hopeful......When I was 17...I was graduated from high school...and went, on scholarship to college..living in a dorm with many other girls, my age...it was a nursing school that was more like a "convent". In that place there was no alcohol or drugs to be found...
I can tell you what girls of that age talk about,,,with no adults in the room...lol...
they talk about boys. they are acutely aware of their emerging sexuality...and all the issues that surround that subject...from looks...to self esteem....to future marriage plans...to crushes...to which boy is cute...what kind of boy they would like to date..sex..etc...etc....etc....
I have got a feeling that she might want to discuss something along those lines...
hence, the desire for a female therapist....(I hope it is no more serious than that)....but I think it is great that she will have someone to tell!
