    honestly some people here just need a clue

    16 is NOT THAT YOUNG sometimes. and neither is 29 sometimes. she is almost a 30 year old woman. stop infantalizing these characters and robbing them of any autonomy or sense.

    Dude, my cousin is like 16. He's been to juvy and he has two kids. TWO KIDS! Sometimes you just don't know what's up.

    LW has been with this guy for like, almost 5 years. They are going to get married. They are not going to break up!! Not going to!! they are going to get married!!! she said so!!

    try working within the framework you've been given.

    I wasn't joking about boarding school.
