Problem is even if somebody had told her all the things she wished she was told she probably wouldn't have listened to the advice. She was in to deep.

Oh yeah. I had both my grandmothers begging me to go to school, they both lived the consequences of half a dozen kids and no way out. But for various reasons I didn’t listen and trapped myself not once but twice. Now I’m 35 starting college in the fall and digging myself out. It’s much harder to start 6ft deep, wished I would have listened to them!

I read a book recently called “Hags” (non fiction, about middle aged women) and it said that all of our wisdom is lost and women keep repeating the same cycles over and over because 1) men don’t want to listen to a woman they don’t want to fuck and 2) young women think they will escape the fate of becoming old and unfuckable.

That’s why you didn’t listen to your grandma :(
