My 16-year-old friend is pregnant?

its ok just make sure that she is a good mother to her child and everything will run smoothly and heres something that she cant do with the baby

1. go out and party

2. dont leave baby alone at anytimes if she has to take a shower make sure someone is there to watch the baby/ if she has to go to the bathroom take the baby with u

3 dont leave the baby with your boyfriend or no stranger they may seem cool but their not

Is she keeping the baby? I hope that she isn't thinking of getting married because it won't last. She is to young, and you already said he is to violent. His rights? He has the right to pay child support after the baby is born. Can he provide a better life and home for the child than the mother can? If not, she should stop worrying right now. If she intends to put the child up for adoption, he may have some kind of say in that. Telling him is totally up to the mother, but collecting child support will be a lot easier if everyone knows where he is. Don't put his name on the birth certificate.

Well, there are a number of things that determine what the Father's rights are.

1) What State your friend lives in and their laws. (Each state has different laws concerning Parental Rights, etc.)

2) Also, if the father of the baby is 18 yrs old, or older, your friend's parents can have him arrested for statutory rape.

3) Being that he is a violent person, is he still her boyfriend? (I sure hope not)

4) Is she planning to have/keep the baby? (Please don't take offense to that question)

If you can answer these questions, I'll be able to help you a lot easier and more accurate.

Thanks,

I was in a similar situation, my advice to her is to not say anything to him, because if she tells him about the baby and he dosent want it he might try to swee talk her into having an abortion but my advice is have the baby, don't kill an innocent child because the child didn't ask for this. what if her mom had aborted her. she needs to look at it from a mother's point of view. its nothing wrong with being a single parent. I am one and have been for the past 4years and me and my children are doing great, thanks to the Lord who gives all of us strength. Tell her to do the right thing.

well, first of all, the paternity of this violent guy would have to be established with a DNA test. She should maybe get an abortion because she is obviously too dumb to care for a baby, since she can't take care of herself
