Mr. J. H. Our daughter
should move to the city.
Mr. J. R. Iff dangeroui.
Mn. J. R. My husband and
I are having a serious dispute
about our 18-year-old daughter,
Eileen.
Most of Eileen's friends have
gone to college, but we were
unable to send her. She ac
cepted this quietly because she
knows it couldn't be helped. The
trouble is that she is now very
much alone in our small com
munity. She has a job, but it is
not one that puts her in touch
with any young people. She
spends nearly every evening
alone in her room or going to
the movies with me.
I feel this is very bad and I
would like to see her get a job
in a city about 80 miles from our
home. She could live at the Y
or in a home with a nice family.
My husband doesn't want to see
her go.
e
Mr. J. R. Eileen is our only
child and the house would be
empty without her. Besides I
think it is very dangerous to
send such a young girl away
from home. You read about all
kinds of terrible things happen
ing. I have spoken to Eileen about
it and she says that although
she is lonely, she would hate to
leave us. She is a very shy girl
and I think she would be lost
and bewildered in the city.
My wife is in too much of a
hurry to get Eileen married off.
It will do her no harm to live a
quiet life here. Her friends will
be coming home from school
regularly and she can meet them
and go to dances and parties
during vacation time. In the
summer she can get a job as a
camp counselor and she will
meet young people there.
a
Th Council: If Eileen herself
doesn't wish to live away from
home at this time, she should
not be urged to do so. It takes
quite a bit of courage and ag
gressiveness for a young girl
from a small community to
make her way socially in the
city. As an only child, Eileen
may be rather overprotected
and it is likely that she would
retreat into a shell in the city.
A girl can be just as lonely, if
not more so, in the city than in
a small community.
Mr. J. It., however, is being a
bit too complacent about Eileen's
problem. It is not a question of
being in "a hurry to get Eileen
married off." What is in ques
tion is the possibility of her en
joying life at this time. A "quiet
life" Is one thing, but being
lonely is another and Eileen ad
mits she is lonely. When Eileen's
friends return from school, she
will find herself even lonelier.
She may be invited to their par
ties, but she will feel left out
because she is living a different
kind of life. Gradually she will
grow away from those old
friends.
Eileen needs help In finding a
social life. She and her parents
ought to investigate all the com
munity activities to find out if
there is one that particularly at
tracts young people. They ought
to investigate the nearest reli
gious center. Nearly all have
social activities for young peo
ple. There is1 also probably a
nearby small college or school
that offers evening courses. Ei
leen cannot only meet people at
such a place but expland her in
terests and gain confidence ia
herself.
