    Okay... this is not a post to get attention or sympathy for anything... Just advice..
    You see.. my friend is 17, and has great morals in life. She doesn't drink, smoke, party, and is waiting to give her virginity up when she gets married, or so she thought....
    To make a long story short... this guy raped her and she came to me that night.... Torn up and she was devistated.... A moth later she finds out she is pregnant... Her boyfriend finds out, called her a whore and broke up with her. She really loves this guy and they had been together since Jr. High...
    He is so stupid that he didn't even want to hear what she had to say... She is in a deep depression and I am gonna take her in and let her live with me.. But I don't know if I should tell her boyfriend the truth... I do, so he would understand, but I can't betray her and do it.. It is loos loose.. What should I do? How can I make her feel alive again?

    Thats such a hard one. I know at this moment she doesnt want to go to anyone else but you about it. Her boyfriends reaction is natural if he doesnt realize how she got pregnant. I mean, all he knows is that it's clearly not his. I think what you need to do, is convince her to see a therapist about all of this. Tell the cops! And tell her boyfriend! okay. All of that may not seem practical. But maybe you could convince her to tell her b/f. She really really needs to talk to someone about this though. Or it will eat her up inside.

    So dont take it upon yourself to tell her b/f. Maybe you could even get her permission to tell her b/f....if she isnt able to do it.

    Such a horrible and delicate situation. :-( Im so sorry

    He's probably just angry. give it time and then talk to him. but if he wont listen just leave it. your friend doesn't need someone in her life that wont believe her or support her. it will probably be a hard time for her over the next few months. have you suggested to her about filling in a report to the police about the rape or talking to a counsellor about it.

    I would encourage your friend to come clean with her recent ex boyfriend, he deserves to know what happened. Then I would suggest your friend find help, either by implicating legal justice, confessing to her parents, or finding a therapist (maybe all three). Lastly, explain to her what Bob said. Just because her ex deserves to know the truth, doesn't mean she should take him back after the brutal backstabbing without a second thought.

    She should go to the cops first. convince her of that. because rapists don't stop raping. so with any luck (sounds harsh yes) he has done it before and his DNA is in the system, they can get DNA from the baby and match it. after the ex finds out that she is taking this to court, maybe he will realize what happened

    If he "somehow" finds out about her going to the cops, he really doesn't need to know for what because if he is a good guy he will ask her and then she can tell him. that way YOU don't stab her in the back...which in my opinion wouldn't really be stabbing her in the back, you are merely trying to help. but yes, that is my advice
