Dear Ann Landers, hat's with parents, anyway? Don't they remember when they were kids? Why do they want to spare their children every hardship? We all have to face life sometime, so why don't they let us find out for ourselves? Teen-agers want to learn from experience and not be pro-tected against everything. I am sixteen and my folks treat me like an infant. If I get into a jam or louse myself up it should be my problem. I'm only going to live once and I want to look back at all the fun I had and not remember my youth as a time when I couldn't do anything. Is it wrong to go where the other kids my age go, and do what they do?-U. H. S. Student
Hi! It's Margo here. I'd love to know what you think of the letters -- and the answers!
Also, any additional thoughts you might have. Thanks!

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:
Dear Readers, , unfortunately, when a physician makes a mistake somebody becomes severely ill or dies. This is advice? I am enclosing in my letter to you a clipping from the London Sunday Times. It reports one of the most interesting errors of all time. A surgeon in Birmingham, England, amputated the wrong leg. I agree with you, Ann, that no human is infallible, and I can understand certain kinds of “mistakes,” but this is ridiculous. Have you the courage and decency to print my letter?-San Jose Reader 51
