How to give support/advise to pregnant 17 year old
My friend just found out her 17 year old daughter is pregnant (due in December). So this is a VERY early pregnancy.
"J" has alwasy been an A student & is graduating high school this May. She had been on the girl's varsity team all throughout high school & involved in many extra curricular activities.
She has always wanted to work in law enforcement. In fact, she had been part of what's called "Police Explorer's" program for high school students.
She had been accepted at numerous colleges (planning on starting college in the fall) on FULL scholarships!
So now she is pregnant. The father is a high school drop out loser. She is planning on keeping the baby (who by the way will be biracial) Her mom (although devastated) is supporting her decision in keeping the baby.
The current plans are that she will graduate high school and then work full time. She will go to college in the evening....and then..
Any words of wisdom regarding teen pregnancy? Any reality checks here? Any way I could encourage her to give the baby up for adoption? Or is that WAY out of line?
Please help out here bmoms..
Thanks a bunch!
