Here are some comments other girls have made:

"I was 15 when I had my first and 17 when I had my second. Kids are diffently a struggle in life but a good one. I put my second daughter up for adoption cuz I know it was the best for her! Life only gets harder choose what's better for u kids not u!"

"Be strong, make smart decisions, and most importantly, believe in yourself."

"First I would ask her to look at both the good and negative sides of her situation. Then I would tell her to make sure she is mentally and physically prepared, because it is not an easy thing being pregnant . Or I didn't I thought so to say the least. Be there for her and comfort her, letting her know that everything is okay. And no matter what I'll be here for her."

"If I found out my friend was pregnant, I would simply say, "I wish you could have been more careful, but that doesn't change the fact that you're pregnant now. Everyone makes mistakes, but maybe this one wasn't a mistake. I hope you are ready to take care of a child, and if not, that you will find the perfect adoptive family. I hope your parents know, and if they do, there will be no reason to yell at you, because it's not going to change anything. Don't let anyone put stress on you, because it's just hurting you, and your little angel. I'll always be here for you, like I always have. I love you."

"i would tell my friend that there are a lot of opinions and she should make  the one that best suits her :) "

"To be the best mom she possibly can.Dont give up so easy because you have someone new in your life who will always be watching you and counting on you.But at the same time enjoy being a mother because once you realize you gave birth to your very own child you will love her/him more then anything."

"Its gonna be a hard time, with hard decisions, but I know you can do this and I'll always be there for you."

"I would tell her to be strong and lets try to find out for sure and get to a doctor but we would have to tell her mother first and I will be there for her all the way."

"I would suggest she tell her parents and her parents will help her as I pregnant at the age of 19 years old I did told my parents and my parents agree to let me marry..."

"well, when i was 15 when i first got pregnant and my boyfriend 15. I was actually really scared the first time i found out and didnt exactly know wat to tell my parents. I figured i had to tell them soon so i told my parents and i told my boyfriend he would have to Too! It was really hard coonsidering i found out on my ultra-sound that i was having twins !! Beautiful baby girl twins by the way. My parents and his were not to pleased...but they helped me and him. My parents weren't mad at me they were just DIsappointed and that really hurts too. I am now 19 years old and my boyfriend 20, and we are still together, have two beautiful baby girls. I love them with all my heart. And we all got through everything ! Don't be a fool Wrap the tool. ;)"

"i would say if you need help taking care of your baby i would help as a good friend"

"I'd tell her to make the best decision that she thinks is right for her and her baby"

"Just tell your parents!"

"Me, myself would say... everyone makes mistakes, your not the only one. Ive been through many other things with you and not turned my back yet and now that you've messed up im not going to now. i don't agree with the situation but will never let you down. i love you just like any other."

"Believe n yourself,be strong,and most importantly know that I'll always b here for u..."

"I personally think that getting pregnant at a young age is not that bad. Don't get me wrong, because it is a life changing event. If one of my friends got pregnant at fifteen years old, i would tell her to make the decision she thinks is best. If she decided to keep the baby, i would be by her side 100%. I would tell her (if she kept the baby) just to make sure she still goes to school and does what is right as a mother for the child. I would help her, and guide her. I know how to raise a kid, being only 15 because i helped my parents raise my brother who is now three years old. He is healthy and the most adorablest thing i have ever seen!"

"If Allie was to be one of my friend i would try to be there for her help her out like if she was my sisters if she dirent have her mothers and father's support i would be helping her no matter wat..  I've hade thes experience ones my mother had put me down wen she found out that i was pregnant..  my sister was the only one by my self and i loved the weii she would make me laugh alot . Know thes is somthing I'll do to help her and to see a smile in allie"

"My friends Keala and Cynthia got pregnant over the summer. And they was scared, so i told them thats its alright your friends your true friends and family would be there for you. SO if your pregnant go to your friends and see if they would be a true friend and be there for you through your pregnancy."

"i would tell her that im always going to be by your side.. ill be there through anything and everything with you if you want me to then i would tell her no matter what i love her she is my sister.."

"I would tell her to consider the options:adoption or raising the baby and taking care if the baby or abortion. But then again I would tell her the good and the bad. The good: You will have a beautiful child. The bad:your education,money,relationship problems. I would tell her too do whatever her heart is telling her."

"i was 15 and pregnant too. My daughter is 3months old now. i want to tell her that no matter wat happens everything will be okay!(; i have my daughter on the week days and her father has her on weekends. So at least he helps me out! i go to adult ed. so..im gradute soon. its hard but dont give up. everything will fall in place."

"im 16 and im pregnant.im about to havemy baby.At first i thought a baby would be easy .i didnt look expensive. Now my boyfriend got two jobs and we see a baby needs lots of things.it is expensive and at first we thought we were ready but actually we realized we wer not at all!! WE went through alot when we found out i was pregnant.When my friend got pregnant i told her to try her best in being the best mom and to not let no one put stress or get you sad because it hurts the baby inside your belly. a year later i called her and askd how her baby was and told me that her mom didnt want her to keepthe baby so she gave it away to her sister."

"i would be like its ok.  You are not the only one to get pregnant and your true friends and family will be there with you through it all. Just look at your options and make the best decision that is right for your situation."
