of course, she will be 23-24 by that time. Teen years are extremely hard on teen girls nowadays. They are pulling away from the people who have nothing but their best interest at heart toward peers who are just as immature but as "wise, all knowing and invincible" as she perceives herself to be. Hardest job you will ever love.

I have always thought I would support any political candidate that would put forth a plan that sent all teen age girls to a convent somewhere in the Alps for about 5-6 years. Send them home chaste, bi-lingual and naive to the ways of the world (everyone has their dreams, OK?). But then I would have missed the trials and tribulations of having teens in the house, the driving lessons, the groundings, missed curfews, homework, girly talks, clothes, boyfriends, part time jobs, their friends and all of the fun of having a young person around.

Just think of it as another gestation period only this time it is much longer and you get a full grown person from the effort.
