If you're really her friend, suggest that she go to a doctor as soon as she can. Its REALLY IMPORTANT that she get the care she needs as her pregnancy progresses. It could be scary for her considering her age and she might not be ready. Direct her to go speak to a school counselor or go to a public hospital. Lastly, help her get the right resources to the best of your knowledge and support her thru it.

encourage her to get and education and when the baby is born even though it's not your responsibility try and help babysit if she can't turn to anybody else also take a vowed of abstinence with her so no one else gets pregnant my cousin has two children and is unemployed at the age of 19 and she has practically ruined her life not by being pregnant you but by not focusing on education and other responsibilities tell your friend to still chase her dreams but still put her safety and the babies safety first oh and people are going to talk but everyone makes mistakes and i know a lot of stupid people that bring up religion in these situations but no ones perfect so good luck sorry this was so long but it's important your friend knows

i got pregnant when i was 15 and im 17 now and married and i have my baby the best thing you can do for her is get her a doctors appointment and keep her calm it may be a mistake that she had made with her boyfriend but she can fix it. My parents wanted me to get an abortion but more than anything in the world i wanted my baby and i got him. Sometimes if you want to keep you baby and parents dont agree you can go to one of these shelters and they help you out with food and stuff like that i was going to end up at one but my parents finally figured out that it was all gonna be ok and if her boyfriends involved then maybe he would wanna be a dad and youd have to go through the courts to get married and all that. REMEMBER ON LY ONE STEP AT A TIME! and start with telling the parents email me if you want

It is a hard matter. Just be there and support her. My best friend got pregnant when we were 14 years old. I supported her, just be aware that your relationship will have changes. She will be changing diapers and you'll eventualy be going to the prom. It could put some strain on your friendship. Just do what you can to be there for her. She will have to grow up a lot faster than you. Good luck to the both of you.

Truly I think that 'just being there' is the best thing to do. She is going to need a lot of love and support during and after her pregnancy. Being there for her is a huge thing to do! If the father of the child isn't going to be around, maybe you could go to her appointments with her, the ultrasounds, and maybe even the delivery.

make sure she tells an adult. Being "there for her" also includes helping her see what is "right" to do and not just what she wants to do. Her judgement may be clouded due to the pregnancy and stuff, so help her realize that an adult needs to know and that she needs to know ALL of her options.

Be a good friend and encourage her to talk to her parents, offer to be there when she tells them.
It is really important that she gets medical care.
Good Luck!

talk to her and see what she wants to do. i know this is hard to deal with but her parents need to know. you have to explain to her that she needs them and truely cant deal with this on her own. whatever she decides you need to be open and accepting of her feelings and decisions and be there for her as much as possible.
