OK...I dont mean to be rude...but lets be honest here...if you ARE pregnant..how are you going to afford this baby...or even the prenatal care you will need when you have to stoop as low as having a friend stealing a pregnancy test FROM THE DOLLAR STORE??????????? It's a DOLLAR???!!!!!!!!
Anwyays...here's teh deal...seriously...I cant even believe I am explaining this to you...but...
pee in a bowl...use the little plastic thing that you use to suck up pee...and put it in the biggest slot...
usually there are two windows next to each other, and then one further away from them, The two next to eachother are used to show that the test worked right, and to show the result (positive or negative)...so put the urine into the other spot...
If this isnt making sense...then just go buy another test...one with directions...and if you are goign to 'take' another one fomr the store...make sure you get directions!
How old are you anyways??? I mean really...this is not right!

Contrary to what people say, Dollar Tree pregnancy tests work just as fine as the other ones. You just have to wait a little bit longer after your missed period to take it because it has less sensitivity to hCG, the human chorionic gonadotrophin hormone, which is what pregnancy tests pick up.
If it's the type of pregnancy test I'm thinking of (like the e.p.t) then you pee on the absorbant strip. Meaning that one end should be plastic (with or without a grip - this is where you hold the stick) and you should pee on the other end, which absorbs the urine and will interpret the results. Make sure you don't pee on the test window, as that could mess things up.
Either that, or if you have a plastic/styrofoam cup you don't need, you can always pee in the cup and let that end of the test sit in the cup for at least 10 seconds.
Make sure to put the test back on a flat surface when you're done...and DONT MOVE IT...for at least 3 minutes.

Did your friend bring the cup that you should pee in? The thingy is used to take a couple of drops from the cup and put on the tester.
But you should really buy one--"$1 at dollar tree" and the test should be done when you first wake up.

The tests at the dollar store aren't always that accurate because you don't know how long they've been sitting on the shelf, and so on. BUT you can get one for free with out 'taking' it from a store. There are places that will do the pregnancy tests for free, and will be able to ensure that it is done properly by telling you exactly what to do. The one in my area helped me out a lot. Call 1 (800) 395-4357, and they can find a center in your area for you. These places are all over the USA.

I have never seen a test where you have to "squeeze" anything...
Pee in a cup (it'll be easier for you, and you can just wash the cup..) then dip the absorbent tip into the pee for 5 seconds. Replace the cap, lay flat with the window facing up and wait 3 minutes.

I don't know what kind of test that is.It suppose to have directions.
Try looking in the box that it came in and see if you overlooked.If you still can't find the instructions then I recommend you to buy
another one but not the same one.Or maybe go to the nearest
doctor office to see if they give free pregnancy test.

pee on the part that doesn't show where you have to hold it. or you could tear the plastic part off but don't squeeze anything.

You need to go buy yourself a test (not from the dollar store) or go to planned parenthood and get one for free.

you should go to a drug store and buy a test for yourself. once you do that, read the the instructions that should come with it. after that, everything should make sense. hope thhat helps.
