Dear Ann Landers,
'm a 19- year-old virgin and I'm sure I'm not as much of a freak as the girls I work with make me out to be. I hope you will print this letter in support of all of us who have decided that sex belongs in marriage. I have dated at least 20 men in the last three years and I'm proud to say I never let anyone talk me into anything. I've been called "abnormal," "too reli-gious," "chicken," "square," "frigid" and "just plain crazy." When the argu-ments got heavy I told a few clowns to buzz off. I never figured I had lost any-thing of value when a high-pressure make-out artist didn't ask me out again. I knew one day I'd meet a man who would accept my view and not try to change me to suit his "needs." It happened a few months ago and we plan to be married in the fall. There is no hassling about how far to go. He knows my rules and is willing to abide by them. I feel good about myself and what's more, I'm not worried to death from month to month like some girls I work with. Also, I'm not concerned about the side-effects of the Pill (as so many women are these days) because I'm not on it. The peace of mind and self- respect make up for whatever I might be missing, and I can wait a few months to find out what it is. ALL TOGETHER

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:


Dear Readers,
, whatever they needed I provided. What really hurt my son and I the most was the obituary - we were not mentioned at all. Our friends (mine and hers) were appalled. I was embarrassed and upset for not just me, but for my son-who loved her also. I never been so upset. Her x-husband put his wife and kids and their grandchildren in the obituary, who my girlfriend barely knew. They live an hour away from us. I know its silly to be mad over a little section of the newspaper, but it still hurts. Will time let this devastating loss of her and this article ever go away? I am so angry at this whole situation, its not like we can go and rewrite an obituary notice.

Tell us what you think?
