- All you can do for your friends is support them during this time. This specific friend is clearly not in a good place if they think a pregnancy will keep someone around, but it’s not your place to make decisions for them—all you can do is offer advice.
- Recommend that your friend speak to someone with more life experience who can share more insight on the situation.
- Express concern for your friend. Tell them you’re worried that they may not be making the decision for themselves, and that it’s their body that has to go through having a baby.
- Anything could happen, it may be tough to discuss but a conversation on the role the baby’s father might play could be helpful.
- Remember that your friends won’t always take your advice. Try to find different ways to express concern without judging or preaching to them—in this case, people are less likely to consider your advice and will do what they want in the moment.
