Scenario
Jesse is a 15-year old high school student. She has discovered that she is pregnant. Jesse was born to teenage parents, so she knows they will never allow her to terminate the pregnancy or place the baby up for adoption. Jesse goes to see the school counselor to talk about her situation. During the conversation with the counselor, Jesse discloses that she wants to harm herself; she can't bear the thought of having to tell her parents that she is pregnant or having to raise a baby at only 15 years old.
