She definitely didn't write this as-is. No 14-year-old writes this well. It feels as it if was the result of an interview, transcribed by an adult into the first person.

"How did you feel? Did you feel betrayed?" "Yeah I guess. It's embarrassing."

=> "I felt utterly embarrassed, and deeply betrayed."

Also this...

> I feel like I’m being spared from what could potentially be dangerous for me at such a young age.

... is definitely written by an adult. For one thing, 14 year olds don't think they are young.

I as a soon 16-year old definitely still consider myself a child, it's ignorant to disagree with what is practically proven. I'm definitely not as wise as this 14-year old, makes me a bit jealous, have to admit.

Having been 14 relatively recently, yes, they do, at least in this sort of context.
