SpKitl 10 The OJJup ft I The Nw Vort TIIMI WASHINGTON-Belong as a teen-ager still lives at home, he is obli ged to learn about sex from his parents. Tnal may be the wa it really is, in some families. However, many sociologists and, perhaps, lots cf think that Is pure fantasy. But whether it is fact or fantasy may be beside the point. II just might IK the law.

There is a (airly strong possibility that the U.S. Conslitu. tlon will be read, by judges, to mean that parents o( a minor must be permitted to help him or her decide whether to start. Community Corner TrainingleadingloNew Mexico driver's license certification will be offered beginning Monday at Gallup High School.

Evangelist Tom Thacker will speak at Ihe meetings. having MX. A test case from Michigan is now making its way up through federal courts, and, softr, that is the way it stands. The case seenu sure to go to the Supreme Court for a final ruling. If the parents ultimate! win a constitutionally protected role in their sex decisions, there would bo, of course, a question about how that is lo be enforced.

But, as the Michigan case indicates, they at least might be assured that their children could not get birth control devices or medications without the parents being notified, Access to contraceptives is, in fact, the specific legal issue thai Is forcing courts to move in on the question of teen-age sex, And it is another of those new issues drawing courts directly into conflicts over the rights of parents and of their children. The contraceptives issue wi II be at least as controversi al as the question over a teenaged girl's right to have an abortion. Hcouldbeevenmore controversial, because its impact very likely would be far wider. It might have a direct effect on perhaps half of America's teen-agers. Sexual relations between unmarried teen-agers is now very common, apparently.

Last year, Ihe Alan Gull- macfaer lutitute made thew estimates: Of 21 million youths bet-' ween ages 15 and 19, about 11 million more than half -have had sexual intercourse. Among the 8 million youths aged 13 and 14, Ihe figure is about 2 million or one- fifth. This situation, and the related problem of teen-age pregnancy, has led to a spreading movement lo insure that minors have access to sex education and to birth-control devices. It i quite common, however. for stales (o forbid sex education in public schools.

Michigan is onesuchslate.The Supreme Court upheld Michigan's law against a constitutional challenge by a teacher in 1974, Attempts by teen-agers to provide their own sex education through student newspapers, for example have sometimes run into legaltrou- We, as they did recently in ths Washington, District of Columbia suburbs. Thus, if teen-agers are to learn about se'x, from someone other than their friends, il ts at home or at some facility where they might obtain birth-control devices. Family planning advocates are now trying to encourage the offering of sex education at birth-conlrol clinics. ACT FAST! Magmvox quality at ordinary TV prkes. Magnavox Quality in every detail.

i MATHEWS Dear Abby Turn in Wishbone for Backbone aramis bracing body ZFL.OZ. STUDENTS Charlene Turner and Alex Sanchez prepare for summer courses at New Mexico State University. By ABIGAIL VAN BUREN DEAR ABBY: Four years ago when I was 16,1 (ell in love with my brother's best buddy. He was 19 and gave me no encouragement. 1 am ashamed to admit it, but the slimmer I turned 181 threw myself al him in a way he couldn't turn down, and we had an affair.

He was ray first and only, but I was neither his first nor his only. He told me about the others. He never once said he loved me, but 1 told him I loved him. He said he couldn't get serious about any girl, but I notice he's got a steady now. He treats me like a sister except for those times 1 beg him to be a lover to me.

I feel so cheap, Abby, but I can't help myself. I love him so much. When 1 see him with a get physically sick. I turn down dales with other guys just lo sit home and play records lhat remind roc of him. How can I make him love me? IN LOVE AND MISERABLE DEAR IN LOVE: You can't.

And if you invest any moretiiiie and longing on this hopeless situation you're asking for the misery you feel. A begging, brooding girl is unattractive, so substitute that wishbone for some backbone and force yourself to get busy with other things and thoughts of other people. You can get over him if you try and try you must. Pray for strength. It works! DEAR ABBY: Thanks for your understanding letter to TEN YEARS TOO LATE.

You said, "No one steals affection; people are usually drawn together by a mutual need." How wise you are. When I was I looked into a pair of dark eyes and fell as though 1 had met the other half of my own soul. I wasn't married, but he was. God knows how much I longer lo have a romalic encounter with this man. hut 1 ran from my feelings as though they were poison.

In these days when most people seem to grab whatever (and whomever) they want without a thought of the consequences, perhaps 1 was (oolish because never again did feel that way about aman. Foolish or not, I Honestly believe that this way 1 have fewer regrets. No answer is necessary, Abby. I just wanted to get this off my chest. BETTY DEAR BETTY: Thanks for a powerful letter.

DEAR ABBY: I am getting married soon and when my aunt asked roe what 1 wanted for a wedding present, I replied, "How much do you want to spend?" Well my mother heard me, and she really took me apart! Abby, I still can't understand why my question was out of line. I know lhat my aunt is going to buy me something so what's wrong with finding out what she (rom a can opener to a color TV. My mother said 1 should have her that all I wanted were her "good wishes." How hypocritical can you get? This aunt happens lo be the richest one in our family.
