speak for lot of teenagers who ont have the guts to write Im 14yearold who smokes pot drinks beer and whiskey and does other drugs For some reason the rest of the world considers us scum and they treat us that way Adults think kids get high to be cool and go along with the rest of the gang WRONG We get high because we want to No one holds gun to our heads and makes us do it Ive been smoking pot since was 12 smoked cigarettes four years before that quit smoking because found out it was medical fact that smoking tobacco was more dan gerous to your health than smoking pot So leave us poth cads alone and worry about yourselves think the jocks have more of problem than we do Itidin Illgh Dear Itidin High Better put on your crash helmet youre heading for fall And when it happens we squares are the ones who will pick you up and try to put you back together As to why you get spacy it doesnt matter whether it was peer pressure or your own personal decision The results are the same Fried brains nerves shot motivation nil years wasted find it interesting that you quit smoking cigarettes because you learned they were bad for your health Please look into whiskey and those other drugs you are doing Angel dust Coeaine Hash Acid Uppers and downers Maybe these wont give you lung cencer but they can do an enor mous amount of physical and emotional damage Angel dust can kill youevor make you kill yourself Stop being such wise guy and go to the nearest drug abuse centre andget educated before you end up ODd in morgue Dear Ann Landers identified with the girl who feels hu miliated because shes fat too am eating myself sick 10f ten cry and hate myself for my lack of will power feel pow erless lonesome and depressed But agree with you dont deserve pity and dont want it Five years ago was in the same spot shes in now looked like baby hippo and kept eating everything that didnt bite me first It took me two years to control my mouth Finally shed all those unwated pounds So many Im ashamed to tell you the exact number Six months ago left the country and was separated from friends and relatives started to eat again and gained everything back feel horrible and worthless but Im ready to get trim once againw and Im determined to do it realize need psychiatric help and Im getting it It ex pect it to take longer this time but Im not discouraged know Ill reach my goal So once more Ann thank you for refusing to feel sorry for us fatties Sometimes we need some needling to get going and you gave it to me but good Fat But Hopeful Dear Hopeful Your approach is sensible You arent going in for any of those kooky diets Youre getting professional help Im betting this time youll stay slim permanently Cheers Doctor Game Pregnant teens now menace Hy DR GIFFURILJONES Winston Churchill once said Never never never give up lts sound advice if you have strong views about an im portant issue Thats why Ive changed generals to fight growing menace for parents and this country hope that Health Minister Monique Begin will see the wisdom of this attack This is not the time to slice federal funds for family phnnnng Why Because theres oneinten chance your teenage girl will become pregnant this year That means youll face the choice of abortion high obstetrical risks or the care of anillegitiinate child In 1978 lost one battle by narrow margin suggested that NaiXileons imaginative military mind would win war against 40000 teenage pregnancies every year Hed make his best weapon the birth control pill available without prescription Too many teenagers are pregnant for fear of asking for this contraceptive Or because their prescriptions nin out theyre afraid the doctor would inform parents READERS DISAGREED But slight majority of readers disagreed with handling the pill like gum balls Many thundered that was pro moting promiscuity nation of syphlitic morons and that needed holiday to restore my senses They also reminded me that Napoleon was eventually loser Like an elephant Ive never forgotten my retreat No Im launching new attack with proven winner Wellington This British general was master of preparation and in variably did his homework before battle Thats why he would direct an attack against the hidden foe the ones who continually sabotaged his efforts and aided the enemy think hed bluntly tell adults to clean up their own act For years theyve been profitecring from selling cheap sex Theyve bombarded teenagers with sexuality on television in songs and in magazines Their generation has been pro grammed to believe you can sell anything from soap to cars with sex Adults have been giving teenagers sex education but its been the wrong kind BLAMES ADVERTISING aii you blame teenagers for finding it difficult to separate fact from fiction Just consider home magazines that sell ads such as the makeup that lets girl go as far as she wants or being close was never nicer with feminine deodorant spray No wonder teenagers become sexually oriented prematurely with all this promotion Wellington might blast the older generation for other er rors the vocal minority which condemns sex education in the schools others who allow them to block this progressive move He would remind parents that 50 per cent of teenage mothers learn sex from girl friends 25 per cent from boys 20 per cent from teachers and five er cent from parents Ile might also stress the risk of efeat His research would reveal that teenage girls who become pregnant face increas ed obstetrical hazards Due to smaller bony pelvis theres ta greater risk of aesareaii section larger number develop toxemia of pregnancy due to excessive weight gain They have more prolonged labor lacerations of the birth canal and premature babies Moreover these babies do not fare as well during the first year of life For example the babies of girls I5 years of age have 24 times greater chance of dying than those of older mothers HlDGEISIASIIED What about the cost of the war The hero of Waterloo Would be dumbfounded by the naive thinking of politicians They argue theres no money Thats why theyve slashed the budget of Planned Parenthood from 21 million to 11 million in 1079 But Wellingtons homework would pose blunt question If funds are so scarce Iiow can one province Newfoundland afford to pay nearly $5 million to unwed mothers in one year And how can ttawa give $2000 million for family and youth ssista iicc Finally the conqueror of Napoleon might suggest some strategy Hed remind politicians that the USA has allocated $190 million to fight the million teenage pregnan eies that occur year after year in that country That British study in 1072 calculated that $1 spent on prevention saves $128 later in welfare costs for the illegitimate child That the millions spent on abortions welfare payments to teenage mothers and the protection of abused children has not solved the problem Rather it was accelerating the tragedy It could eventually bring social and economic chaos to Canada Wellington would refuse to conduct battle he knew Would end in defeat Politicians would have two choices Hed either receive more locational weapons to annihilate the enemy Or they could appoint someone else Hopefully Moni que Hegin prefers victorious generals
