to us DO NOT LET THE BOYS PET YOU I 1 have cave always let the boys pet pat me ever since I 1 have gone with them and can not see what harm a few kisses and hugs will do in fact I 1 feel slighted alighted it the boys do not pet me ine and think they do not like ilka me well enough boys do not care for or at least they do not seek the company of the girls who will not be petted and they laugh at them and rna make ke fun of them because they are slow and mo most Is t of the girls I 1 know think the boys a are r e slow if theado n not 0 t pet them I 1 liag for the boys to love me up it if there Is in anything makes me ina feel I 1 like I 1 k 0 screaming it Is to get out with a boy wh who is afraid to giva you a few kisses or even put his arm around you most blost boys nowadays are
