I don't often give alive, mostly because it never works. But I will offer this up anyway, just because there are some things I have learned.
If you are a parent, grandparent, close friend, teacher, or other important person in the life of a young woman between 12 and 19, and you see that she is becoming overly attached to "bad boys," then do whatever you can to get her away from him, and then find out why she does this to herself.
Now, this won't be easy. There is no more unquestioned, loyal, unexplained ridiculous love that that of a fifteen year old girl-- remember the original Juliet? And fifteen year old girls never listen to their mother, especially mothers who have done the same thing.
Yet, you will save this woman, and everyone in her family many years of aggravation and heartache if you can pry her away.
Tell her if she wantss to be a savior and a social worker she will be underpaid enough.

Do you think such "rescuers" are often the children of alcoholics?
