If she refused your offer to help then there really isn't much more you can do. Let her deal with it and hope the best for her.

Well, first of all this is your friend's problem, so you only have so much control. That's important to understand. An unexpected pregnancy is hard to deal with at any age. Whatever she decides to do the best thing you can do is be there for her to offer support. You're a good friend for caring, but don't push or you'll push her away.

Why would she not want to take a test? She may not even be pregnant and she may be freaking for no reason.
IF she is pregnant she needs to know cuz it is not just going to go away like it never happened. Better to know sooner rather than later...

Well, I'm afraid that unless she takes a test will she be able to decide what she really wants to do. I know that it's probably scary for her, but try to be as supportive as you can. Talk about the choices and be there for her. There's nothing else you can do-just take it as a lesson for yourself if anything-birth control. ;-)
Don't worry too much, show her that she can lean on you.

Just go buy it for her and let her know that you really care about the situation she is in. If she is, then she can start seeing a DR. and take care of the baby and herself. Maybe she is a little afraid of the truth. Help her out especially if you are good friends.

Encourage her to take one, the sooner she finds out the sooner she can begin thinking aboout prenatal care and all of her possible options. Just be there for her, she will need you if she is pregnant. Good Luck

just go to the drug store and get the test for her. she might be freaking out for no reason. ignoring it won't make it go away!!
take the test and go from there. all you can do is be there for her - whatever she decides to do - whatever happens.

just get her a test the sooner she knows the less stress on her and maybe the baby.
stress can cause a late period 2.

why wouldn't she get a test, because if she does she can take the steps to make sure she and her baby are healthy. Tell her if she doesn't want to worry about it next time...wear a condom..geesh
