Teen Confessions #18
This issue contains two stories. "My Forbidden Love" follows a teenage girl who confesses her romantic dilemma between Phil, a boy her own age, and Dan, an older man she has forbidden feelings for; after Dan takes her in his arms and kisses her, she realizes she loves him and leaves without telling anyone where she's going. The second story, "Perfection Isn't Human," is a text-based advice column discussing realistic expectations for finding an ideal husband, emphasizing that no man is perfect and that girls should focus on finding good character qualities rather than impossible standards.
