Dear Nurse Ansalong:
My parents have forbidden me to talk to a friend of mine that I met at Rocky just because he is 7 years older than me and he goes to Rocky (My parents are very close-minded about that). Reasoning with them hasn't worked and they refuse to give him a chance by meeting him or even talking to him on the phone. Is there anything I can do to keep in contact with him? He has become a good friend of mine and I don't want to loose him.

me, like many families, your parents have a mental picture of what a Rocky audience member is and aren't willing to change their minds. The fact that he's 7 years older than you also plays into their fears. There are a couple ways to keep in contact with him without your parents knowing. If he has an email address, the two of you could talk via emails. There are many chat rooms on the internet or IRC that you can talk in. If you plan ahead, you can talk on the phone for awhile. Also, you could try sending letters through the mail. This may seem strange if the two of you live in the same city, but, if your parents don't know his full name or address, they won't know that the letters are coming from him. While you do this, make sure that you are careful and remember that your parents are, in their own way, trying to look out for you.
