Right now she could probably use a lot of support. There are different options to look into, and she needs to be aware of her choices. If she chooses to parent, go with her to parenting classes. If she opts for adoption, offer to accompany her to the visit to her caseworker. This is a scary time for her, so offer whatever you can. Good luck!

Well i believe that you should stay be her side because things are going to get rough for her for the next 18 years cause shes going to be a teen mother. I believe that by you staying by her side though everything is going to make things a little better not totally better but better. yes i think you should help out i mean you are her best friend arent you? I got pregnant at 17 and well i was called a whore and everything and its not as bad as people say it is, i mean yea having sex at a young is wrong and getting pregnant isnt right and i wish i could have waited but things happen for a reason. I hope things work out for the best.

It is really important to support her right now. She is going through a very tough time. You should help her become aware of all her options (whether she decides to keep the baby or not), encourage her to stay in school (that is best for her future), help her find employment, and help her get prenatal care (extremely important). I would do whatever possible to help her learn about how to best take care of her child (if she decides to keep the child).
Take care

If your friends with her you should go talk to her to see if theres anything you could do...bein young and pregnant myself (not as young as her) i know the importance of a good friendship..most people you think are your friends turn their back on you when something like this happens...

Be there for her. That's what best friends do, She is probably going to be going through so much. So be her shoulder to cry on, help her break the news to her parents. Do exactly what you would want her to do if the situation were reversed.
Best of luck to her.

You can't change what has happened, so don't punish her for it. We all make mistakes. You should try to help her when and if she needs help. It will probably be a hard time for her and she may really appreciate you when she's through with the pregnancy.

Well talk to her... be supportive an understanding.. It is tough to be pregnant at such a young age.... Go do things with her... you may disagree with her choice but she does need a friend and support system right now..

be supportive, hopefully your friends family are being supportive. i got pregnant when i was 15, my family were supportive i got married it wasn't the best decision. but i finished high school. i went to vocational school. i'm now 19 and looking for a job. to help my husband. my life isn't too bad. but i do regret i can't do things girls my age can. my advice help your friend as much as you can, and be supportive. i hope your friends family are supportive. and let her know you'll be there when she needs you.

You should not judge her, but yet be there for her to let her know that if she needs help that you are there to help her along the way. I feel as if this was you, then you would want her to do the same thing for you. She doesn't need you to judge her but to be there for her

well there's nothing much you can do except be there for her if she needs to talk. You might want to give her your honest opinion on the subject, but you shouldn't be harsh. Try to see it her way. If her parents don't know, you should probably let YOUR parents know. They'll know what to do.
