Pregnant at 16!

[anon80]

Just found out my sister is pregnant, she is 16 nearly 17, the boy ( because thats what he is) is only 16 too. They have known eachother 5 minutes ( 3-4 months roughly)

we are from a broken home, typical council estate,single mother story - I have done good, I bought my flat with my partner at 19 own 2 cars been together 5.5 years now have a little one both have jobs and some money behind us as were saving for a house, im doing well

My sister hasn't even left the country before!!!!

she is comming down on saturday - Do i give her the cold hard A word- or does she even have a side of the story, cos as far as i can see it there is only one option here- tell me your views......am I or am I not being a good sister?

Hi,

I came accross this post by accident. I can see there have been some fairly strong views on the subject.

I think it is best to just be there for your sister, assure her that you're behind her whatever her decision might be and have info ready to help her in whatever path she takes.

On the otherside, my mum had me at 17 and, with the support of her family, we had a very good life and I had a nice childhood. My own sister has just had a baby at 19 and is being well supported. And although she is not financially very secure, her and the baby are very happy.

I strongly feel that each individual has to decide what's best for themselves and their own lives, and the best thing friends and family can do is be there whatever happens.

Good luck tomorrow :)
