Prayer request update

Had a good time out with my 15 year old friend. We got to chat about life and some fun stuff as well as her troubles. I wish I could convince her to stay away from boys. She has dealt with so much garbage in her life and I think she feels like she can find love and security in a boyfriend. How do you make a 15 year old understand that is not true? Her mom got pregnant with her at 15. She has already been down that path which ended in a miscarriage. She mentioned tonight that a baby would just love her. I tried so hard to explain that having a baby will not help her life. She seems not that interested in God but still occasionally comes to church with us. I just encouraged her to seek God because that is the only real fulfillment that life offers.
