She’s Dumb— But No Dummy By Abigail Van Buren §* 1670 by Chicago Tribune-N.Y. Nows Synd. tnc. DEAR ABBY: [ am a 17-year-old gitl who needs some ad- vice on several things having to do with sex and pregnancy. My mother has never told me anything. Of course I know WHAT is done, but I would like to know if there is any way a ‘girl can go all the way without getting pregnant. Thave heard about the Pill, but I don't know where to get any or how they are used. If I walk into a drugstore, will they sell me some? Are there instructions on the bottle? Thave also heard that there is a certain time of the month when a girl is “safe.” When is that time? We studied it in biology class, but were told we shouldn't depend on it because it is not 100 percent safe. I am really confused. I have been told that some boys use something. The guy doesn't have to worry about getting pregnant, so what arc they for? F hate to sound dumb, but I would like to know the answers to these questions and I don't know who else to ask. A POORLY INFORMED GIRL _ DEAR GIRL: Your questions are good and you deserve straight answers. Phone your local PLANNED PARENT- HOOD office and ask for an appointment to see a “teen counselor” about birth control information, LE you're old enough to ask, you're old enough to know. ; DEAR ABBY: The letter from the young mother whose 20-month-old child screamed and trembled every time a vacuum cleaner was turned on brought back memories. I went through the same thing with my son, John, new 21. When John was an infant he not only sereamed whenever I used the vacuum cleaner, he would double up in pain. He reacted the same way to power tools and other high pitched noises. - : The doctor said he probably would outgrow it and I should try to get him used to it. It didn’t work. Sometimes the noise would make Johnny physically sick and the poor kid would throw up. I finally put away the vacuum cleaner and used a carpet sweeper instead. . Traised four kids, and Johnny was the only one with this ” problem. . E.T. IN N.J. DEAR E.T.: I heard from several ear specialists that some children are born with an extremely high sensitivity to loud noises. They suffer severe pain when subjected to them and should not be forced to “get weed to it.” (Some outgrow this sensitivity and some do not.| A child who reacts violently te loud noises should be ex- amined by an car specialist. DEAR ABBY: Out of the blue, my sister's husband (T'll call him Neville) has asked her for a divorce. They're both 50 and have three married children. . Neville teaches English to foreigners, and it seems he has ‘ fallen in love with a 28-year-old pupil. I have always gotten on quile well with Neville, so he keeps ringing me up to ask when he can bring his girlfriend over to meet me. I always give him some kind of excuse: “Sorry, not tonight, I have another engagement, " ele. Soon I'll run out of excuses. . My sister is very upset over what her husband has done, and so am I. Furthermore, 1 am not the least bit interested . in meeting his young girlfriend. How ean I handle this without hurting his feelings?
