Ouch, tough sitituation.
I think that she should break it to her parents. It'll probably hurt the parent-child relationship, but it'll eventually heal. i think she should tell cuz then she'll have more support and the baby will have also have the same support. It'll be tough to tell the parents I know, but just be brave and do it. Once she's done tellin' and her parents R done freaking out, they will have to accept reality and help her.

She should tell her parents immediately. They will find out eventually and she needs all the support she could get. They will be upset at first, but at least they will know. They may not want her to go with her boyfriend, I think this would be the worst thing she could do (assuming you are both very young). Her parents would be her best support system. If she is confused as what to do with the pregnancy Planned Parenthood or another similar agency is where she needs to turn to be informed on all her options. Stand by her and support her yourself, but encourage her to do what is right and turn to her parents

No one can tell her what to do.
If she's old enough and so chooses she could try things with the father. She could tell her parents in a few weeks after theyre sorted out in their new apartment.
If she's not 18 she needs to tell her parents that she's pregnant, although she, and she alone holds all right to the child. They cannot make her get rid of it, and they cannot make her get an abortion.
If she doesnt want the child, adoption is an excellent choice, and so is free birthcontrol through planedparenthood.com.

I have a feeling that it is you who is pregnant, not a friend. Am I right? Before any advise is given, what age range are we talking about? ............ First of all, the best thing to do is tell the parents what is going on. You may be surprised at what they can offer in form of help and advise. Besides that, it will take that stress and worry away and you can move on from there.

she should stay at home, in school or college (both) and tell her parents. Boyfriend wants her to live with him? I mean what age are we talking here? Is he husband/life partner material even? If he isn't that is not the best place for the baby or the babies mom! She needs more advice and she needs it from her parents. If she is too scared to tell them, she should have used protection shouldn't she? Time to grow up fast and do what is right for herself and the baby.

No she should not moving in with her boyfriend without telling her parents she's pregnant
She needs to tell her parents about the baby
She need to wait until they clam down, then tell her parents about the boyfriend offer
If the parents are will to help out, she may not need to move in with her boyfriend
She needs to remember that her parents loves her, and want the best for her

She needs to tell her parents. Statistically speaking (and without knowing anything about her relationship), she is probably going to end up raising the baby alone. If (when) this happens, she's going to need her parents help.
If she does move in with him, tell her not to burn her bridges with her parents because she will need them and their support.
Best of luck to your friend! Peace.

she should definitly tell them before she leaves if she is leaving then they can't do much anyways but at least they will know and have sometime to get used to the idea just incase things with her and her bf don't work out then she will have somewhere to go

I would try not to offer any advice, because it may come and bite you in the butt. Just be supportive. How old is your friend? That makes a huge difference on how she should handle her situation.
