You need to tell your friend that there are far worse things than being pregnant and I know right now she can not think of any, but there is many options open to her. If she feels she really can not go to her parents there is places she can go. Look under your yellow pages under pregnancy and there is numbers of clinics, support groups, safe houses. I also know that there are millions of families looking to give a child a good home I am one of them. There is also abortion it may not be right for everyone and I am not a fan of it but that is always an option. Most important make sure your friend knows she is not alone. Give her my email address I would be more than willing to be a friend I was a young mom myself I have a 7 year old and I 4 year old and I am 24.
God Bless and Good Luck

Neither one is a good idea! Just tell her parents for her if she won't do it. She needs help from an adult. After the shock, they will start acting like parents trust me! They love her, she just doesn't understand how much yet. I have never in all my life seen parents like the ones they talk about on T.V. who kick their kids out when they get pregnant, or beat them up. In the real world they will likely just yell a lot, and tell her they are disappointed, and cry some. They won't hurt her, and they are the best place by far to look for help. Even if they did kick her out, there are tons of religious groups that will allow unwed mothers to live with them and raise their babies, they will even help them find jobs and get medical assistance as needed. She can't keep going around thinking about how big a mistake she has made, the mistake is over, now it is a baby, and it needs to be dealt with, to ensure the best health for both of them! Tell her to talk to her folks, or call one of the free crisis lines, they will help her.

Has she considered putting the baby up for adoption? Or talking to her parents? They will undoubtably get angry, but in all honestly if she is 14 and pregnant there is obviously a lack in their parenting skills and theyre to blame and she is not.
Kill yourself is never an option, and being pregnant at 14 is hard enough when you have a safe roof over your head.
If for some reason she does not feel safe talking to her parents she can go to a teacher or a social worker.

There are plenty of other options. She needs to tell her parents definitely. Adoption or abortion would be her best options because even with her parents' help, having a baby is no walk in the park. I had one after I graduated from college & had a career & I still struggle. It's not her parents' fault because we all have the first sex ed class around 5th grade, so she knew how babies are made. They will be upset because they want more for their child, but they will get over it. I went through it, & it's not the end of the world.

Neither one! She needs to be open and honest with her parents. No matter the outcome of that though, she should get in touch with her local ywca or other government assitance programs, there are many options and assistance programs available to pregnant women.

She should get herself to a doctor or a clinic for advice on what options she has. Help is out there. If she cannot confide in her parents, she might be able to confide in a teacher or another adult she respects and trusts. She is a still a child herself and needs proper medical advice and her options explained to her in full.

NEITHER! First of all she should stop having sex she is way to young! Second if she is going to have sex USE PROTECTIION. Third she needs to tell her parents so they can decide what is best. Either putting the baby up for adoption or abortion (I don't believe in abortion) And Forth it's not the end of the world

She is just scared right now.
It may feel like the end of the world, but it isnt.
She will qualify for free medical care, and get wic
She needs to go to the docter and talk to him, and talk to her parents. Where is the guy that got her preg? How old is he?

Neither! Running from her problems isn't going to solve them. She needs to talk to her parents, or someone that she trusts, to weigh out her options. Good Luck!

No way,She needs to talk with her parents(,I know that this may be hard for her to do,but she has to),therefore she and her parents can discuss what to do and what action plan to take.I hope that every thing works out for your friend and that she is feeling alot better about herself very soon.
