in wanting to run away from it all? If I did run away, what would be the consequences?
If I don’t run away I am afraid I may use my temper instead of my head, which would be disastrous.
Thank you for some advice.

Dear Mr. J:
It always pleases me when a hoy or a man brings a problem to this department. I consider it a truly fine compliment.
Although you describe yourself as a “kid of seventeen,” you will soon be eligible as a fighting man, so one may consider you well on the road to maturity. I have noticed, incidentally, that a great many of those of your generation are quick to demand understanding from their parents without, in turn, trying to understand the parents.
The reason you are somewhat too carefully guarded is simply that your parents have a great love for you. Their refusal to let you join the JSavy, and their refusal to let you go hunting, both stem from their anxiety for your safety.
Certainly you shouldn’t run away and, by so doing, break their hearts. Isn’t there an older man who is a friend of your family — a schoolteacher or a clergyman to whom you could talk and who, in turn, could have a talk with your parents? He might be able to explain to them that you are like any other boy of seventeen — you want to have an occasional date with a girl.
As for serving your country, why don’t you go to work in the shipyards now, as your parents wish? You will be drafted when you are eighteen, anyhow. In that way you will have pleased your parents for the time being and you will get your chance to join the Navy, too.
