Parental Patty Tyraaales Make Lives of Daughters Miserable

M ONE Oil‘ ‘IIHE saddest things in life is that so man-y girls and their Parents cannot get along together. That Ls a tragedy for both of them because it makes then throw away (he years that should be happiest for them in bickering and fights that make their homes bloody battle- Bwunds. instead of the places of peace and affection that they should be. I am appalled ‘at the number of tear-soaked letters tirat. I get daily fmm WW8 girls telling of how unhappy they are in their hurries; of how harshly their parents treat them and the petty tyrsnnies they put upon them: of the nearing and fault-finding that keep their nerves raw. and of the general nnsery of their lots that makes them plan to run away. And, curiously enough walls is: “My mother doesn't. trust me. I am a good I get fine grades at school. do anything that I shouldn't do. have a little harmless fun and a few dates. my mother always thinks I am up to some tricks. so she spies on me. She opens my letters and reads them. And it hurts me that she doesn't trust me."
