"MY 12 year old is pregnant. FOR REAL."...

172. A teacher or counciler at her middle school should be able to borrow one from the HS

for a couple of weeks. I know my nephew had to carry one around for a couple of weeks when he was in school. He's in his 20's now and still no kids.

But it is sad that for some reason these young girls these days don't feel loved and go looking for it in all the wrong places. When they become pregnant, they think that they will finally have someone to love them unconditionally. Unfortunately it starts out that way and suddenly the kids are going through the same thing their mothers did with them. It's just a vicious cycle that can go on for generations. I've seen it in my own family. All three of one of my sister's daughters quit school and became pregnant. Her youngest was just 3 months short of graduating then miscarried which (I hate to admit) I think is the best thing that could have happened. Her second oldest has one who just turned 3. If I hadn't been there for her, I really think she would have murdered him when he was an infant. I walked in on her one day and I'm not sure what she was doing, but I could have sworn she had a pillow over his face. My sister's oldest who I thought would never have kids because she was stuck taking care of her sisters when they were little (mom and dad liked to drink and party too much to pay proper attentions to their kids) is now on her 5th child. She loves having babies. I have to respect her though because she bought a run down house, rehab-ed it and is raising her boys with their father.

So- you can't tell her what to do. She has to make her own choice in regards to having a baby, but you can give her a big dose of what she's in for if she decides to keep it. And by all means- do what others have suggested here, go after the father and his family financially.
