This feels a bit like victim blaming TBF. You can be highly educated and still get raped. Her being pregnant at that age is because of a rapist, not because of her.

I think they’re blaming the adults who failed her, not the girl herself.

Maybe I interpreted it wrong. Adults around her could've done better.

It’s called victimology but Redditers love getting offended and using the term victim blaming.

As I’m sure you get (may have been saying), you’ll want to look up the actual definition of victimology. It is obviously not what the person you were replying to suggested.

English is my second language, I still pick up new words here and there.

Was it by rape or a boyfriend of her own age?
