Dear Queenie,
I was going out with a 17-year-old boy. He is nice, but he is going around with a next girl and she is in love with him.
She calls me on my cell and calls me names and I am a girl that I’ll tell you like it is, I don’t play baby games. When she does that I go down the road and curse her and my mother stops me because I could find myself in jail because of her.
I had sex with him 3 times and he is the one who broke my virginity and I can’t let him go because I love him a lot, but he dumped me for her and now he wants me back, but now I am going out with another boy. He loves me too and I love him.
I talk to my mother and my father and they tell me I have to choose.
Queenie, please help me.—Confused teenager
Dear Confused teenager,
Why would you want to stay with a boy who leaves you for another girl who plays such “baby games”? I do not understand why girls “love” boys who take advantage of them this way.
Your parents are right in telling you that you have to choose, but I would like to suggest a third choice: forget about boys for a while and concentrate on your schoolwork. Your letter had so many mistakes in it that I could not be certain I had understood you correctly!
