Who are you, what age are you, are you in the household? Frankly, I think your fifteen year old sister is going to have to give birth to a baby. Possiby can put it up for adoption if your parents are open to it. But nothing much you can do, depending on where you are in the situation, is apt to work or be possible. She's got to have a place to be and support, there's very little chance you can spirit her out and get her an abortion in New Mexico and then drop her off back at home. Or just order her some abortion pills and let her go through the process without her parents knowing what is going on. There's just no easy fix for this situation. If her boyfriend is the same age, perhaps his family can get involved also, the parents may be working things out. Not sure you can just make this go away for her. It is perfectly legal for them to keep her grounded and without social media at her present age and stage in life.



I don't know exactly what you mean by who are you. I'm her sister. I'm 21. I only live there during school breaks now.

Yeah, so far all the links and stuff mentioned here seem like they've been a dead end. Truthfully I'm also afraid of getting involved more since my parents are paying for my school and living expenses.

From what she's told me the father's parents are sort of the same as ours and neither ones want to put the baby up for adoption.

I understood you were a concerned bystander. But unfortunately, your parents have all the power in this situation, and they definitely control your sister's life, and pretty much have still got investment in yours that they could take away. What it comes down to is that very unfortunately, a child was conceived by children, and now this baby is going to be in the world. Offer your sister all the mental and physical support possible, but I'd forget the idea of helping her figure out a way to get an abortion. It just isn't going to be an option if her parents will not hear of it. Be SURE you consel her that stupid home remedies/random abortion meds ordered on line are NOT the way to go and might be fatal to her.
