DEAR ABBY: I'm a 16 year-old girl who is a nervous wreck from getting yelled at. All I hear from morning to night is "Stop smoking. Get off the phone. Hang up your clothes. Do your homework. Clean up your room." How can I get them off my case?

DEAR ABBY: What's the difference between a wife and a mistress?
Wondering

DEAR WONDERING: Night and day

DEAR ABBY: Will you please say something to older women who work at fast-food places and take jobs from us teenagers? There's one who who works here, and she's so goody-goody---always on time and she never goofs off. I don't think she really needs the money. She must be 50 years old -- at least.
