LadyKagome answered Saturday August 14 2004, 12:59 am: Well, I suggest that you first find out if you ARE pregnant or not. From what it seems you might be. My view is that abortion is wrong, if you took the risk of getting pregnant, then you should be prepared to deal with the consequences. But that's me. You may feel differently. If you are pregnant I think that you should not get an abortion but have the baby and if then you still feel as though you are not ready to be a mother, put the child up for adoption, and make sure a good family adopts the baby. Although you may not be ready to carry a baby for 9 months, you ought to have disscused this beforehand with your friend. And birth control IS avaliable. And condoms. Sorry if I sound harsh! Email me @ lady-kagome@earthlink.net or IM me (AIM) @ Xo LadyKagome oX if you need anymore help!

MummuM answered Friday August 13 2004, 10:38 pm: While first off, you need to find out if your pregnant or not. So, buy a kit and do it. Then if you are (I hope your not, good luck!) you chould always give the baby up for adoption if your not ready. Don't get an abortion, I don't believe in them, but I guess it's up to you. Good luck hun! [ MummuM's advice column | Ask MummuM A Question ]

TheLovex8 answered Friday August 13 2004, 4:30 pm: get a home test called EPT its litterally the error proof test it says on commercials get tested and if it says positive go to the doctors and see cuz theres is more accurate and you can get an abortion befor it even forms b/c its not even bigger then your thumb right now..x0x0 Roxy and your friend has no say in it so she should shut up and you should keep it to yourself if you are just you and your parents.. x0x0 Roxy [ TheLovex8's advice column | Ask TheLovex8 A Question ]
rockchik41 answered Friday August 13 2004, 4:17 pm: don't freak out just yet. you could take a pregnancy test to see if you are pregnant. no matter what the outcome, maybe you should re-think the whole "friends with benefits" thing...or at least use a condom.

Jane answered Friday August 13 2004, 4:03 pm: *Take a pregnancy test as soon as possible. If you want the best results of if you're pregnant or not, go to the doctor. If you bore the baby, you could give it up for adoption since you're not ready..* [ Jane's advice column | Ask Jane A Question ]
alisonmarie answered Friday August 13 2004, 3:42 pm: How late is 'hugely' late? If you are more than a week late for your period, the best thing to do is buy a home pregnancy test. They only take a few minutes to let you know the result.
If you are pregnant, then you need to do some serious thinking. If you are not ready to be a mother, you are not ready to be a mother. Becoming a parent will change your life forever - it should not be something you do to make your best friend happy.
Abortion is right for some people. Giving the baby up for adoption is right for others.
Chances are, you'll need to be brave enough to sit down with your parents ASAP; if you decide to have an abortion, you have to have it fairly early in the pregnancy.
There is a lot to think about, and you need to make the choices which are best for you. Abotion will allow you to physically carry on with your life, but you'll probably need some supportive friends to lean on. Giving up a baby for adoption is a strong, wonderful thing to do - but that means you have to carry a baby for nine months. That will affect your schooling, your friendships, and your body.
I hope you aren't pregnant, as that would make this all easier. If you are not, take it as a sign that you need to have a serious talk with your best friend. The two of you need to be using at least two forms of protection so you never have to have this emotional upheaval again; you also need to talk about what you would do IF you got pregnant.
The definition of friends with benefits 'working out' does not include the possibility of becoming a teenage mother raising a baby alone, or the idea of a girl who made the tough choice to have an abortion and then was dumped by her best friend.
The first thing, take the pregnancy test. Pray it's negative. Then get yourself to a gyno and figure out the best form of birth control for you.
shelbynicole answered Friday August 13 2004, 3:33 pm: dont get an abortion. god might be blessing you with a kid. if you dont think you can take care of this kid but him/her up for adoption. but tell your parents, if you havent, they NEED to know im totally seriouse. keep asking me questions if you want to.

xXxpinky615xXx answered Friday August 13 2004, 2:57 pm: if you're 100% positive that you're not ready to be a mother and you know for a fact that you're pregnant talk to your friend about it. tell him you're not ready. the best thing to do is put the baby up for adoption. i do not believe in having an abortion unless you were raped and you have scars and bruises to prove that. other than that (no offence to what i'm going to say) it was your own fault that you didn't use a condom and got pregnant. if you do decide you want to keep the baby then do so. you're parents might be a little dissapointed because of the fact that you aren't married to this guy but just talk to them. but whatever you do do not get an abortion! if you do... like you said you have the chance that your friend might never talk to you again and if you really think about it having an abortion is killing the baby. you don't know what that kid could be. that kid could be the one to find the cure for cancer. he could be a president. that kid could be a superstar and have all young teens and kids and even adults looking up to him or her saying "i wish i could be like that" you don't know what that kid could be. don't waste a life because of your bad judgement on not using a condom... hope i helped and i didn't mean to offend you if i did in any way.

If it isnt a false alarm... tell him... and talk to him about the whole situation... grant it, it all pends on the parental units decisions too... cause they gotta kno... if they dont kno they will read u like a book and find out and be pissed as anything... go wit hwhatever the majority decides... and dont use the "It's my body" thing too much butt a couple times wouoldnt hurt... peace peace!
