☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free# Teen Confessions #39 This issue contains the story "Lies About Love," in which a young woman confesses that she told herself lies about her boyfriend Steve after he joined the Marine Corps at eighteen. She claimed in her letters that she still had a childhood crush on him, but discovered he was actually dating another girl named Debbie and had moved on. Through a chance encounter years later, Steve reveals that he ended things because he realized the worst lies about love are the ones you tell to your own heart, leading the narrator to recognize her own self-deception about their relationship.
When a girl named Debbie promises to wait faithfully for her boyfriend Steve—who's just volunteered for the Marine Corps—she finds herself unable to keep that vow, torn between her guilty conscience and the pull of other boys back home. As Steve faces danger overseas and Debbie struggles with her lies, a chance letter and an unexpected act of kindness will force her to confront what honesty really costs.
A young woman named Norma Jean trades her steady boyfriend Jimmy for the thrilling danger of Popper Dawes and his motorcycle gang, but a chance encounter at a lakeside hangout forces her to reckon with what she's really been chasing. In this 1966 teen drama, a moment of recklessness leads to a collision between two worlds—and Norma Jean must decide which side she truly belongs to.
When Tina's new thigh-high dress horrifies her old-fashioned date Jerry Holbrook, she's crushed—until her mother proves a point by raiding her closet, and Jerry returns with an apology and a willingness to learn. As they spend the evening dancing to the latest records and talking things through, both discover that understanding each other matters more than being right about fashion or taste. By the time they're planning their next date, Tina realizes she's found someone worth compromising for, and Jerry's learning that there's more to growing up than sticking to yesterday's rules.
