What to do with a pregnant teenager?
My 15 year old cousin is the typical stubborn type of girl you see on the Maury show on Saturdays , she refuses to listen to anyone and on top of that she hangs out with these ghetto thug gang banging wannabes who talk her in the doing pretty much anything.
Today she came in my room pleading for help ,telling me that she was pregnant and needed money for some type of abortion pill, I’m completely fed up with this crap because I’m 19 and I’m already working 24/7 because of this economy , and the last thing my parents need is some hard headed teen in the house , and trust me she will do this again she’s not even in high school yet so this is only the beginning. How do we go about sending her somewhere? We’ve tried the police before and they were no help at all they only offer 30 day programs at juvenile centers then your child comes back ten times worse ,we’ve sent her to one of these 30 day programs before only to find out she was escaping out from the windows and through a drug test found out she was sniffing coke with one of her friends out on the streets in Miami , She was sent to haiti to live with a relative and of course a couple months later the earthquake hit ,and boarding schools are up to 4,000 a month when my mom can barely pay for the mortgage..
You would think in this economy things wouldn’t be so expensive

That sucks, but the problem is, she is the only person who can change her behavior. If your whole family is on board, you should probably do some tough love and let her know that no one is going to help her. If someone helps her and she doesn’t hit rock bottom, she is just going to continue her destructive behavior and hurt your family even more in the process. Good luck, and ya, this economy sucks!

Just ignore her!
It’s not your problem.
Try to enroll her in the Army. If you can!
Good Luck!

Have her babysit. Once she goes through the hell of a baby screaming all the time or a toddler making a huge mess.. she’ll never want to be in that situation again. Once shes done with that, realizes she dosnt need to have sex yet and if she does, she’ll end up with what she had to babysit. Make sure you explain to her, she wont get paid she’ll actually be spending money on them, not earning it, and she dosnt get to home and go back to her normal life when their parents get home, she is their parent. After that, show her what happens to little girls who decide their big enough to hang out with people like that, or be in those types of situations. Contact some people and see if you can have her talk to a woman that was raped, or a recovering drug addict. Once she realizes that those are grown up and they couldnt even take care of themselves, she’ll realize she cant either. Show her pictures of the life shes getting into, violence, gangs and such. She needs tough love and a little reality check. Once shes realized all of that, sit her down a let her know how much you love her and how much pain you would go through if somthing happened to her.
As for the pregnancy, have her take a test with you there so you can see if its true. For all you know, she could just think it cause she had sex and her period is a day late. We both know it can easily be mistaken. That and she could just want attention. If she is pregnant, planned parenthood offers free services if you qualify (its super easy to qualify) and you should be able to get the pill free.
email me if you need more help, im happy to help and offer more advice.

Send her to a place for unwed mothers. Also, Her Baby might get taken by child protection, because of her being on cocaine,
