[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I completely understand Randall's reaction but Malik is such an impressive young man, I think I could get on board with their decision in the end. They're both such special kids and do have a wonderful, if young, relationship. I would insist she finish high school rather than getting a GED though, which she could do in Boston if necessary. Lots of great Boston colleges she could attend too. Not the smoothest prospective path, but I'm with Beth on not risking their relationship. Especially after everything Deja has already been through. She's not a typical sheltered suburban kid, is mature well beyond her years. My focus would be on making sure she's pursuing her own goals, and not giving them up to support Malik's.[/quote]

Nopeity nope nope. And I think Randall's appeal to Malik at the end is exactly right - if Malik is so impressive then he needs allow Deja to reach her full potential.

Right now, Deja has everything going for her. Deja could be looking at a full ride to any number of prestigious universities. Giving that up for your high school boyfriend and playing second fiddle to him for the rest of your life is a dumb idea.

I think in the end Malik will tell Deja she needs to go out on her own.[/quote]

I agree and would think so even if Malik didn't have a child. But THERE'S A CHILD! No way would I want my daughter to be coparenting at the age of 17. A lot of it would fall on Deja. You know it would, no matter how much Malik tried to keep her unburdened. Plus Deja would be having to navigate choppy waters with the kid's obnoxious mother. No, no, no.

Deja's right that she is an old soul, and she'd probably handle the situation with a lot of competence and grace. But, she shouldn't have to. Her life experience gives her the ability to do it, but it doesn't give her the ability to see what she'd be giving up-- the fun and freedom of youth and ability to chart her own course. [/quote]
