Cousin & her parents
alright well my cousin is 17 and she's been dating the same guy for over 2 years... They've been through a lot... Her parents are very strict and she's been caught skipping school, meeting him @ places, and sneaking off w/ him just because her parents were so strict on her. Well now she is 2 months pregnant and her parents kicked her out so now she is living w/ her BFF. Her parents are going to force her to get married before they tell my grandma and everyone else in the family because they are too embarrassed. Then they are going to say that they snuck off, got married, and got pregnant which I think is a bunch of bull shit. Its tearing all of our family apart.. I think she should call our g-ma herself and go ahead and let her know, or if they don't it'll tear my g-ma's heart even more. I feel so sorry for her and I don't want her to be forced to get in married in a courthouse where her friends and family won't get to be there. Its really said and i'd like to know what you think about it and what I should do to keep my cousin & I close w/o tearing the family all apart.
Thanks for everything,
~Paige~

...well, marriage is something that shouldn't be forced on someone as young as a 17 year old. It should be her personal choice, even though she is 2 months pregnant it's still her life and her choice. Keeping things like this from family isn't going to a good thing and then lying to cover up the truth is going to make it even worse because you can tell by the marriage date and 8 months of pregnancy whether or not they were married at the time the child was conceived so if she is going to tell them then she needs to tell them soon. Now for you and your cousin to be close still you need to let her know that you are there for her if she needs anything especially someone to talk to... =) It's always good to have a close friend when times get hard...be that close friend for your cousin! You will feel a whole lot better by just simply being there for her through this diffcult time babe! I hope this helps...
