This is the world, which is fuller
and more difficult to learn than I have said.

Tough

One of my students today told me she thinks she might be pregnant.  And that her ex-boyfriend beat her and still hangs around her house.  And that her mom’s boyfriend sometimes hits her siblings.  I asked why she thinks so many girls here get pregnant- “The boys make them, don’t you know the boys here?”.  

Yeah, I do know boys here.  ”Tough” boys.  I also know a lot of girls who have that other kind of toughness, the same student went on ahead and finished her test in class after talking to me, getting every question right.
