Know your story #676. Lived my own version. 17 and scared. Parents are the last ppl children will talk to. That's why parents have to pay close attention to their children. To protect them from themselves. Especially at this young age. Cant't be in denial with something this important. It's a difficult time for everyone. No easy solution. My story turned out for the best also. This story could have ended better.

Can't judge such a young person. A child really. So difficult. None of us know what was going on in her life. A young child with an adult decision. Not that cut and dried at all.

Parents are not their children's friends and buddy's, they are, to guide, nourish and protect until the children are grown and ready for the adult friendship of parents. In the meantime, parents......protect......they'll dislike you now, but, thank you for it later.
