My friend is 14 and pregnant, how can I convince her to just put the baby up for adoption?


baby adoption
Barbie! asked:


She lives with her aunt and uncle and they don’t even care what she does. Besides she actually has a boyfriend who is off in the military right now. He told her she could see other guys while he is gone as long as she doesn’t fool around with them. So I don’t think he’ll be too happy when he gets back.

    DO NOT CONVINCE YOUR FRIEND TO PUT HER BABY UP FOR ADOPTION THAT IS WRONG OF YOU ! THATS HER FAULT FOR SLEEPING AROUND WITH THIS GUY AND IF SHE IS NOW PREGNANT THEN HE NEEDS TO KNOW AND LET HIM FIGURE OUT WHAT HE THINKS SHE SHOULD DO!

    Get off her nuts and let her do what she wants. It’s her baby, not yours, even if y’all are really young.

    Show her someone who has had a kid. Let her talk to them. But i really dont think its your choice to tell her what she should do.

    I think she should keep the baby. She should of kept her legs closed then! Don’t take it out on the baby and put it up for adoption because when that baby gets older and finds out he or she was adopted and trys to find the mother and finds out why she put it up for adoption that is goin to hurt the child!

    my parents had me while they were in high school and my mother ended up leaving me.
    Tell your friend that a baby requires a lot of time that you dont have while you are in middle school (or high). You would have to put the child in day care. And the crying at night– What about the baby’s father? Is he willing to be with the baby, to take care and help raise it? Besides, she should get an abortion if theres still time. because its not right to try and raise a child when you are a child yourself.

    and everybody’s right, its her fault and its HER baby.

    I know that having a baby at such a young age is not a good thing. But really what gives you the right to try and convince this girl to give up this baby. Your friend is going to be so confused and stressed right now that she really does not need someone trying to convince her to do something so life changing if you really consider her a friend then listen to her support her and offer her advice but don’t ever try and convince her to do something like that its her own choice and she is the one who will have to live with it not you.

    this is very hard to deal with. appearently, telling her right from wrong or explaining the consequences is not going to help now. As a best friend, you should be with her and help her make those descions. If her aunt and uncle dont want to watch out for her,then maybe you should step in, but thats only if your extremly close to her. She is probably just going to want to keep the baby,. I dont know your friend , but she seems like she is not ready to be a mother becasue she is immature, careless, and all she wants is to have fun. She is not going to have fun supporting a child, living off the streets with no job no money and no house :( In the future she will probably look to you for financial support or somehting if she dosent get her life straitend.You should try to give her a reality check or something. and if she keeps the baby then you should help her out on future desicions so that she makes no more mistakes. The other option is to simply walk out on her. It would probably be best for you. :(((

    wow… just wow.

    He was wrong to tell her it’s okay to date as long as she didn’t do anything, what’s the purpose of dating then? More importantly, he must be at least 18 to be in the military, not only should 18 year olds and fourteen year olds not be dating, He is in the military, that is a HUGE deal to them. As for her, I don’t know how to convince someone to give up their baby, you can look into adoption stories, talk to a social worker they might be able to give you some advice for her. I dunno…
