    I fail to see how she's been dishonest, she hasn't lied to her mum from what I can see.

    Apart from having sex with someone when she was supposed to be at book group/dog walking/at a friend's house you mean? You must use a very strange definition of the word "dishonest"!

    Its not ideal , but on a scale of 1 to 10 of things that could happen to any of us , it rates pretty low on the disaster side

    Which attitude probably explains why the UK has one of the highest percentages of teenage pregnancies in Europe!

    What good would spying have done? I don't see how it could have prevented any of this to be completely honest. :o

    Well, you might have known what she was up to and nipped it in the bud.

    God, some people act as if she is the first ever girl under 16 to get pregnant.

    There are girls who got pregnant at 15,14, 12 and even 11. And there will be many more sadly.
    Here to learn and pass on my experiences.
     Had a total of £8200 of debt written off due to harassment during 2010 and 2012.

    Please, please, please tell her not to (if she chooses to go down the abortion route) take the tablet form of abortion. I went through this at eighteen, I am 23 now, and I have to admit, I am scarred for life - it was so traumatic.

    Wish you all the luck

    No good shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted , I am sure if the girl had the time over again things would have been different.

    Its the holier then thou attitude that sticks in my throat

    Do you have children btw?
