Helping a friend who made a mistake?
You might remember me from awhile back, I asked a question about my friend Carly and how she went to a party, didn't come home on time, and I told her sister where she really was and she ended up having to break up with her boyfriend.
Anyway, that's not the point. That night, while Carly was at that party, she got really drunk and her boyfriend took advantage of her and had sex with her. Now, her period is really late and she thinks she is pregnant.
I already "bitched out" her ex-boyfriend for taking advantage of her like that. He is a jerk and I can't believe Carly EVER trusted him in the first place.
My question is, though, how can I be supportive of my friend at this time without being harsh and telling her she's stupid for getting herself in this situation? I'm sure she knows she messed up and she's worried enough as it is, so I don't want to make things worse for her than they already are. I told her to go get a pregnancy test and if it comes out positive, then she should make a doctor's appointment (which her ex WILL pay for) to make sure it is correct.
I want to be there for my friend at this difficult time. What else can I do to help her out?

Well, I'm guessing it's too late for her to take the morning after pill. It's only effective for 3 days after you have sex. Tell her to take a pregnancy test & if it's positive, she should probably tell her parents, or get an abortion. Also, she should sue this kid because he raped her.

it seems like you're doing everything perfectly right =) be with her when she takes the test, so she knows for sure you're there for her. if you want, you guys should go to planned parenthood.. they have tests there and could help you =) now i'm not sure if you need a parents or not, so just look up your local planned parenthood, and go and talk with them about taking a test.. or just buy one at the grocery store =) also, tell your friend not to worry, because that's what makes your period late.. good luck to the both of you!!
