Teen Confessions #16
"To Be Young Again" tells the story of a woman who, having rebelled against discipline at home and school, met Joe Pfeifer at sixteen and became involved with him despite warnings from others, leading to a proposal of marriage. After initially hesitating, she eventually married Joe, but later discovered he had been previously married and divorced, creating conflict with her family and forcing her to confront difficult questions about remarriage and her future happiness. The issue also includes an advice column titled "Yes Or No?" that addresses whether divorced and remarried couples can find happiness, discussing the statistical realities of remarriage and offering guidance on overcoming the complications of a spouse's prior marriage.
