Depends on how young the girl is and what her religious/personal beliefs allow for.
I don't push the envelope in either direction, but there are consequense for any action taken. Keeping the baby will more often then not create a mental imbalance and resentment as the mother and child get older. The mother (as I have seen proven over and over again) will regret the loss of her childhoon/teen years, etc. and often times will take it out on the child (usually without meaning to, but it happens anyway...). Carrying the child to term and putting it up for adoption is a painful and mentally scaring process. The mother will never get over it and it will cause a lot of pain knowing that somewhere out there is a piece of you running around that you have no real part of. Having an abortion is often times the best response if the girl is young and unprepared mentally and financially for a child. Before the hate mail starts, please let me explain my reasoning. If the pregnancy is diagnosed early enough, it can be relativly painless to go through with an abortion. All clinics will have the girl talk with a doctor. It's a very emotional and painful time. The mother (or almost mother) will have to live with the regret and pain of knowing that she had to "kill" or "get rid of" her baby. However, the grieving time is a lot less than than adoption option.
It's not an easy choice and as I stated in the begining, it will depend heavily on the religious/personal beliefs of the girl and those around her who will have to help her though the decision process. If it's the parents who are making the decision, then I would urge them to consider the mental health of the girl and the future child.
Also to note, younger girls that have babies (or carry a child to full-term) too young can be scarred for life and may be unable to have another child later on. Also there may be risks to the baby itself as the girl (if too young) may not be able to produce the full amount of hormones, etc, needed for the baby's health.

Go see a doctor. If you're not ready to talk to your parents visit a Planned Parenthood in your area. They are understanding and can help explain the options you have.
Having the support of your family or a friend is important though. Find someone you can talk to!

Talk to a loving adult who can help her through it, then schedule a prenatal appointment. Consider the best option for the baby -- adoption, which will give a loving couple the chance to have the child they always wanted. Take care of yourself, eat well, get plenty of rest, and find a good support system of friends and family to help.
