“People are forgetting she is a 17-year-old girl making 17-year-old-girl decisions. Everyone expects her to make sound adult decisions when I am sure none of us were doing exactly that when we were 17. Also, not to mention she had an extremely traumatic experience in Season 1 and has yet to process it. I think she needs a little empathy is all.”
“She’s dealt with a LOT of traumatic experiences, if we consider the backstory with her father. Growing up with a father addicted to drugs and a mother with alcoholism is traumatic in itself. Can you really be surprised that the girl tried to find love wherever she could?
That isn’t to excuse her for betraying/hurting her best friend, but give the poor girl a break. She’s a teenager, and teenagers do dumb, shitty things. Their concept of the world is so small.”
