first of all maybe u should not let your girl drive and second it would be your starter not to be a dick but if it does it on her than maybe its the driver does it do it on u

you gotta chill out on the cranking, the grinding is you/her destroying the starter. your started could be going. but until it goes, dont try cranking the **** out of it once it stalls, push in the clutch and give it a minute.
