helping pregnant friend Posted: 06-21-08 00:33am
Hey Everybody.
The other day, I just found out that my
best friend who is 17 is pregnant. She
lives in the big city about 50 km's (40ish
miles) away and has some major home issues
(no parents), long story short, she is
homeless. The cops wont do anything, be
there done that. Now not only that, but
her boyfriend (the baby's father) is
involved in a major gang and is into
drugs, etc. He says that he is wanting
this baby and everything but I'm scared
that something really awful is gonna
happen, anything (I know the guy, and he
is bad news!).
She wants to move back (to live with me)
but I'm afraid that her boyfriend will
make her stay in the city where her life
went down hill very fast in the first
place. Also she has past expirence in a
few drugs, and also shes been drunk alot
(im not sure if she has been while
pregnant). She also smokes. I know she is
smart enough to stop but she falls for
peer pressure very, very easily.
Anyways, I really want to help her with
this baby, but I don't know how to go
about it. I had a misscarrage about 9
months ago, which really hurt, so helping
her would make me feel good also. Any
advice will be greatly appretiated!
Thanks!

If she wants to move in with you, let her.
It's her choice and if she tries to go
back to him, talk her out of it. I hope
everything goes well!
