And have only started talking to her through this subject told me that she thought she might be pregnant. I didn't believe her to begin with but i think she's being serious, i'm the only one she's told. She's really worried. I tried to give her some advice, but wasn't sure what to say as i've never been in the situation. What do you think she should do. She's only thirteen and came to talk to me because she hasn't got parents to talk to as she has foster carers who she doesn't get on with and no other friends really. And she's only been seeing the father of her baby for a few weeks.

 Hi dearie,
I must say you are a very thoughtful friend and i can see from your posting that you sincerely want to help this girl.I can see she is in a very confusing situation and feels she has no one else to turn to.
First,you need to advise her to go for a pregnancy test.She can try getting one of the test kit in a pharmacy.It is necessry for her to confirm her pregnancy since she isnt sure.Once she can confirm this then she can be sure the next step to follow.
Second,please try not to get involved in any decision regarding what she should do with the pregnancy, so you dont get yourself entangled in alot of mess.if she is indeed pregnant then she has to inform her legal guardians(in this case foster carers) whether or not she gets along with them.She is still under-age and they are responsible for her. They will know what to do and how better to handle the situation.
I hope i have been able to help you abit. Take care of yourself and try to make this situation a learning process for you as well to avoid making such mistakes in your own life.
Goodluck dear.
