Pregnant 4 times, at age 16. Options

[carolannexbh]

I have a friend (Jackie) at school whom I've met at the beginning of the year. She seemed pretty nice and didnt seem too different than any of us. But she recently told me that she has been pregnant 4 times and after she found out, she would call her friends and they would all drink heavily until the baby died. She also said that she would "accidently fall down stairs" as well. My other friend CC has been with her when she's done this, and says its nothing more than a ton of hard liquor, throwing up, and falling a lot.

My question: If you were at such a young age and got pregnant, what would you do?

Wow. That's about all I have to say at initial reaction. If I were her, I absolutely would not try to have a miscarriage four times. I would have spoken to my parents about getting an abortion, or at least getting on birth control pills. She needs to learn how to for herself and the potential lives she's creating.

Then again, when you say she tried to kill herself by OD'ing, you slightly have to wonder about her side of the story, what she's going through. Maybe she just made the wrong decisions. Four times. And brags about them. o_O
