Dear Erik,
I'm having a real problem
with my parent and I'm search
in for an an er and I hope
you can help me. I am 16 years
old and I live at home. I am
very popular with my friends
and I get a lot of phone calls
each and everyday. I like to
pend time ith all of my
friend on the telephone and
for some silly reason this drive
my parents crazy! I could
understand it if they were gett
ing phone calls but no one ever
calls them anyway. My mother
will just come into the room
and hang up the telephone
in th middle of my conver
sation. And that is wrong.
It m es me mad and I don't
know what to say to her. Some
times she won't even let me
get on the telephone.
