Right. A 15-year-old wrote this. [/sarcasm]

I will assume you don't have in your family, or know of, any intelligent 15 year old girls.

How many families do you know that do this?

"Months later, when my parents found out that I was having sex, they lost their trust in me and sent me to a group home."

The entire "article" smells of Jayson Balir reporting.

This wasn't written by an intelligent 15-year-old. A 15-year-old, perhaps, but she won't win any prizes for smarts.

I'm an educator with 15 years experience and a former Teacher of the Year. This, to me, smacks of somebody trying to "sound" like a kid. I have students for which this would be infantile writing. I teach kids who write like Harvard grads, except they're believing Christians, unlike so many from the HAHvad YAHD. I also have many many more who are barely writing on a fourth or fifth grade level, but are placed in their correct age (which is the 9th grade--age 15). Very few kids actually write at their level. It's either above or way below.

No 15 year old is "intelligent"...smart maybe, but not enough life experience to be intelligent.
