My younger sister called me today and was terrified because she had decided to have sex for the first time and the condom broke! she was crying so much and i told her to relax and try to calm down! i told her she needed to tell our mom so she could maybe get the day after pill! she was like no no i can't tell mom and i was like ally u need to tell her! i don't know what to do! i don't want to call my mom but I don't know what to do. did i tell her the right thing! shes only a junior in high school which is way too young to be pregnant! do u think i did the right thing? what else should i have said! should i drive home for the weekend (i go to college 4 hours away) help!

yeah i know thats why i feel like i don't know what to do! i think it is wrong for her to be able to take the pill because that will just make her even more irresponsible! shes not even sure if shes pregnant yet but i don't know what to tell her!

You are correct....a junior is too young to be pregnant...but, then again, it's too young to be having sex. Convince her to not do it again till she is mature and stable.

Here is step by step instructions:
1.Drive home for the weekend and say you wanted to visit.
2.Take her to get the morning after pill and say its for you if anyone asks.
3.Tell her that if she ever does it again to go on the pill for a month before.
4.Enjoy the weekend and forget about it.
5. If she does this again let her deal with it.

Not sure what the laws are in your state, but when I was 17 I was able to get the pill on my own from a reproductive clinic. Tell your sister to look for places like a Planned Parenthood by her.
Also, tell her she should always use at least two methods of contraception (i.e. the pill and a condom) in case one fails.

The morning after pill. That isn't responsible its just someone trying to cover up their mistake. A junior yes shes young but she is still old enough to deal with the consequences of her actions. The only reason it broke was probably because she and he didn't know how to put one on. Seriously if shes not pregnant get her on some birth control, I know I am. BTW if you want to take the morning after pill you have to take it immediately afterwards and only have 12 hours to take it. It is probably to late. My advice, make her deal with it on her own, if shes pregnant then maybe she will learn from her mistake.

I think that the best thing for you to do is to tell your mother. Yes she is going to be mad a you for doing that, but in the long run it is better that you get your mother involved. You mother will thank you for it too. If you have time to go home then I would so you can be there for her if she needs you. It sounds like she is going to need her big sister she would not have called you if she did not.

Go to planned parenthood and get an emergency contraception pill.
You can take one within 72 hours of having sex.

you told her to tell your mom. which was the right thing..
you could also call in the pill for her and she can pick it up herself at a drug store, but they might charge her..
4 hours is a long drive.. its up to you..
tell her good luck

its up to you about how much responsibility you want to take on in this situation. I would definitely make her talk to your mom...there is a reason why there is a saying about shooting the messenger.
