I ran away to Tiajuana, and got married when I was 15. I was 16 1/2 when I had my first child,19 when I had my 2nd and 20 when I divorced. At 17 there is not much you can do. Teach what you can until their 14 or 15 cause after that they are not going to listen. Just be there for her, because she WILL eventually need you. My children are now 33, 31 and 25. Grandchildren are 13,8,3 and 2 and I'm not even 50 yet. My children turned out great with good jobs and morals. Just be there when she needs you. My mom was.
