This is for 26 Year Old Grandma
I really don't like your response towards her question. The father of that baby is 15, not 13. Who are you to tell her that she should get an abortion!!! That's murder! Everything happens for a reason did you ever think about that? How do you know that this isn't right where they're supposed to be. Maybe he IS the one for her. She's not selfish, she's taking her daughter's life into concideration. You're making these kids out to seem like bad children and they aren't. "They already made one mistake why encourage another"??????????? Those kids already have a responsibilty towards eachother now. If they have a second child they're still gonna have to take care of it just like the first one.

Whether someone is 15 or 13, they are still a child.
I did not tell anyone they should get an abortion, I simply pointed out that it was an option.
At thirteen, no girl should have to be a mother. It is a mistake. Of course, she has to deal with the situation she's created, but no one can say it is ideal. This, as you conceived at 13 as well, is a fact you are well aware of. It's tough enough to have a baby without being a child yourself.
I don't think these kids are bad; I do think they have made some bad decisions, however. If they've had sex and created a fetus, then it's a logical assumption to think they might continue to have sex if allowed to live together. Why compound the problem? One child is tough - why have two or three?
These kids have no responsibility to each other - their top priority is their unborn child. I'm sorry that you feel defensive, but try to take a step back.
Your child is a thirteen year old girl. Her body, emotions, and life situation are not fully developed; she's not in the ideal place to become a mother.
I stand by my advice - her needs should be the top priority. Perhaps that means going to see a third person - a counselor or therapist; someone objective needs to offer help and guidance.
