so why are they having another test done if the first came back negative...I think there might be reasons other than what we're reading for them to have another pregnancy test done...hmmm...
No, I don't think so. Forcing your daughter to take one pregnancy test is, IMHO, unacceptable, but I could sort of understand it if they had *real* reason to suspect something. But with everything taken together, it sounds like the problem in this situation is the parents.
We start out with parents who think their daughter is pregnant because they say she's gained weight (when in fact she's pretty thin, and even if she had gained weight, there are many reasons to gain weight besides pregnancy - like water retention, etc.)
Next we move on to them forcing their daughter to take a pregnancy test because of their suspicions. Now, some of the pregnancy tests out there require it to be a certain number of days after the conception in order to give a positive result. If you'd had a contraceptive mishap on Monday, and you were worried, then a negative result on Wednesday might not be enough. You probably would want to test again on Friday, or even the next Monday, to be sure (depending on which test you use). But in this case, the parents think that she has already gained weight from the pregnancy. If that were truly the reason, then there's already been plenty of time for any test to give a legitimate negative. Refusing to accept a negative pregnancy test at this point is just wacked out denial, IMHO.
I don't know what the status of wonderbarbie's parents is, but I'm thinking that they're a bit 'off'. If they all go to the same church, and have a reasonable pastor, then speaking to him might be a very good idea. If the parents don't go to church, then speaking to her pastor would still be a good idea, I think, if only for support.
