Perhaps, who knows.It could backfire because having a child for a few days or a week is VERY different to a pregnancy, labour and raising a child for life so they could look after the child and end up thinking 'oh that wasn't too bad, i could do that' and then *boom* another child is born. Fair enough that tv show is a good idea but it's not like they have to go through 40 weeksof pregnancy, childbirth and then being tired beyond belief but still having that little child dependant on you

I am 13 and have been pregnant. But sadly just suffered a miscarriage. I dont think it is covered in school enough when you need it. I think when your turning 13 and are in Year 8 you need to be aware of pregnancy but we dont cover it in school.

Why do you think so many children are getting pregnant?

because they think it will be fun, like playing with a doll.. not knowing what its really like and not worrying about all the other things they need to , like finances

i understand you were raped, but there was stuff you coulda done, so in a way it is your fault...

why didnt you go to the hospital have a rape kit , take plan b...
cuz you were scared you mommy would find out...
that immaturity and YOUR fault...
your too young to date if you cant handle the things that come from it. yes its unfortunate he raped you and im sorry, but you need to take care of yourself and be mature about it. and dont put the blame all on other people for your immaturity.

ohh and now that i think of it, you can get a rape kit at the hospital without a parent.. a hospital CAN NOT by law refuse to treat a minor even if a parent is not there... i had a threatened misscarriage and i went to the hospital without a parent and they still had to treat me.

How about instead of shaking your finger in her face telling her the different ways she messed up and calling her immature, you try to offer her some constructive advice on things she can do NOW? Does pointing out her mistakes make you feel better? Will it help her at all right now?

WHOA- can we take a second and NOT blame her?! You are being a little redonk here...seriously.

How would most people in her situation react, being that she has not heard of Planned Parenthood and doesn't know much about getting pregnant in the first place? Probably the same way.

I find it horrendous that you would say these things to her. You don't know her knowledge or her understanding of the things available to her. To my knowledge, it's not like she WANTED to have sex with him. Is the next thing you will say is that she invited him to have sex with her?

Do not assume that people know the same information you do. I am absolutely appalled at how you treated this.

u girls make me laugh!
if this CHILD doesn't have at least the common sense and "knowledge" to go to the hospital after shes been rape then she should not by any means be dating.. she too young and immature and obviously cant handle the consequences.... it is her fault she is pregnant because she could of done something about it and if she didn't have the knowledge aka common sense to go to a hospital then its her fault , she shouldn't of been dating ..then there would of been no boyfriend to rape her... also if she didn't have the knowledge for that she should of told a parent of responsible adult that would of had the knowledge... not sit here and blame everyone else for her mistakes... i highly advise her to stop dating until she can handle and take care of herself and her actions

Again, how is any of that helping her now? Are you interested in helping her at all, or are you just happy up on your high horse looking down at her and pointing out her mistakes?

Yes, she should have gone to the hospital. Yes, she's young and inexperienced. What difference does it make now? She's still pregnant. Do you have anything to add about her doing something now, rather than what she should have done then? Because if not, kindly backclick your way out of this thread.

Mamichula, this is a board for support. Please keep your comments constructive and supportive.

I'm going to lock this topic since it has seriously veered from the original posts and has jumped into criticism for someone who is reaching out. If you disagree with my decision, you can PM the admin.
