This girl is Amelia Earhart. She is Helen Thayer. Isabelle Eberhardt. Marie Curie.

How old were those women?

Amelia Earhart Age 40 at disappearnce

Helen Thayer Age 50 when she first soloed the pole.

Isabelle Eberhardt Age 20 when she went to Africa with Mom

Marie Curie Age 39 when she started to teach.

Nope. Not one of them was 16. And the 20 year old was with Mom.

You completely missed the point of the post. Not unexpected. These women did something that they weren't thought capable of doing. Amelia didn't start flying at age 40. She was a well known daredevil before then. Curie was experimenting with something that could and would kill. Eberhardt went with her mother to the heart of Africa when coming home wasn't assured. A quick hop to and fro wasn't possible.

They all started somewhere. Abby got an earlier start. Could be that she will do even greater things, with the knowledge she gleans from this. We won't know for some time.

But people like you aren't willing to let someone even take a chance.

And that isn't forgivable.
