What advice would you give to a girl who is legally an adult, pregnant, and knows her parents will beat her when she tells them?

If the parents cannot handle such news which is quite concerning to hear, it’s best just to tell them by phone after she has moved out that way she can avoid any physical harm.

I know of a guy who’s dad used to beat him when he was growing up. Finally he got big enough to kick his dad’s ass, which is what he ended up having to do one day. His dad never messed with him again after that. :)

I didn’t mean to post the word @$$, it just makse me angry thinking about abusive people :)

what 19.20..21 yr old would be dum.b enought to get prego to begin with? I agree her parents have no right to beat her but come on…..also if hey have beaten her many times she should have gone to the police or at least a councilor etc.

Pretty dum.b kid if u ask me…..and her partner too.

You only have to find other relatives whom your parents respect like your Aunt or Grandfather and explain so you can go with them to your place to explain to your pals, believe me they will calm down seeing you with the people they respect and would try to understand just like the person you went with did.

You need to work a plan with your man and both get a job since its your fault your in this situation and work TOGETHER and make some money enough for an appartment for now till after you have tha baby so you can get back on your feet cause having a baby is a huge responsibility and if you dont think you need to move or its not possible now and they beat you they will go to jail if they put their hands on you.

If I were her I’d arrange to have my partner support me. She’s pregnant and will need all the help she can get and so she should move in with/ find a place to live with her partner. If she is positive they will beat her then if I were her I’d take them out for a meal so they’re in a public place and tell them at dinner. That way they couldn’t hurt her, they’d know about the child and she would be free to leave after.

have another trusted adult in the room
