CALM & COLLECTED'S PROBLEM PAGE. 9 Dear Calm and Collected, There is this boy who is always bothering me; he is forever chasing after me and I really hate him. I always tell him to get lost but he just won't. Please help me, he is a real pest. Pestered. Dear Pestered, This is a childish attitude that this boy is displaying and I feel that your best move would be to ignore him altogether and show no interest in him, a while of the cold sholder and he will probably leave you alone. Calm and Collected. Dear Calm and Collected, My friend has a problem. She will not go with any-one. Pler,ty of boys ask out with her, but she always refuses. I have asked her why she always refuses but she will not tell me, this is beginning to annoy me. Please help. Annoyed. P.S. We are both sixteen. Dear Annoyed, Having given your letter a great deal of thought and consideration I feel I must suggest that your friend invest in a set of knitting needles, plenty of patterns and mountains of wool. I do not think that it is normal for a sixteen year old girl to be so adverse to boys and I think that she should also consider how she would look in the black and white garb of the nuns. If, as they say, the shoe fits, wear it. Calm and Collected. Dear Calm and Collected, I fancy this girl and I think she likes me too. I can't bring myself' to ask her out as I wouldn't know what to say; please help me. I am fifteen and so is she. ??????_?? And this one~ Dear Calm and Collected , I am thirteen and I fancy this boy. I can't tell anyone about it because they will laught at me; you see, he is twenty four and married with two children. I can't get him out of my mind. Please help. Dear Question Mark and Unsigned, I'll start by explain)ng why I ran both of your letters together without answering the first one before taking on the second. I noticed that the handwriting on both were the same and that t he paper on which they were written was identical, also they were both written in pencil. I am forced to come to the conclusion that you are of a split personality and are unsure of your gender, age or affections. My only suggestion ls that you pay visit to a psychiatrist and get your marbles counted. Calm and Collected. Please note~ any letters bearing similar characteristics will be counted as hoaxes and treated accordingly. Dear Calm and Collected, Tel.

Dear S.A.M.B., I can see that you might be worried about what you should do, but why not just play it by ear, after all who's to say that either or any of them will feel the same when they come back, maybe one of them may not feel like carrying on with the relationship and so the choi ce is no longer yours. On the other hand if both decide that they want you, then you· must make the relevant choice on your own, you will need to f i gure out whfoh one of them :vou feel strongest for. Then again by the time they come you might be quite happy withsome other person and not feel the need to date either of them. Calm and Collected. Dear Calm and Collected, My problem is that I smoke and I must give it up before my mother finds out as she would half k)ll me. Please help me find a way to stop. Dear Worried, Yours faithfully, Worried. Since you are so worried about being caught by your mother I assume that you are too young to be smoking and unable to afford them. Nobody can make you stop smoking it is up to yourself to do so, but as a little prompter I suggest that you smoke a cigarette through a white handkerchief and see the stain it leaves then think of what it will be doing to your lungs.
