DEAR ABBY: I am a 12-year-old girl who is dating a senior boy in high school.
One night, we went to a party and then back to his place. His parents and sister were out of town, and he was really drunk.
As soon as we got to his house, he started drinking again. That led to a big fight. I was literally walking out the door when he grabbed me and told me if I ever leave him, he'll hunt me down and kill me!
Abby, ever since that night, I've been scared of him. Please tell me what to do. -- SCARED IN MAXTON, N.C.
DEAR SCARED: Tell your parents or guardian about the young man's threat. You are too young to deal with this yourself and to be dating a boy that much older than you.
He clearly has problems and not enough supervision -- and the same is true of you.
P.S. Under no circumstances should you be riding in a car with a driver who has been drinking. That, too, could cost you your life.
