Tell her that you don't know how to help her, but you are there for her if she needs a friend. Try going to your school's social worker if they have one, they usually have resources for pregnant girls. You should tell her that she needs to talk to her parents... they are obviously going to find out so she might as well get ready to tell them now!

First off, her parents really are her best resorce. She needs to tell them right away even if she's afriad to.
I know that she's scared to tell them and worried about what them and everyone else is going to think about her. However, I think in the long run, she will see that it's the best place to start.
She's really young and raising a baby is ALOT of HARD work. At 13 she's not even held down a full time job. My feelings about it are that adoption might seem hard for her at first , but it's really the best thing that she could do for her, and her baby.
It would be the most loving thing she could ever do for the baby.
Please urge her to not have an abortion because she will honestly never forget about it and end up being haunted by it for the rest of her life.
Please be a supportive friend and be with her , if she likes, when she tells her folks. It's GOT to be done.
**** luck

Tell her to talk to her parents and see a doctor..I have a cousin that got pregnant at 13 and she had a really hard time at first. So tell her she is going to have to just suck it up and confess to her parents and hopefully they will be understanding. And hopefully you have learned from this experience and you can see how much pain she is in emotionally and soon physically and you will make better choices than your friend has.

Wow thats crazy. Well tell her to take care of her responsibility. She is young but she is capable of doing anything she puts her mind to. As long as she loves her child and has the determination to finish school and create a living for her child then she will be ok. And if she has support. Support is really important esp since shes 13. So just support her and try to help her as much as u can. There is govt help and there is plenty of help all over so she can handle her business!

You can go to your mum for help on this one. But really she needs to go and talk to her parents, she will not be able to hide it from them anyway. Just be her friend. Please don't follow in her footsteps. She is a child and now she is going to have a child. She should be out to the mall or the movies and being with friends - that is all going to change once that baby is born. I wish her luck, she is going to need it. Be true to yourself and wait till your at least 18, enjoy being a teenager while you can. Take care.

The best you can do beside being her friend (being there when she needs you, looking for information as you are doing here right now) is also telling her to talk to a close adult (mom, grandma, father) or a counsellor. You two alone are to young to bear the weight or a pregnancy alone.
Good luck!

There isn't alot you can do. Just be there for her and get her to talk to someone older. She's in a difficult situation but one you cannot help her in. Be the best friend you can and it is all you can do. She needs to talk to her parents and get help. She cannot do it alone and you cannot give her the help she needs. Seek help from a counselor or someone you trust.

Baby do the right thing. Go sit down w/ parents if you can or go to someone you can trust. You brought a baby into the world if you can't handle it find someone who will. Talk to her and her parents let them know how you fell so they won't be angry at you
hope for the best

It doesn't seem like much you can do besides encouraging her to tell her parents. It hard at the age of your friend because she is very young she really needs the help of an adult.

She needs to talk to her parents or an adult that she trusts. Planned parenthood might be able to offer some advice. At your age there's not much you can do except be a supportive friend.
