DEAR ABBY: I am 17. My girlfriend, "Becky," is 15. Six months ago, we were alone in her house. Becky's father came home earlier than expected and caught us in the act in their bedroom. He called my parents and said we had to get married. I refused. I haven't talked to Becky since.
Abby, was I wrong? Should I have married Becky? -- CONFUSED IN CALIFORNIA
DEAR CONFUSED: Not under those circumstances. Neither of you is old enough or mature enough to take on the responsibilities of marriage.
Perhaps when Becky's father made that call, he was trying to show his daughter that serious responsibilities go along with having sex.
P.S. That you haven't spoken to her since says it all.
