* DEAR ABBY: I am a 17-year-old high school junior. A
year ago I was raped on my way to school. I, believe 1 have
dealt with the situation very well, but my problem is this:
Am I still considered a virgin?

[realize that technically and physically 1 probably am nat,
but since this was done without my consent and cooperation,
in another way of looking at it I'm still a virgin. (I never
“gave" myself to anyone. My virginity was taken from me.)

This question has bothered me a lot and I hope you can
give me an answer since I respect your opinion very much.
I am signing my real name, bul if yeu print this, please

signit...

peared suddenly. One minute she was beside me in the
itchen, and the next minute she was gone. I nearly went

houses, searching frantically with tears in my eyes and a
Jump in my throal.

Finally, just before sundown, when I was nearly ex-
hausted and hysterical, a nelghbor spotted an old
refrigerator stored in the corner of our garage! He opened
the door and out tumbled my daughter, blue and practically
lifeless, With the help of a quick-thinking neighbor and the
fire department, the child-was revived, and thank Gad, now
she is all right. og

Abby, please urge parents to position discarded
refrigerators with the doors turned toward the wall so kids
can’t open them. If anything had happened to my child, I'd
never have forgiven myself,

DEAR THANKING: I appreciate the. timely reminder,

Parents, please REMOVE: the doors from stored

refrigerators, cabinets or other potential “co

; fins” for
eurlaua and adventuresome children.
