My friend is 15 and pregnant. She is going around school and bragging about it. Should I tell her to stop or let her be happy about it? If i should tell her to stop...how?

Sounds like it bothers you as much as it does me. There is nothing wrong with being pregnant, but there is something wrong with being 15 and pregnant. He mom, or whoever, should be ashamed. What in the heck were they teaching her!! My sister got pregnant at 15 and believe me my mom was NOT happy about it. My mom had 6 children and we dont think abortion is the right way to go, not that were catholic or anything, it is just that my mom strongly believes that if you had the darn sense to do it you have the darn sense to provide for it.
She is confused. Don't think for one minute to be jealous of her because she is getting attention. Im not saying you are, but there is a reason why this bothers you so much. Maybe you feel like I feel about her being 15, or maybe you dont like the fact that she is getting attetion from it. Whatever the case may be, just kind of mention to her how you feel. Ask her why would she brag about being 15 and pregnant. In reality it may not be about the pregnancy, it may be about the person who got her pregnant. Im sure he is older and she might feel as though she accomplished something. Poor girl! 15 and has a child, she didn't even have a childhood yet. She will learn when she gets older how much having a child changes your life. Maybe you can talk to her parents. Good luck :)

It is good that she is happy. Today on the new a 17 year old was charged with murdering her baby. She gave birth then stabbed her baby about 100 times. Being pregnant at such a young age isn't really something she should be bragging about, since she is still in school, but I would rather someone be happy and give them all the glory then upset and possibly do something.

Pregnant and 15? gee what an acheivement.
I don't know what else to say. What does she have to brag about, exactly?
That she starting having sex at an obsecenly young age? That she is giving her unborn child every disadvantage in life? That she is still a child herself and yet is making babies? That physically her and the baby are at increased risk of medical problems because her young body isn't yet fully developed?
That she will likely need public assistance and never get a good job or go to college?
I don't get what there is to "brag" about.

15 is so young. the truth is she is still a baby her self. right now she thinks it is cool but once she sees how hard its gonna be she wont be bragging so much. a baby is not something to brag about so young. and you as a friend should talk to her. the truth is that the more she brags the more people will talk especially how young she is. its sad but that's life. right now instead of bragging . she needs to concentrate on school. shes young her life is not about her any more its about this baby she will see that. she is making other young girls like her self seem like its OK. GOOD LUCK!! you seem like your a great Friend and tell her what you feel. your doing what any friend would do.

This is a very tough question. The miracle of any child is a beautiful one but I cringe thinking she is at school bragging and possibly influencing others.
How does it make you feel? Do you agree and think it's wrong? If you say yes to this then it isn't wrong to stand up for what you believe in. It's nice to hear that someone else thinks that this is crazy to have a baby at 15.
If this person is your friend I can guarantee that she will no longer be. Please follow what you believe is to be right!!!
Good luck!!!

The bragging is probably her way of dealing with the stress. Being 15 and pregnant is not easy, and by making it seem like she is happy and bragging, probably helps her. As her friend, I am sure it is frustating and annoying. Just bear with her, it will get better.

She must be a little.. NUTS.. at 15 bragging about being pregnant is embarrassing. but if she is pregnant and is keeping it, be happy with her.. because that is all you can do. But you cant stop her from making a fool of herself. most likely she wont understand you.

no dont stop her because its find and dandy now for her but just wait until she cant fit her regular clothes and her feet swell and once she have the baby her hold life style about bragging is going to change especially after she comes home from having the baby and the baby keeps her up all night and day and wont sleep see its a lot of work when your pregnate and after you have it your old life is gone.

Let her enjoy it for now because once that baby is born and starts the 2 a.m cry fest that you hear about and she no longer can enjoy a social life and do some of the other things that her friends are doing because she has to stay home and watch her child I am sure she will change her tune...
A baby at 15yrs? She will soon realize that life as she knew it is over.
