    But surely the Op would know if she had been in a situation where she could possibly be on her own with an older person?

    She does not have to have a regular boyfriend on the scene - it could just be someone she sees at school or meets up with when she is staying at a friends house and they 'pop to the shops' for example.
    How many of us know exactly what our kids are up to 24/7?

    Speaking personally, if my ma had know the half of it :eek: And anyone who thinks they know everything that their children are up to doesn't understand how children mature.
    .................:)....I'm smiling because I have no idea what's going on ...:)

    She is very quiet, she's just got her sisters ready for bed like she does everynight and is in her room reading now. About to have something to eat with her.

    The OP states she has limited contact with males both her age and older, so lets keep an open mind until we know otherwise.
    Here to learn and pass on my experiences.
    Had a total of £8200 of debt written off due to harassment during 2010 and 2012.

    I don't think there is any point in speculating who the father could be, it could be a whole host of people.

    It would be very very unusual for a 15yo girl to keep quite to everyone about a boy her own age, she would at least have told her friend there was a boy she fancies, surely?

    She really doesn't sound like the kind of girl who wouold do it behind the bike shed with a random boy at school, girls like that usually have a reputation that everyone know about.

    It could just as easily be the shop keeper in the shop they may 'pop to' as a boy they meet on the way.



    Not necessarily the Op has said she is very shy and there is a first time for everyone so no reputation required initially.

    Good luck with the chat about the father poppy, it won't be easy, but it needs sorting out.

    I just pray that it's a silly lad and nothing sinister at all xx

    16 weeks ago - mid February - what happened during the half-term holiday? Any special outings that you can think of?

    This is such a difficult subject for you to broach - part of you must want to shake her and scream "who did this?" - but you know that you just couldn't do that! Maybe it might be a good approach to ask her whether she wants the other party involved to know? She has already said that he would be angry - why would he be angry? ask her - you weren't!

    It might just be the key to opening the floodgates of what actually happened.
