At wit's End She got pregnant

and he disappeared
In Sweden, a 12-year-old child divorced his parents
on the grounds of incompatibility and irreconcilable
differences.
In Chicago, another 12-year-old waved goodbye to
his Russian parents, said he liked his new school, and
was defecting to the United States.
It’s part of a growing trend that focuses attention on
the rights of children.
I remember when I was 12. Every Friday, my
parents went to their friends’ house to play cards.
After I had teased their dog, slugged down 16 ounces
of pop and listened to the radio, there was nothing left
for me to do but fall asleep on the sofa. About one or
two in the morning, they stood me on my feet and
stuffed me into the car where I shivered myself to
death all th way home.
I had been doing this for about four years when one
night I suggested that they let me stay at home and
sleep in my own bed. My mother wanted to know why
I wanted her dead.
Most of us who are raised by intimidation and
public humiliation have a difficult time relating to
this new-found trend.
Looking back, there wasn’t a day that went by that I
did not have sufficient grounds for dissolving the
relationship. A stepfather certainly constituted
“alienation of affection.” Whether or not they were
going to let me stay out all night at the prom was
“mental anguish” beyond belief. Telling me to spend
my own money for a bicycle was definitely grounds
for “non-support,” and switching my legs for lying
was “aggravated assault.” I wrote the book on
“coveting” and not returning anything.
If my parents had been any different, I would have
had nothing to talk about to my friends. Our parents
and their inhumanity to us was all we ever talked
about...or bragged about.
They made us salute the flag, believe in God, say
thank you, flush, eat everything on our plate, keep our
feet on the floor and our knees together.
We couldn’t swim after we ate, pick our noses, hang
on the phone, put our elbows on the table, go to bed
with dirty feet, drink milk out of a carton or smoke
cigarettes.
They punished us for talking back to teachers,
leaving the refrigerator open, playing with our gum,
losing our bicycle and stealing.
Babies have come a long way. I’m weak. I don’t
want to be the one to tell my mother.

Dr. Wallace: I’m writing
this letter hoping that it will
help some of the teen girls
who read your column.
When I was 17, I started
dating a great guy, the guy
“no girl could get.” After
graduation, we moved in
together. He promised that
he would marry me if 1 got
prepant. Well, I got preg-
nant and be got lost.
I never saw him at ail
during my pregnancy. The
only time I did see him was
at the paternity hearing
when our daughter was 5
weeks old. I thought that
once he saw her, he would
come back to me. Boy, was I
wrong.
Raising a baby alone was
no picnic. I received $50 a
week child support but that
was not enough money so I
went to work as a bartender.
I rented a house and my
best girlfriend baby-sat for
her room and board. I
worked seven days a week
from 0 p.m. until 3 a.m.
When I wasn’t working or
sleeping I took care of my
baby, cleaned the house,
washed clothes and watched
my sister’s two kids for
extra money.
I am now married to a
marvelous py and we have
a 3-month-old daughter.
Lisa is now 3 years old.
Fortunately my story has
a happy ending, but every
girl is not so lucky.
Girls, please don’t fall for
the same line that I did. Of
course, not ail guys are
alike. I truly think Mike
meant it when he said that
he would marry me. But
confronting him with the
fact was too much.
It happened to me, don’t
let it happen to you. — C.T.,
Big Spring, Texas
C.T.: Thanks for taking
time to share your experi-
ences. Your message is
reaching millions of teens.
Dr. Wallace: I am a 15-
year-old girl and this may
sound dumb, but I would
like to be a professional foot-
ball official. Please give me
all the information that you
can. — Marie, Colorado
Springs, Colo.
Marie: After you gradu-
ate from high school, plan to
attend college majoring in
physical education. The peo-
ple at the college can get
you officiating jobs starting
out with Little Leape, Pop
Warner, etc. Your next step
would be to officiate junior
high school and freshman
football games. For this you
would need to pass an exam
handled by the state high
school athletic association.
Again, the physical educa-
tion people at the college
will direct you.
If you progress, high
school varsity, small college
and major college officiat-
ing would be next. There the
professional football people
would see your work and
offer you a contract if they
liked your style. It’s a long
road but it can be done

After prostate surgery
By Lawrence Lamb, M.D.
DEAR DR. LAMB - Some
time ago I had a prostate
operation - a TUR. Now I
find that when I reach a cli-
max during sex nothing
happens. Does this go with
that type of operation or does
the fluid find its way out of
the system without harm?
Should I refrain from
because of this?

DEAR READER - I’m
asked this question rather fre-
quently and it tells me that
many patients who have a
prostate operation don’t
understand what its effects
are. As you probably appreci-
ate, a high percentage of men,
as they get older, do require

gen and nourishment?
DEAR READER - Most
people think of the circulation
as the blood that flows
through the arteries and
veins. Actually that’s only the
tip of the iceberg. Fluid
leaves the blood vessels
entirely and moves out into
the tissue spaces. That clear
fluid carries with it the
nutrients for your cells and
also the dissolved oxygen for
your cells.
After the fluid has released
its oxygen to the cells and its
nutrients and picked up cell
carbon dioxide, it returns to
the circulation.
A similar situation exists
between the mother and her
developing baby. The

to your own body cells in
terms of transferring
nutrients and oxygen.
In some ways the placenta
behaves like the lungs. Blood
doesn’t go directly into the air
sacs either. The thin capillary
membrane separates the
blood from the air in the
lungs. Carbon dioxide and
oxygen pass through the
membrane into the open air
sacs.

Finally one food
that's safe to eat
WASHINGTON (AP) - An
industry-supported group, the
Nitrite Safety Council, is happy
about the government’s an-
nouncement earlier this week
that a review of scientific in-
formation failed to link sodium
nitrite to cancer.
The Agriculture Department
and the Food and Drug Ad-
ministration said on Tuesday
that as a result there is no
reason to consider banning
nitrite from use in curing of
bacon, ham and many other
meat and poultry products.
John Mohay, chairman of the
Nitrite Safety Council, said,
“We are pleased that the
American consumer caji
continue to be assured that
meat products cured with
nitrite are safe, wholesome and
nutritious.”
Other meat industry groups
and farmbelt members of
Congress, who were concerned
about a possibility of a nitrite
ban if scientific evidenced
showed it as a cause of cancer
in laboratory animals, also
have applauded the USDA and
FDA announcement.
Some consumer groups,
however, insist the matter is
not closed and want the
government to initiate new
testing programs to settle the
nitrite-cancer issue.

prostate surgery so it is an
important point.
In the type of surgery that
you had, the little valve at the
outlet of the bladder is usually
affected. As a result, when
you reach a climax the secre-
tions actually flow backward
into the bladder. Technically,
we call this retrograde ejacu-
lation. All the other sensations
are normally there. Of course,
the secretions are then elimi-
nated the next time you emp-
ty your bladder.
I’n
I’m sending you The Health
Letter number 15-6, Prostate
Gland, to give you more infor-
mation about its functions and
the problems you can have
with it, including cancer of
the prostate.
DEAR DR. LAMB — I have
read that no paternal blood
actually flows through the
fetus blood and there’s no
direct fetus blood flow to the
mother’s blood during preg-
nancy. Then just how does the
exchange organ, of course, is
the placenta. There is a mem-
brane between the circulation
of the baby and the circula-
tion of the mother within the
placenta itself. The fluid from
the blood of the mother in
these spaces gives off oxygen
and nutrients that pass
through the thin membranes
within the placenta. These are
picked up by the fluids and
circulation that comes from
the baby.
Since this thin membrane
separates the blood from the
baby and the mother, there is
no actual circulation between
the two in terms of the arter-
ies, veins or capillaries actu-
ally joining each other. This
separation makes it possible
for the baby to have a differ-
ent blood type from the
mother without any adverse
interactions.
The ultimate result is the
circulation to the baby is a
great deal like the circulation
