Courtney Crews, a catcher for the North Stafford softball team who has signed with Hofstra, is an example of a teenager who is torn by a real life situation that many of us don't encounter until much later in life. Her boyfriend, Justin Whitaker, was in the advance stages of cancer before recently passing away. (Photo by Jahi Chikwendiu/The The Washington Post via Getty Images)
