But here goes. ['m 17 and I have a very dumb 18 year old sister. I like her mind you, and I've got to admit she’s a “10,” or close to it, but it’s a gross space to be in when you hear your own friends sort of joking about her be- ing an easy lay. Being her brother and around her a lot may make it seem worse to me, but all she seems to think about is sex. She wears very sexy clothes, even to school, and talks sexy and is always pick- ing up on almost anything that is said and putting a sexy meaning to it either by what she says or the way she uses her gestures. 1 wish me and her weren't brother and sister at times. | have two feelings about it all both at the same time. I'm proud of her for being such a knockout, but I'm awfully embarrassed when the guys start talking about her. I want to defend her and tell these guys she’s not like that, but they'd just laugh because she IS like that. What can I do? How can I get her to take it easy? Or should | just forget her and act like she isn't my sister? I've wondered whether I ought to give her a darn good spank- ing! Have you got something to say on the subject? STEW ART: | feel sure there are better ways for you to go other than pretending she’s not your sister and/or giving her “a darn good spanking.” She ought to know that you are proud of her for being “such a knockout,” and also she ought to hear from you, anything else about her that you are proud of or respect. We all need the support and approval of others. But she also might be supported by you if she were told by you about how difficult you find it to have her spoken of cheaply. Tell her you want to defend her, but that you find it difficult to do, in view of what the guys say. Will you keep in mind too that she may not be near as active, sexually, as the guys say’? More often than not, a repulation gets choreo- graphed by one fellow talk- ing big and then others talk- ing bigger. If that is even partially true in her case, remember she needs so- meone who will back her and stick by her. lf she is, in fact, as blatantly promiscuous as the guys say, keep in mind she is in great need of something and, of course, it ain't sex. Perhaps you can help give her what she really needs. Specials for seniors QUESTION: As a_ senior citizen, 1 am sure you must be aware of the many con- siderations and advantages that are made available to seniors. I am _ learning however that many of the seniors I know do not seem aware of the goodies that are available to them. Why don't you list the advantages in your column sometime? I!
