J. She's a child, no jn.atter how she looks. On Jan. 7, 13 boys and girls representing the fifth and sixth grade chorus sang for the PTA. They sang two f Go save yourself money.

I am 18 and a high school senior. I haven't dated much because I am not a good dancer and not very forward with girls. Recently I met a girl at a school sports event and start ed talking to her. I liked her a lot and asked her out. We dat ed a couple of times. Then I found out she was' only 13 She looks like 17 at least and is quite intelligent. I want to keep dating her. She has told her parents that I am 16. I look young for my age. Mv mother says I shouldn't go out with such a kid, but I can't see any harm in it.. Mrs. L. J. I am afraid there'll be trouble if he goes out with such a youngster. After all, a girl of 13 is only a child, no matter how she looks. I am also upset about the girl's lying to her parents. I trust Arnold to behave prop erly, but the girl must be pret ty forward to get herself dates with an older boy and lie like that to her parents. She has told Arnold her par ents don't understand her, so she doesn't care about lying to them. She says she can't stand kids. I would like to see Arnold go out with girls more, but not under these conditions. The Council: We're sorry, Arnold, but we must agree with Mother. The mere fact that this girl has found it nec essary to lie to her parents is a fair indication that this re lationship bodes no good for either of you. Arnold and his girl friend are experiencing one of the most difficult problems of adolescence-girls . mature earli er than boys. We don't doubt that the 13-year-old girl finds boys of her own age or a little older too childish and that Arnold is somewhat fright ened by the seemingly grown up young ladies of his own age, but the discrepancy be tween 13 and 18 is still too great in those fast-moving ad olescent years. Arnold will find himself unable to bring his girl friend into his own crowd. It would quickly be learned that the girl doesn't even go to high school and she cannot possi bly keep up socially with the others in his group. On the other hand, Arnold will find it beneath his level to go out with her friends. This means that these two teenagers will have to always date alone and that isn't a good plan for either of them. Adolescents need group asso ciations to keep the talk go ing. They need the presence of others to take a little of the strain out of their rela tionship. Group activities help them develop the ability to mingle with the opposite sex as mature, civilized individ uals. They should develop this ability before they consider marriage. On the other hand, a boy and girl of the age of Arnold and his girl friend give one another certain false gratifi cations that do not help either of 'them develop as human beings. Just as Arnold feels like a big shot when this pret ty young girl looks up to him, she feels terribly flattered and grown up because she has attracted an older boy. The relationship begins and ends there. They do not share ac tivities, friends, interests and the next step is boredom or sex play. It would be best to call a halt before that stage. (Copyright 1960.
