Okay, so my boyfriend's best friend's girlfriend (it makes sense, trust me. Haha) thinks she's pregnant. She's 3 months late, she's having morning sickness and she's tired all the time (which is not like her). She's too scared to take a test (she's 17) because she's pretty sure of what it's going to say.

Okay, so, she told her bf (obviously) and he told my boyfriend (since they're best friends) and my bf told me. Now, we all pretty much know. Not just me and bf, but like..our whole group of friends. But nobody wants to say anything, even though she knows we know.

But, here's the thing, me and her are like..pretty much the only 2 girls in our circle of friends..and I have a feeling I should say something to her. Not because she's pregnant (most likely) but because, even though she thinks she is, she continues to drink/smoke/smoke weed/take bars/pop other random pills. And, if she is pregnant, that is seriously hurting the baby..so I feel like I should say something, but I don't know if I should or not. Should I?

Sorry if it's confusing, but if you understood what I'm trying to say, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I think that you feeling like you should say something to her is very admirable. I feel the same way when I heard that my boyfriend's ex may be pregnant. It was very important for me that he showed that he was supportive of her (even though the child wasn't his) and talked with her.

It's a very scary time, and it can be very confusing. Talking to her and at least telling her that you understand and want her to make the right choices could go a long way. You could try talking to your boyfriend or her boyfriend to get input on how to go about it or when may be a good time.

I think that you making an attempt to share your thoughts with her is a great idea, even if it doesn't work out as planned (like if she doesn't like your advice or gets angry) then you tried, and that really puts you on the high road in my eyes.

Being faced with an unplanned pregnancy when you are young has a way of making you feel very alone, and having someone willing to reach out, even if just to offer some small advice, really could mean a lot to her, and I know it would have meant a lot to me when I was in her position.

Say: ey bitch, wazup?  So liek...i herd u preggers, amirite?  you passed middle school right?  Cuz that's where you learn dem drugs make your baby a nono healthy baby.

Or say: Soooooo...I don't want to sound like I'm intruding in your business but...I care about you as my friend and also about that child...drugs are killing him/her right now but not enough to kill it...per say...so um...if you plan to keep it, try to make it a healthy baby ok? :D
