value judgement

這幾天在寫青少年懷孕的個體模型,突然run into一些value judgement的地帶。對於人生目標和行為,我一直努力不要預設

As I am trying to write a decision rule model on teenage pregnancy, I become aware of a personal value judgement. It is very subtle but it is there. I try to be neutral in address their decisions and outcomes, but I find myself have more to say regarding it as a "bad" decision. I tend to "feel" that teenage pregnancy is a bad decision. That is wrong. Who am I to judge what is more valuable in life? Who am I to say discontinue high school education is not as go to college.
we can't say she is irrational because she decide to have a child, can we?
