When Dating Is Dangerous By Amy Dickinson

One of the ironies of parenting is how we seem destined to be clueless about our teenagers. Here we are, entwined in this most intimate relationship with our very own children, yet teens seem to live in another world--one with nonstop Internet access and encyclopedic knowledge of song lyrics. When teens start dating, they lurch back and forth between their private agonies and joys, and mask their problems and heartaches with arguments about learner's permits and lip gloss. We parents wait up nights and cross our fingers, hoping our kids will make it to adulthood unscathed. Unfortunately, many of them don't.

A recent study by the Harvard School of Public Health highlights how perilous adolescence can be, especially for girls. The comprehensive study of 1,977 high school girls shows that 1 in 5 reports being a victim of physical or sexual violence in a dating relationship. Girls reported being "hit, slapped, shoved or forced into sexual activity" by dates. Since this is the first study of its kind, it's not clear whether such abuse is on the rise, but Dr. Jay Silverman, author of the report, called the numbers "extremely high."

As the mother of an adolescent girl lucky enough to come of age in the era of "girl power," the statistics make me wonder if, with all of our messages about empowerment and sexual openness, we've forgotten to tell our daughters that they're still vulnerable when they're with someone bigger and stronger. Laura Sessions Stepp, who spent a year interviewing teens for her book Our Last Best Shot, isn't surprised by statistics showing a high incidence of violence on dates. "Girls in high school talk a lot about the pressure to have sex," she says, "and I wonder if 'girl power' makes them think they can handle situations they're not ready for." Sara Stillman, 17, author of Soul Searching, a book for high school girls, thinks the pressure and status of having a boyfriend early can propel girls into unhealthy relationships.

Since many girls won't tell their moms and dads about dating violence, parents should be on the lookout for signs of depression, such as changes in eating and sleeping habits, or an increase in violent outbursts. Experts in youth violence prevention say parents need to talk explicitly to kids well before they reach dating age, teaching them that all violence is unacceptable and to demand respect in their friendships. Parents should know their teens' friends and encourage going out in groups. If they suspect a problem, parents should try to find someone--a counselor or adult friend--their girls will talk to. And, notes Silverman, "we can't accept that boys will be boys. We need to intervene with boys, to hold them accountable for what they are doing."

How to Survive Valentine's Day by Bonnie Burton

Pink teddy bears, red roses and heart-shaped boxes full of candy can only mean one thing - Valentine's Day. Depending on how you look at things, there can only be one of two outcomes. You'll either dance the jig of complete happiness or you'll wallow in bitter disappointment.
Of course, even if your boyfriend conveniently forgets the holiday where he's suppose to celebrate that he has a girlfriend, you can still have an amazing day. Take this advice, and stop staring at the sky for a glimpse of Cupid.
Don't have huge expectations.There's something every girl needs to learn when it comes to Valentine's Day and boyfriends. Unless your boy is a hopeless romantic, don't plan on any big productions or lavish gifts. Most fellas get kinda sqeamish when it comes to matters of the heart so it's no surprise that this holiday leaves them feeling confused as to how to make us happy. The best thing you can do for your beloved is to make sure your expectations are realistic.
Plan a low-key event.Just because it's Valentine's Day doesn't mean you have to go on a date to some fancy-schmancy restaurant and spend a lot of money. You could have a casual indoor picnic, or perhaps go to your local planetarium and have a romantic night under the stars no matter what the weather.
Do something special for yourself.Whether you have a beau or not, you should still take some time out for yourself on Valentine's Day. Treat yourself to a day at the zoo, or buy a brand new journal and fill it with artistic doodles. Take some time out for yourself and remember that you're pretty cool with or without a Valentine.
Hang with pals.If you don't want to bother doing the whole couple thing, you can always hang out with a group of friends too. This means the pressure is off both of you to be super-romantic, and you can just be yourselves with each other and your friends. Anyone for a love-filled night of bowling?
Don't freak out over gifts.This isn't Christmas or Hanukkah, so there's really no reason to buy him a bunch of stuff, or to expect a basket full of goodies from him. A simple, thoughtful gift should do the trick. He might like some homemade cookies or the latest issue of his favorite comic. But don't get out of control by using all your savings to buy him a scooter.
Make a Valentine for someone who needs it.Remember how Charlie Brown felt when no one gave him a Valentine?Ê Do your part to save someone's mood by making them a card. It doesn't have to be elaborate, but a cute card with a train that says "I choo-choose you to be my Valentine" is bound to make the grumpiest pal giggle.
Hug your mom.Okay, I realize this is hokey and has zero to do with boys, but when was the last time you hugged your mom for no reason other than you love her? Valentine's Day isn't just about showing how much you care about your boyfriend, but also your friends and family. Your folks might get a little suspicious of all those unprovoked hugs, but once they see it's not because you want a raise in your allowance, they'll appreciate the gesture.

How to know if a guy likes you.

4.The bold approach If you are not patient enough you can take chances. Take a bold step and approach him as other ladies do.you can do what a growing number of women are doing nowadays - ask him out.
