look into adoption. Maybe have her parents adopt her baby? Though that may be to hard/weird for her.
She is in a tough spot but 13 year olds in todays world just cannot support a baby emotionally or monetarily and she still has a lot of maturing to do herself before she takes on a task of that magnitude.
If she does choose to raise the baby, she can get the child support from the babies fathers parents until he is 18.

Well what does she say? I know the first thing people say is abortion, but why kill a living thing that you created? If she doesn't want the child, think of adoption. I think it's the best way, you give life to a new person and someone who can't have kids will love that child as if it's there own. I think abortion is wrong because it's not the babies fault you got pregnant, it was your own fault. So step up to your responsibilities. But like I said, adoption is a better way. She's too young to be taking care of a child. For me, she's still a child. And they do have a lot of adotion agencies where they let the biological mother stay in touch with there child.

Based on her and the family's believes.
I believe she should give it up for adoption. Many wonderful people are looking to adopt a child. She is just to young to keep it and still be a teenage kid. There would be no way she could raise a child at 13. Sh has no job no money no education no house can't drive etc. To love the child would be giving it to people who can provide it a great life.

personally i dont think that anybody BUT the girl and her parents should decide on what to do about this matter. my cousin got pregnant at 14. everybody was throwing the same ideas into her head but her and her mom decided to keep the baby. she had the baby when she had just turned 15 and now she has a beautiful 2 yr old little boy, is 17 going to school and married to the father of her child and pregnant with her second. but her mom helps her ALOT thats probably why its not that hard on them as young parents. i know shes young but hey shes happy with the decisions she has made and thats what counts. so like i said its completely up to her and her parents on what to do, and you cant do nothing but respect their decision, on whatever that decision is.

13 is soo young I am 19 and having a difficult time, but I have a lot more under my belt. Graduated high school and cosmo and real estate school. She has her whole life and much more. I do not believe abortion is an answer. She could consider adoption, they do have open adoption if she wants to have contact. But she needs to tell her mom! and then see an OB GYN. I hope everything works out! Good luck!

Hurry and get an abortion!!!! She is still a child and not emotionally ready for that kind of responsibility not to mention she is not even old enough to get a job to support the child so she will then become a drain on the system, what is he having unprotected sex for anyway? Since she is having sex make sure after the abortion you take her to an OB/GYN and get her on a semi-permanent birth control, such as an IUD and teach her about the risks that are involved with such a choice.

Tough question and tough decision, especially for a 13 year old.
Under the circumstances, I would recommend an abortion. She is still a child herself and raising a baby for her will be very difficult. I know that some will say that she should give up the baby for adoption, but that might be even more emotional to handle.
She really needs to talk to an adult that she can trust. Hopefully she can talk with a parent. She should also talk with a non-biased counselor that can thoroughly explain all of her options and help her to make the best decision for her personally.

I got pregnant with my first child when I was 14. So just because she is young doesn't mean she can't or won't be a loving, caring mother. Everyone says "she's to young," "she shouldn't even be having sex yet." GET OVER IT! Sex happens.
She needs to tell her mother herself. If she is scared maybe you could go with her to talk to her mother as support.
Support is what she is going to need a lot of.
And, you DON'T need parental consent to get an abortion. So if she decides she wants to abort it's completely confidential. Nobody else needs to know if she doesn't want them to. Abortion comes with a lot of emotional issues, and some people take it very hard.

I would recommed a theraputic A/B, as she is so young. At age 13 she is not old enough to have or support a child. It's very important for parents to keep an eye on their children. There is no reason she should be pregnant at age 13.
It's ridiculous, where were her parents when she was . . . .
