Try looking on Facebook! A lot of the younger people would be there. You might be able to find support in your area but you will definitely be able to find an online support group for her. There are "teenager only" Facebook groups for injured kids. I'm 21, so I'm not a teenager anymore but...

Hi Adrian! Even though I'm a huge Texans fan, I am so inspired by your story and always root for you! I'm 21 with a left BPI.
