HannahDoes answered Wednesday June 1 2005, 7:35 pm: As much as she wants it to remain secret, you simply can not. I mean, the mom is going to find out SOONER OR LATER that she's pregnant. The Mom will want to know who it was.. and why bother lying to protect some criminal. As a friend, you need to encourage her to do the right thing.
Hope I helped

Let her make her own choices and be supportive of her the best way you know how, listen to her problems and talk to her about getting help. Other than that it's all on her shoulders.

shortiebebe021 answered Tuesday May 31 2005, 7:32 pm: ok everyone is going to find out anyway. she was raped, and that's a crime, and the police need to find the rapist. she can't just let him get away like that! she needs to tell SOMEBODY...like her mom or the police. they will find out sooner or later, and by then the rapist might have run away! your friend is pregnant, and they could do something about the baby, such as give it to another home since teens are not suitable to take care of babies (hello..school and all that? you really think they have TIME to??). you have to get her to tell someone. don't tell anyone yourself just yet. if she refuses, you will have to tell someone. she might be angry at you at first, but later she will forgive you because you did the right thing. good luck!! :) [ shortiebebe021's advice column | Ask shortiebebe021 A Question ]
