How can my best friend handle this pregnancy?

My best friend is 14, and is pregnant. She doesn’t want to keep it because she knows it will destroy her life. There are no family members we can trust enough to talk to, and the father of the baby wants to keep it. Not only are we worried about appointments, but we are worried about financial costs. Is there any way around it?

Answer #1

Why would you want an abortion though. Its like murder. At least that is my oppinion and it may not be hers. I think the best thing that could happen would for her to give the baby up for addoption. It might be a lot easier on the mother. but that is just an oppinion

Answer #2

Becos she is under 18 she will need to go to the appointments with an adult, so whether she likes it or not she is going to have to tell someone older, a family member or someone she can trust, there has to be someone. Its going to cost a bit for an abortion if thats what she decides she wants to do so she is going to need some help from someone.

Answer #3

My friend was 14 when she got pregnant too…she can ALWAYS go through the birth and if she wants to keep in contact with the baby she can go to an adoption agency that lets you keep in contact, but if not you can go to a normal agency. As for the appts im sorry to say almost all doctors need you to be with an adult if the father is 18 or older they may let him but if not see if any of his family can help…DONT HAVE AN ABORTION

Answer #4

my older sister is 19… does that count??
