jump forward ten years in your mind and imagine what state she will be in at 26 with a ged and no college education. take that image and find compassion for her predicament, as she will most likely find herself stuck at the tail end of the job market with very few opportunities for advancement, and possibly a single mother.

take that compassion and pull it into the present for this poor child who probably has no idea how difficult life is going to get just in the next four years, especially if she keeps smoking weed and doesn't get enrolled full-time at some sort of school. and whose parents possibly are either emotionally or physically absent, since they don't seem to have given her much in the way of life advice. and whose poor people skills are just going to make everything that much harder until she figures out how to treat people civilly.

does that help?
