As a good friend I'd get her counceling because she is seriously crying for attention or I'd talk to her parents .
avalonavalon answered Saturday December 22 2007, 1:10 am: honnnnnnnestly, it's not possible to hide a pregnancy from your parents unless you don't live with them. perhaps she's lying...did you ever physically see her pregnant? or have seen her 'baby'? : I don't know. It just sounds a bit sketchy to me with the information you gave. [ avalonavalon's advice column | Ask avalonavalon A Question ]

TheAnnie answered Friday December 21 2007, 3:13 pm: that is a pretty frightning story
i would highly recomend that she tell her parents and soon because they will find out
im not only saying this for her safety but for the baby's. what will happen if she has to go somewhere for the whole day! what will happen if she cant afford all the things for the baby. the baby's health could definatly be in jepordy! so i would recomend you telling your friend to at least tell her parents. tell her if she loves that baby, she wants him/her to be in good health and be safe
and hopefully her parents will handle the situation from then on
im glad you are asking for help and i feel for you. that is a tough spot to be in. good luck [ TheAnnie's advice column | Ask TheAnnie A Question ]
Razhie answered Friday December 21 2007, 3:12 pm: She's probably lying to you.
Speak to a guidance counselor at school or, have your parents talk to her parents. On the off chance that she telling the truth that baby MUST be removed from her care or it will likely die.
However, it's next to impossible that her story is true. The hospital would never allow a fifteen year-old to remove thier child and take it home without speaking to her guardians, and I seriously doubt her parents would have missed the whole 'labour' ordeal, which ussually requires a day or two or serious recovery, even if they didn't notice her pregnancy.
If she is lying, it will be figured it out pretty quickly, and give her the help that she needs to stop this attention seeking behavior.
Take a deep breath, she is most likely telling you a story, but you should get an adult involved because it is not mentally sound of her to make such a thing up.
Think about this seriously and I think you will realize that this is purely attention seeking on her part, but it must be stopped. No matter what the truth is, your friend is in desperate need of help. Tell an adult. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
