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.
