Dear Pastor,

I live in Canada. I am 17 and I am really in love with a guy who is soon to be 25 years old. My mom doesn't want me to be with him. He has two children and he will be coming out o jail in about a week.

Do you think he is the right guy for me? Pastor, please help me. Should I choose to be with my man or take my mother's advice? Help me please.

K. B., Ontario, Canada

Dear K. B.,

You need to listen to your mother and end the relationship with this man with whom you think you are in love. You should not be going steady with any man. You are 17 and heading for trouble. Try and get yourself an education. Be guided by your mother. You don't need a man in your life right now, so cool it.

Pastor
