As a parent, would you want another parent (or adult) acting as your child's guardian?
First, you're not her guardian so you can't help her. Second, again, you wouldn't want some other parent doing that to you. Third, a LOT of kids that age are ashamed of their parents and daughters tend to hurt their moms tremendously by their behavior. I know I hurt my mom's feelings when I was around that age, but I didn't mean to.
Tell your friend not to be incredibly cruel to the people who care for her and love her. She needs to remember that most every other 15-year-old kid is ashamed of their parent(s), too.

What you should do is you do not go to help her out and take her parents place that is a big no no.
If you really want to help her out what you should do is try to talk to your friend and try to kick some sense in to her.
I can't believe that she is ashamed on the women who brought her into the world. That is so mess up. So like I said girl talk to her and ask her why? And you tell her I cannot go as your guardian I love you but i cannot do this for you.
Girl if she don't want to listen to you then I guess then you will have to talk to her parents and let them know what is going on.
You do not deserve for know one to put you in the middle regardless if she is your friend or not your not suppose to be stress out. You will be just fine for now all you have to do is talk to her.

You are not her guardian. You shouldn't go as one. Tell her you would be happy to go with her and her parents. It sounds like she and her parents need to talk. Maybe you can understand the situation better by being around them a little and act as a sort of mediator. I bet once they start talking again, things will work out better....

I would try and find out why your friend is ashamed of her parents first. If it's a physical embarrassment, then perhaps explain to your friend that her parents love her and it shouldn't matter so much how they look on the outside. Tell her to be grateful that she has parents that care enough to show up to one of her school meetings and she should never take caring, loving parents willing to BE THERE for granted.
If it's something else, then find out what & deal with it accordingly.

An umarried teenager with a child is hardly in a position to tell grown adults how to parent their child. Tell her to go to college and make something out of herself, and not to get knocked up at 18

I feel for her, but don't you go impersonating her guardian. Could get you into trouble with the law.
You'll have to try to find out why she's ashamed of her parents. Perhaps it's something easily addressed with them, in a subltle way, and fixed.

Unfortunately there isn't any magic solution to this problem, it is not uncommon for any teenager to be embarrassed by their parents, and they are her feelings so she can't change them right now.
Maybe if you were to help her see things from her parents point of view she would be a little more forgiving of them. Otherwise it is a great thing that your are there to help her, but if it makes you uncomfortable you need to tell her that.

I would go with the parents, so the girl feels comfortable, but first I would have a sit down with the parents, and tell them that their daughter doesn't want them at the school meeting. This might get the parents more involved!

hopefully it's just a teenage phase because i know a lot of my friends were embarrassed by their parents at that age. i would not go as her guardian. that's not right to lie and her parents have a right to know what's going on at her school! i would talk to her and ask her what is it that makes her ashamed. best of luck :-)

everyone is ashamed of thier parents.im so ashamed of my dad its not even funny. At parent teacher confrences he says the most stupidest things possible because he is nervous. But getting you to go as her gaurdian is a little overboard. Think about her poor mother who has no idea how ashamed her own daughter is of her. dont go.
