I was Only 17 when a am Berk was born. You could say we grew up together. In be been living with a Man for the past 14 years have a responsible Job and am quite Happy with my life. But it Hasni to been easy. Amber refuses to go to school where she is a Junior nor will she get any kind of a Job. She says its my responsibility to support her until she is 21. I say she is old enough to accept some responsibility for herself. I want her to graduate from High school but if that is asking too much she should at least get a general equivalency diploma and then a Job. Am i legally bound to support my daughter until she a 21? we have both gone for counselling from time to time but it Hasni to helped much. It hurts me to see Amber throwing away her life. I worry about where she a going to end up. Please help me if you can. Short on Hope in Long Island dear Long Island in new York state a Parent is legally responsible for an Able bodied child Only until 18 years of age. If the child is not self supporting however and must file for state welfare should the family throw her out the state can charge the parents for All payments it makes until the child is 21. You say you both went for counselling but it did no to help much. I implore you to try again with another Counselor a and soon. Your daughter needs to understand the importance of a High school education. Done today s crossword dear Abby dear Abby will wonders never cease first they Tell me Santa Claus is a phony then sen. Joseph r. Mccarthy was a liar then the soviet Union is gone. Now the crudest Cut of All is that dear Abby is off her Rocker. Just because i have a couple of gaps where i used to have Teeth has nothing to do with neglect ignorance or Lack of Pride. It could be that i am poor have always been poor and probably will always be poor unless i hit the lottery. Bull. If god wants me to have Teeth he will make them grow Back. Or maybe you will Send my dentist the $1,000 he wants up front to make me a Bridge. Roy l. Park Seattle dear Roy Call your dentist and ask if he would consider accepting his fee in several More affordable instalments. Its Worth a try. Good Luck. Dear Abby the letter from a Anonymous merchant a who complained about thoughtless people who walk into his store and done to even say hello reminded me of my situation. I am a woman who uses a wheelchair and i give up on this girl or Shell give up on herself and the problems will be unending. Dear Ann Landers this is in response to the letter writer who signed herself a school is no place for sick id like to make it Clear that there a More to the problem than just sick children. We have a school nurse who sends our kids Home with anything from a Runny nose to a stomachache and the time they miss is counted against them. If a child is out of school for three Days a doctors note is required before that youngster can re enter. Most parents can to afford to take their children to the doctor every time they miss a couple of Days of school. That a not the half of it Ann. In be received several letters from the school authorities reminding me that if my children i have two miss a certain number of Days within a six week period the teacher can fail them. Not once have they mentioned that their absences affected the Quality of their work. All they re interested in is How Many Days the children missed. This makes absolutely no sense to me. The school system says we must keep our children Home if they re sick and then penalizes us when we do. I believe this system is patently unfair and id like to know what you think about it. Mrs. Go a Cedar Lake ind. Dear Indiana i can see Why you Are upset but there Are no Blanket solutions to this problem. Every school must abide by the regulations of the Board of education. In your particular setup i believe it is unfair to flunk a youngster based on Days missed if he makes up the work and passes the tests. Your complaint on that score is perfectly legitimate a and you can quote me. C creators Syndicate would like to remind people that i am still a person some suggestions 1. Please say hello to me. I am not just a wheelchair. 2. Make sure i can get through your door. Many times i would like to Cross your threshold but your door is heavier than i can open. The current standards 8.5 pounds pressure for an outside door 5 pounds for an inside door 3. Please remember that merchandise placed on shelves out of my reach limits my choices. 4. Please provide a dressing room that my wheelchair can enter. Almost every store has one spacious dressing room that is the favorite of nearly All your customers. 5. Please talk to me not to the person who is with me. A typical experience at a recent visit to a resort hotel we entered one of the shops and the salesperson asked my husband a is your wife looking for something a and on a plane the flight attendant asked my husband a and what will the lady have a 6. Please do not try to a help me without asking a May i assist you a thank you Abby for listening to me and All the other persons in the . And Canada who use wheelchairs. Norma in Bothell Wash.
