We see alot of girls that age and even as young as 12, unwed and having babies. It’s sad and most of them don’t have the support of a good mother. I wish her and her mother the best, but it sounds like she’s got alot of growing up to do. Unfortunately, all the preventative measures we try to push don’t seem to sink in and stick. Her mom probably will have a hard row to hoe for a long time. Good thing she’s got you for a friend.
12!!! My gosh, that’s just a baby! That’s incredible. I’ll bet you do see a lot of that kind of thing though, with a rural practice like you’ve got. You’ve just got to wonder what kids are thinking sometimes.
