DEAR ABBY: I am a 14-year-old girl who really needs your help. I'm in love with a boy, "Lowell," who is two years older. We've kissed and stuff. Lowell says he loves me, but the thing is he failed to tell me he already has a girlfriend. He goes to a different school, so I just found out.
Lowell now knows I know this, but maintains that this girl is "obsessed" with him and he only "pretends" to be her boyfriend to make her happy.
Abby, on top of this, I'm Mormon and can't date until I'm 16. (I think my parents are catching on!) -- IN HOT WATER WITH LOVE
DEAR IN HOT WATER: Let's see:
(1) He goes to a different school.
(2) He may not be leveling with you regarding his relationship with the other girl.
(3) You're not allowed to date for two more years.
Bottom line: Face the fact that this relationship is going nowhere.
P.S. Please don't be discouraged. I have a hunch when you are 16 you'll meet a more eligible young man you'll like as much as Lowell.
