She would try to discourage others from doing that because she knows it is better not to be a mum at 15.
To be quite frank, it isn't my place to tell anyone what to do with their lives. I can guide, and indeed I wouldn't recommend purposefully being late, but if people want to then that is their choice.

I preach about consequences 24hrs a day to people. I tell my friends that if they don't do their work before socialising or if they don't start thinking about the future now then they'll have to deal with the consequences of that, but I can't do much more.

Freedom of choice and all that I guess. You can't be perfect, and if you were then how could you ever learn anything anyway?
