Dear Ann Landers, I'm a girl sixteen years old and a junior in high school. I have one date a week, usually on Saturday night. Sometimes I go out on Friday night, too, if it's some-thing special. My mother has decided I must fill out a date- form. She wants me to answer about twenty questions. Here are some examples: 1. Name of your date, his age, and his address. 2. Occupation of his father. 3. Where did you go? 4. How much money did he spend? 5. Did he try to kiss you? 6. Did you let him? 7. Do you think he will ever amount to anything? 8. Would you like your children to look like him? I think these questions are dumb. Will you please tell me if I am a rebellious and headstrong teen-ager, as my mother says, or do I have a right to be bugged?-Insulted
Dear Insulted,
Your mother should know the name of every fellow you date because you should have introduced each one. She also should know where you are going. But the other questions, particularly No. 8, are indeed dumb, and I don't blame you for being resentful.
