=By Carole B. Ricks = uear varoie: . .There is a girl in my class who Jaiike very much. She is smart, . nice and well built I would like to ask her to go with ine. But I’m afraid of how everybody would talk about me. You see she has one problem that keeps people awaiy from her. She has a strong body odor. Everybody talks about her behind her hack but > nobody that I know of will tell her about her problem. It is hard to believe that as smart as she is, she doesn’t know why people avoid her. Anyhow, even with the odor, the more I See her, the better she looks. So I think that now I finally have the guts to talk - - to her. It’s just that I’m not sure of what I should talk to her about :-r first, her body odor or liking her. -Can you advise me about the best way to talk to her? Larry Dear Larry: ft you really like lady, the opinion of others wwaft* prevent you from talking to her. . As you get to know her better as a person, try to gain her trust and respect. Through her trust and respect far you she may be able to hear what you have to say about her personal hygiene. You don’t want to turn her off before you get to know ho* If you think that you could have a beautiful relationship. Carole Dear Carole: My wife and I have been Jiaving an - ongoing argument about this issue. So we thought ' we’d ask for another opinion. Although our children are only 10 and 12 years old, we are plan ning for their college education. I say they must start working to earn their way as soon as pos sible. In fact, working in junior high school wouldn’t be too soon; My wife feels that we should ■ support them fully until they finish school, no matter bow long it takes. We can’t seem to get -a this thing settled. We know that w^’ll have to decide for ourselves what.is best. But can you tell us the Advantages or disadvantages at both sides? Charles . .Dear Charles: ..It’s a good idea to plan and prepare now for later goals. However, you may be putting * : pressure on yourselves at this time. Thei^are some jobs which your cfflpren may be ready for attheir present age. Jobs such as* delivering newspapers, doing yard work and babysitting may be manageable. Working gnd saving for a purpose teaches independence and responsibility, mmmr ages 10 and 12 your r< 1 umaiui nutf to m.uwu having . adequate rest^play and time for * long as their j don’t W ^ _j reasonable job when they are a little older may be okay. .Your children are still young. They will grow up faster than you may realize. Teach than to be responsible but also enjoy them now. Carole ..Editor’s Note: CaroleB.Ricks is an M.8.W., A.C.S.W. social worker.
