Maybe give some free advice about: General Sex Questions?
Well, for me to give you suggestions as to how to get something you have to be 18 to purchase at age 16, I would be breaking the law.
The only choice she has for emergency contraception is to tell her mother. However, I don't advise this ever being used as a birth control method. (It was originally intended for women of childbearing age who have been raped or sexually assaulted.) Her mother can help her make a choice that is best for her.
If she doesn't want to tell her mom, she can go to your county's health department (assuming you live in the US) and talk to them about what her options are. It costs nothing.
As for signs of pregnancy here is a link:

I would suggest if she becomes 2 weeks late for her period to get a test. This can also be done at the health department at no cost.

The best thing to do is to contact the nearest office of Planned Pregnancy. They will know what kind of actions are available to her at this point. They can also fix your friend up with birth control, and (unless state law says otherwise) they won't tell parents.
Please do this right away. When she's able to stop worrying, you'll stop worrying, and there's nothing like the feeling of solving a difficult problem! gigi
