU A DRINK...

are certain times in a teen's life when something nudges her and says, "You're growing up, girl." These aren't great big things; on the contrary, you'll never remember them as redletter days. But, the first time you tweeze your eyebrows, the first time you wear dress-up stocking on a regular school day, the first time that someone offers you a glass of liquor, you realize that somehow things will never be the same again.

ADRINK...

New chores, new needs, new responsibilities. Let's take drinking. That's a very real problem for many kids. You're part of a crowd; you dig their doings. You may be going around with one of the guys on a pretty steady basis, and maybe it took a little while for this bunch to even notice you. But now you've made it, and you feel pretty good about it. Other kids may be saying that they're a little wild, but so far you're having a ball and couldn't care less. Then comes the night of the really big blast. One of the kids' family is away, and the gang is taking over the house for a real swinging party. The mood is groovy, the music is loud as you like and dance-y, and you think, who could want anything more?i The unhappy answer to that one is that a couple of the kids (most likely the fellas) think getting a little high on alcohol will really make things take off. Unfortunately their chicks are willing to go along with anything their guys say, and before you know it, there's a glass of awful-smelling brown liquid shoved into your unsteady little hand. You stand there. Going through your head are the warnings your parents have leveled at you against drinking. Or even if they haven't, you know in your own wig that this isn't right. But the whole gang is watching, some of the other chicks are

This isn't to say that drinking is all bad; there are many adults who enjoy a cocktail before dinner or in the evening or at parties who are in no danger of becoming drunks. But these are the ones who have learned to handle the stuff. You can be very sure they

already gulping and giggling, and you're still standing there confused enough already without having taken a drop. There are your friends, egging you on to do something you don't want to do, that you know isn't right for you. What do you do? You certainly don't want to lose the acceptance that you've won from these kids, or that warm glow of belonging that was cuddling you so nicely until a few minutes ago. Where to turn ? The smoothest solution is right at hand. Let your guy know that this is a time when you want to be alone with him, as alone as the two of you can get. If it's outside the house, good. In another room, good too. If there is no place else to go, take the furthest, quietest corner of the room you're in. If you're really cool about it, you can make this little departure seem like the height of sophistication to any of the onlookers who are still watching you. Once you get your guy to where you can talk privately drop all pretense and lay it on the
line.

Let him know that you don't want to drink, don't think it's necessary to be looking for trouble, above all, that you are grooved enough just being with him not to need any additional stimulation. If he can't dig this, and tries to bully you into taking a swig, then this isn't the guy for you, and you might as well face it now. He isn't man enough or strong enough or smart enough to take care of you. Drop him and the crowd. If they can't get their kicks naturally, then sooner or later there's gonna be trouble. The kind of trouble you don't

At this time of your life, you're too busy learnmany other things to be conquering Your growing, developing body is too busy going through its changes to be forced to learn how much, if any, liquor it can safely absorb. Everybody must know by now that drinking and driving don't mix. If there were no other reason, the time that most kids spend in cars would be enough to rule out teen drinking. This isn't even a situation where we can point out the pros and cons. There are no advantages to be gained by your drinking, and the disadvantages range from the embarrassment of getting sick and throwing up (in public; are you ready for that? to the potential of a fatal accident. It's possible) That means death, plain and simple. Are you ready to risk that? More accidents are caused by drinking than anything else; more teens get involved in accidents than any other age group. Fight that, baby. If the crowd says you're nowhere for not drinking, then that's a safe place to be. And then how much fun would you have with a crowd that depended on liquor for its kicks, anyway? What do they do when they can't get to a bottle? Dry out and give up? Whatever makes for fun will make it without the alcohol or it's no real groove to begin with. If they insist, find other friends. If you think you still want them for friends, be blunt with 'em. Tell them they can take you as you are, or let you be. If they can't buy that, then they weren't really any kind of friends to begin with. After all, even confirmed alcoholics have nondrinking pals.

him, and he is probably more up-to-date about such matters as he deals with them constantly. What a doctor will do for you is hard to say. The reasons

North Carolina
Dear J.G., Your best bet would be to get some dieting advice. The kind that puts weight on, naturally. A doctor might recommend taking a supplement between meals. These don't taste bad, and could add as much as 1200 calories per day. There might also be some body-building exercises that he knows. Your phys ed teacher or school nurse could check your posture and see if that is proper. If not, they'll show you the correct way to sit, stand and walk so that your body carries its bones to the best advantage.

Maybe after learning the right stances you'll find that your hipbones do not jut as much as they did. Make sure you are wearing the most flattering kinds of clothes, too. Avoid vertical stripes and very large patterns. Select the heavy, bulky fabrics that are so attractive, but murder for heavier girls. Above all, make sure that you are not slouching or developing any other harmful, unsightly habits that you may think minimize your problem, but actually emphasize it.

months, and at the age of 16, you do not know enough about men in general and this one in particular to know whether you should spend the rest of your life with him. From your letter, it is a little difficult for me to judge whether you have chosen to write to me because I am a nurse, and you are seeking medical advice for your problem, or it is an answer to your emotions that you want. Medically, I will not advise you, because I do not believe it would serve your best interests to do so. In five months, you two have reached the peak of your emotional feelings, and I sincerely believe that if you go any further with this boy, "all the way," as you put it, your relationship can only go downhill. On the other hand, trying to stay at the peak without going any further is a very difficult thing to do, but the only thing, I think, in your case. It is a severe test of your love, that's true, but realize that your love does need strenuous testing at this point to see if it is the real thing, a tremendous infatuation (which often feels the same as love, but isn't it), or even an unconscious desire to force yourself into a situation which will compel you to achieve sexual experience without, you think, any of the guilt you would feel if you were being merely promiscuous. You are entirely too young to get married, so ask yourself very honestly how do you want to spend the next two years. I might even suggest you have a trial separation to find out how well you can live without one another. I realize all of this can only sound terribly cruel to you, but better a broken romance than a broken life. I do know of young couples who went steady for several years, waiting to marry, and it turned out well. On the other hand you may fall in love three more times in the next two years. Do something that will force you to marry soon, and I predict much sorrow for you. Use the two years to test and see and make your plans, and everything may turn out beautifully for the two of you. I hope it does, dear.

new-fallen snow crunched under my boots The as I went up the path to Dina's house. It wasn't

her house, really, but she and Jeff rented the upstairs apartment; they'd lived there ever since they'd left school to get married in their third year of high school. I felt a little guilty when I realized how long it had been since I'd visited Dina. Funny, but once one of your friends gets married, she's in a different world.

I would have said more but just then the phone rang and Dina answered it. "Yes Oh, Jeff where are you?" She listened and then her mouth trembled and her eyes looked so sad it made me want to cry. "Jeff, you promisedyes, I know but ." She listened to what he Jeff, you promised had to say and then she said. "All right, I'll wait up for you. No, I want to honest I do."

Then I reminded myself that in a few days, I'd be a married woman, too. 16 and married I'd be Mrs. Glenn Carson. Just the name was enough to send a little shiver of excitement through me. Glenn, with his unruly dark hair and those brown eyes that flipped me every time he looked at me.

After she hung up she tried to make cheerful small talk but finally I said, "What's wrong, Dina" "Jeff went out to the tavern," she said. "He was only going to get a few beers- said he had to get out of here and relax away from me and the baby. Now he he'll be gone all evening." "I thought he was going to nightschcol," I said.

I went up the outside steps and rang the bell of Dina's apartmnt. Sure the house was shabby and her apartment was small but, with Jeff working at the check-counter in the supermarket, they couldn't afford a split-level, could they? The important thing was that they were together, free to do as they pleased, without rules or curfews or any' of those things that made Glenn and me so mis-

"Hi, Kim," Dina said, opening the door. I had to take a good look before I even recognized her. Gosh, she'd changed. I mean back at Stanton High, Dina had been one of the prettiest girls in our class, her blonde hair always smooth and shining, her miniskirts the shortest and the brightest. Now her hair was lank and stringy and she looked tired; she wore the kind of cotton housedress my always wore and there was a run in her nylons. From the bedroom, I could hear Nicky, her baby, crying.

But all at once I felt a cold stirring of doubt. What if he didn't. What if we ended up like Dina and Jeff. Dina was asking me about the Snow Ball, our big winter dance, which would be held next month. I'd had a good chance of being chosen queen but

nownow I wouldn't be going. Well what of it? That wasn't important; it was kid stuff and I was going to be a married woman.
Dina, with a far-away look in her eyes, was saying "I wish I were going. I'd like to put on a blue dress with a full skirt and dance and dance all night and ..." I looked at her face and I saw all the longing there for the lost years, the years that would never be hers.

"Are you going on a skiing weekend?" she why you need the overnight case?" I shook my head. I had to tell somebody or I'd explode and Dina, of all people, would understand and be happy for me. "Glenn and I Dina, we're going to run away and get married. Just like you 'and Jeff did." If I'd expected any congratulations, I was sure disappointed. "Why, Kim?" Dina asked.

We talked a little longer and then I said goodnight and went out into the clear, snowy evening. It wouldn't be easy telling Glenn I'd changed my mind, and maybe he'd never understand why I had, but if our love was real and strong, it would
