I’m 16 and I’m pregnant. How do I tell my parents? I am really scared of what they are going to say. The daddy is only 15 so we are really scared to say anything.

Answer #1

Just tell them…no matter what life is a blessing…4 the most part she’ll just b mad you were having sex. God chose you 2 b a mom 4 a reason…its a blessing.

Answer #3

I had the same thing I’m 16 and I got pregnant a year ago I have two healthy baby girls the daddy is 20 so that sucks I knew my parents wore going to make me have an abortion so I waited until I was three months pregnant that’s when I found out I was having twins I got my now husband to go and tell them my mom toke it really well she made me show her my belly I was kind of surprised but my dad was really pissed sadly he didn’t talk to until he saw the pictures of he’s grandaughter’s then he went all out gooy if I wore you I would wait just a little bit longer then tell them. Good Luck

Answer #4

Did you have the baby? And how is everything going? Did your parents understand?

Answer #5

make your boyfriend tell your parents that he impregnated you. This will solve your problem of telling your parents and the problem of dealing with the father.

dont let you parents make you abort the baby. abortions are very detrimental to a human mind.

giving the baby for adoption is a good plan.

Answer #6

If you are scared about telling your parents about you are pregnat then you should tell someone you are comfortable with. But if you see your parents alot then you should tell then because pretty soon they will start noticing. They also milght get mad at you for not telling them but itis your choice.

Answer #7

Well to be honest actually you can get done for rape because its classed as underaged sex as the fther is only 15 however i think you both should get ball of ur parents togethger becuase its alot easier if you just tell them all together than having to tell the girls family then ther fathers.I know you must be really petrified but you are goin to have to tell them soon because thier is alot of planning to do for a baby.As you cant go through 9 months of carrying a baby on your own you are going to need support and alot of care so the baby is perfectly healthy

Answer #8

you need to tell them im really close to my parents and I know how parents would feel about that topic its not right you neeed to stopp “doing it” and get on the right track cause I know if I would do that id be in military camp right now so just connfess and dont lie parents love it when you tell them inportant stuff like that they are your parents they are the most inportant part of you your mom had you you are part of them so confess

Answer #9

what’s done is done.

the best action you can take now is to confess. be ready for one hell of a storm. give your parents time to let it sink in. give them time to forgive you (if they believe its a mistake) and give yourself time to forgive yourself. do not lie to them and instead of getting angry at them for being angry at you and go off topic, focus on the matter at hand. what’s most important now is not what you shouldn’t have done but what you should do next. let your parents know that.

Answer #10

I waited 9months to tell my mum so dont make the same mistake! remember she cant make you do anything you dont want 2 do she just has an opinion 2 it

Answer #11

I would take them 2 a nice dinner and break it 2 them and then say that i am sorry and that i want to keep the baby and so does the father of the baby.and if they take it bad i would say it wasn’t my fault or I am happy about it and i think i can support this and r u with me on if ur not that is o.k i understand it i am ssooo sorry mommy and i am sorry daddy i didn’t no until it was 2 late those r sum good ideas about breaking it 2 ur parents 2 of my couzinz got pregnant and they r 14 and their parents understood it and i think that ur parents would understand it 2 and does ur bf no??if he doesn’t take him with u 2 the resturaunt and break it 2 him i bet things will b o.k. i promise u have 2 stay confident and know that u r going 2 b supported by every1 that u know no matter wat and if u need anymore help i am there 4 ya i sware it!!No matter wat i am always there 4 ya!!!i will b ur frined if u will add me!!!

Answer #12

i have the same problem , except the daddy os 18 , and i am afrais if i am pregnant then my mom would do something she would regret . i am scared , what should i do ??

Answer #13

Dear sweetie you need to tell your parents right away. You need to go get check ups,and I hope that the father of your baby will help you out. I sorry that this is so short but you really need to get the help that you need.

Answer #14

dont worry talk calm sit her down hold her hand (“mom im pregnant”)

Answer #15

im am in your situation. IM 16 and 5 months pregnant…the father is 15 as well. I told my mom when i was 3 months. She was angry with me…but i told her that we used a condom but it broke, and that i was so sorry for dissapointing her. I also said to her that she cant turn her back on me becuz right no i really need her and im her daughter so she cant just shut me out. After we talked she started to calm down…yes she is dissappointed in me, but she loves me no matter what. Dont listen to olivermellan…having the babys father tell them is a horrible idea. Your parents would be more angry with u if your bf told them. You need to tell them yourself. Telling them yourself will make you seem mature and responsible…and they would take you more seriously. Good luck…i hope all turns out well.

Answer #25

same here I was 15 and got pregnet and the dad is 18 me and my father were very close and when I told him he didnt talk to me until his butifiul 5 lb 6 oz grandson waas born me and the dad are together and live together we klove the baby

Answer #26

First of all, you should definately tell your parents about this. It is extremely necessary that you be able to trust them and they can help you through this. Plus, they are sure to find out once you start showing and it is better to tell them yourself.

It is probably best to leave the father out unless it is brought up. If it is, try not to use names and explain that what you are doing is really hard and complicated. If your parents get angry then try to calm them down by explaining that it was an accident and an extremely irresponsible thing to do.

I am hoping you will not get an abortion, but sometimes that is the only answer. If you are not going to do this then choose the right thing and set it up for adoption so that he/she can have a better life.

I hope everything is going to turn out all right.

Answer #28

In a situation like this, the sooner you tell them the better it is for you, your baby and for your family. The faster they know you will be on your way on recieving prenatal care to deliver a healthy baby. Try not to focus on your age at this moment, you are already pregnant and what’s done is done, just focus on calmly discussing with your parents your future decisions. Try to show your parents that you are willing to get help and ready to take care of your baby (if this is the case). The best thing to do is get it done and over with. The sooner you do the better you will be.

Answer #29

I would sit down and talk to to the father and them after I had talked to him I would sit down and then tell my parents togather. I mean you have done done it so there’s no turning back now, so I would go ahead and tell them because you wont be able to hide long they will see your belly growing. Everybody’s parents are diffrent nobody know how thier going to take it but if they love you they sould support you and the father and baby, they might be a litlle upset at first but it should past in a lillte while.

GOOD LUCK!
