The plot is flawed

Mishap 1: At the age of 16, the heroine was raped by a middle school teacher. Why did her boyfriend run away when he saw it? Irregular! A 16-year-old middle school student is no longer a child, but a half-sized boy. Even if he doesn't dare to come forward, he should call the police or ask someone for help. After all, that was the girl he loved, not a passerby!
Injury 2: Why did she choose to remain silent after she was raped, did not call the police or even tell her parents? At just 16 years old, she can take so much? Why so aggrieved? Don't want to worry your parents?
Mishap 3: Pregnant after being raped? The paper couldn't wrap the fire, how did she explain it to her parents? Or did not say, let the parents misunderstand that she is a slutty woman? To endure all this in silence? Move out and live on your own, give birth to your own children, go out to work and support your children? Do you want to be so wronged, can you survive the hardships of life by yourself?
Injury 4: The ex-boyfriend and the middle school teacher who raped her actually testified in court, trying to make everyone think she was a slutty woman, but they knew the truth, they were not afraid of their past being exposed, they were the ones who were cast aside the bad guy!
