What should my friend do?
I have this younger friend who's legal age already and recently, she told me that's she's pregnant and don't know how to tell her parents. The father? He's 17 years old, I already advised her way before she got pregnant that she should leave that man as he's a minor, their gap is 3 years.
She followed my advice for a while but he contacted her again telling he'll k!ll himself off if she doesn't take him back, he beg to her mother and he was crying. I recently discovered this, she didn't told me all of those things.
I advised again last January about their relationship as she told me that she doesn't like the guy anymore and their relationship is toxic as the guy is very abusive (throw things, punches the wall, etc. luckily he doesn't/never hurt my friend) so back to the story, they broke up at the end of January.
And yesterday, we learned that she's atleast 6 weeks pregrant because she told me that she haven't had her period for a while (got her a pregnancy test & serum test to be sure got the result a while ago).
So she reached out to the guy as she wants to keep the baby, the guy agreed to keep the baby and they're on good terms as the guy really likes her lol. Now, the problem is how can they explain to their parents that they're expecting a child?
Please note the complicated family dynamics as we are from South East Asia. What advice should I give? I honestly want to say to her that she should live with her parents and not the man's parents while being pregnant because as I told above, he's very abusive tho my friend is very strong willed so idk if that's a good advice. For the background: The guy is currently working, not studying. She's not working nor studying too. I really wanna help her by giving advice as I don't have any money lol and I also treasure her. Thanks!
She's weird for dating a minor in the first place. But I would guess that's not uncommon where you live. Realistically, she should get an abortion. This guy is only 17. He's abusive. He has no job and he doesn't go to school. He's definitely not mature enough to be a dad. Your friend doesn't work or go to school either. Babies aren't cheap. How is ......
