Teen Confessions #39

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.
