TEENAGER'S PUPPY LOVE DELIVERS A PAINFUL BITE

DEAR ABBY: I'm 13, and my "first kiss" just broke up with
me. My dad says it's just puppy love, which may be true,
but I have a feeling that I need to be with him. What hurts
even more is he had a new girlfriend the next day.

I have tried moving on, but I don't think I want to. I want
to try to get back with him, but I don't know how. Can you
help me?
-- ACHING HEART IN IOWA

DEAR ACHING HEART: If your "first kiss" broke up with you
and had a new girlfriend the next day, what it shows about
him is that he has a short attention span. I know you would
like to get him back, but the word from here is: Don't waste
your time. While the end of a romance is painful, chalk it
up to experience and a part of growing up. There is no growth
without a little pain; and it only hurts for a little while.
Trust me on that.

Now a little advice woman-to-woman: Once it's over, all the
note writing, phoning or conniving will not help your cause.
Accept that it's time to forget him. The longer you linger,
the more foolish you will appear. So stand up straight,
smile and move on. There are better days -- and better boys
-- ahead.

DEAR ABBY: Would you please print this to educate your
readers about something I witness every summer -- parents
encouraging little kids to take native wildlife.

I watched a 6-year-old girl show off the two palm-sized baby
turtles her dad had "given" her from the lake, and put them
into a plastic container to take home. Abby, they were
snapping turtles! Mom won't be pleased when those "pets" snap
a finger.

Then there was the mom who thought it would be fun for her
7-year-old boy to play with a few frogs in their dry, dense,
sun-drenched backyard. Within an hour, the amphibians had
escaped and, best guess is, they died and became dehydrated,
sun-dried critters or dog food.

Abby, not only is it illegal to take wildlife on a whim, but
it's also selfish. At a time when we're already damaging our
planet for our recreational pastimes, we need to be teaching
our kids that living beings are not toys, but rather a valu-
able part of natural ecosystems. It's so much more fun to
observe and learn from a turtle swimming free in the lake.
Please urge parents to stop being so thoughtless, or they may
end up with a ticket or a missing digit.
-- WILDLIFE PRESERVER IN LAFAYETTE, COLO.

DEAR WILDLIFE PRESERVER: Well said. Children -- and too many
adults -- act on impulse when they pick wild plants and
flowers, or decide to "adopt" little feral creatures that
are destined to die when taken from their natural habitat.
Earth Day is April 22 -- that's Thursday -- and it offers a
chance for all of us to do something positive for the planet.
Many parents use it as an opportunity to bond with their
children, and some schools offer credit to students who par-
ticipate. (Hint, hint.)


DEAR ABBY: How do you attract single women while on a budget?
-- GARY IN LONGWOOD, FLA.

DEAR GARY: Matinees cost less for admission than late shows,
and if there are any museums that are not too far away, check
out free museum days. A picnic in the park or a day at the
beach doesn't cost a lot -- and neither do outdoor activities
such as biking or hiking. You really don't have to have a lot
of money to attract a nice woman. And anyone who makes you
feel otherwise is someone you should run from.
