yesterday was the most shocking day of my entire life, my sister finally admitted she was pregnant, no wonder she got big all of a sudden, we never dared to ask her if she was pregnant cause we are afraid of her answer... then yesterday, the parents of her boyfriend came, they looked so formal and happy, my parents were surprise since we were not expecting any visitors... they all sat down, my parents looked very angry, sad, depressed, i couldn't tell what they were thinking that very moment, my sister sat beside her boyfirend they were holding hands when they broke the news. my father stood up went outside and slammed the door, my mother was crying.. i tried to do something but my body was so numb becuase of the news, so i just sat there looking at my mother and my sister who was now in tears... she kept explaining she wants to get married.. i perfectly understand my parents though, my sister was only 17 for cryin out loud, she's can't get married yet... anyways, my father threw my sister out for some unknown reason, all i know is that my father doesn't want to see or hear about my sister anymore, my mother keeps on crying, i can't do anything.. can anyone please help me do something?

How can your parents be so cruel? I would of never done that to my daughter. They have to know how upset your sister is for being pregnant at that age. She needs support from her family. I know my sister got pregnant when she was 17 too and my folks let her stay at home and raise the baby until she was ready to go on her own. That is there grandbaby she is carrying. Life is so difficult now adays and with it a lot of choices and not easy ones at that. You can't get between them cause it will not change anything. They have to change it and not you.

I am sure she knows that. Just don't get yourself into trouble over it. Someday hopefully your parents will have a change of heart. My daughter had a child out of wedlock too but she was 20 and the fathers parents weren't to keen on it at first and then they seen him and it all changed. All you can do is pray.
