Im getting worried for my 14 years old Best Friend?
Question by Billy Goon Rasmussen: Im getting worried for my 14 years old Best Friend?
I am 14 also and we have been sealed best friend since we was 12 years old and our birthday is so close to each other like only 9 days apart, I never want to see any harm happens to her. Then one day she came to me and said she will risk it to having baby at age 15 because she want to have a children at young age, I think its wrong personally, now I am so worried about her. Then later she told me that she wanted to run away to USA to other people because her parent are basically abusing her, People in USA is getting everything ready for her. One of my other best friend (guy) laughed and didn’t care if she moved and getting Raped or whatever, when I told him its such not good idea then he said, “Its not my problem” then went to his class. My Best Friend is always a “Brat” (What her mom called her) at home, and at school, she caused troubles but she will never do drugs. But she wants to get pregnant and run away. What should I do? I am so worried for my best friend, I would never allow her to get pregnant and run away.
No Rude Comment, Or I will Report.

Tell her you’re very worried about her. Pregnancy is very risky for anyone (on average, 20x more risky than being on the pill for a year), but especially so for someone who is only 15. At 15, not only is she probably not done growing, but she’s still in high school and has a lot of time ahead of her. Remind her that she has years–decades, practically, to think about babies. But right now let’s look at the running away part.
If her parents are abusing her, she should tell the police. I know it sounds scary, but the only way for her to get out of an abusive home is to tell the police. Running away is definitely not advisable. She most likely has never met the people in the US, but also there are many human traffic organizations that kidnap girls by telling them they’ll find a better life in the US. They’re then sold into a lie of slavery and abuse.
If talking to her won’t work, find an adult you can trust, like a teacher, pastor, councilor, grandparent, etc, who can talk to her and try to stop her from running away.
Good luck, Mary 🙂
