D. Having fun and enjoying lite does not mean a person is "bad," as far as too many people believe. This girl must convince her friend's family of that. She says: (Q) "I have known a girl, who is 19 years old, for the past 12 years but never chummed with her until recently. Before that her mother wouldn't allow her to be with me because she thinks I'm wild.

The girl herself doesn't think I'm wild, because she has been out with me on double dates. To my knowledge, this is the only time she has had fun and enjoyed? herself. Both her brother and sister are in their late 20's and don't go dating, so the family doesn't think this girl should. Do you think this girl should have some clean, decent fun?" (A)--I certainly do think a girl 19 should have some fun before cares and responsibilities of adulthood begin to weigh upon her. If you can help her have this fun, without making trouble for her with her family, you will be doing iier a great kindness.

Having dates as you approach adulthood, is certainly no sign of "wildnes." If you go out with nice young men, and if you help your friend to gain the sophistication in dating that most 19-year- old girls already have, you will do her a lot of good. Be very tactful in handling the situation. Your brother and sister may be jealous and may try to put a stop to her fun by poisoning their mother's mind about you. When you go out on double dates, make a point of bringing the young men to your friend's home to pick her up and give her family a chance to meet them. Tell the family where you are planning to go and when you expect to retuin.

All of this will go a long way toward convincing your friend's family that you are not the "wild" person her mother through you were.
