Dear Ann Landers,
et me begin by saying I am a fourteen- year-old girl, and I don't know anything about the subject I am writing about. I mean venereal disease. I only know what I have read in magazines, and that's not much. Can a person get V.D. from kissing someone who has a sore on his lip? Could I get V.D. from kissing my aunt? How can a person tell if he has V.D. without going to a doctor? Where would a teen-ager go for treatment if he didn't want his parents to know? Please give me some information. I feel very ignorant and I can't talk to any adult about this. The kids in my crowd don't know any more than I do, and they'd appreciate some information too. -Curious And Needing Answers
