How do I tell my parents?

I’m 15/16 and 3 months pregnant. My boyfriend is an older guy and I’m scared about what my parents will think. I want someone to tell me how to break the news to my parents.

No mean or negative answers please. I’d like someone with the same experiences to give me some advice.

Answer #1

Be really good and do chores and stuff then talk to the parent it closest to so I would talk to my mom, be really strong at first then cry and tell.. DO NOT SHOUT at them it will make it worse and 1 more thing- do it now

Answer #2

I told my father I was pregnant and he was actually happy about it. His thinking was that it would settle me down, and he was right. Maybe you should explain what your plans are, if you have any. Let them know you wont be giving up your dreams, especially college, they really like that. LOL. And don’t give up on it either. I waited 9 years before I could start, but I’m there now, and not only do I still interact with my father, the relationship is better than ever.

I wonder how my mom would have reacted. I can’t say I have any idea how that would go over.

Answer #3

well I’ve never experienced that. but I am your age. but they’re your parents.. and like they will always love you no matter what happens. I don’t know about you but if I was in your situation I dont want it to be full of drama and crying and hearing your parents curse.so I would take them out to a restuarant and tell them or you want to be creative and try driving them to a babys are us and start shopping for newborn clothes( pretend) theyll get the picture as to why youre there.

Answer #4

hmmm I don’t know how close you are to your parents, but I was 17 when I got prego. and I actually told my dad first. my parents and I are close but for some reason I told my dad first… and justt be straight out; you messed up. or did you plan it??? well just start by saying sorry and that you know you took advantage of the trust they gave u. because if you look at it.. you really did. well I don’t know what else to tell you but goodluck to you and your baby. its gonna be superr hard and specially cause your young.. but when ever you feel like you cant nomoree… justt look at how beautifull your baby is .. and he/she will give you strength :)

Answer #5

ye no matter what parents say…they always have your bk. But gl wit the pregnancy and tellin your rents! Hope all goes well!

Answer #6

I understand how hard this can be, im 14 and was pregant at 13, I had to abort my baby. I had no choice, my whole family looked down on me. Yea, a lot of people will call you, you soon find out who your true friends are. Dont listen to the people that say stuff, because you need support in times like this. I really think you should just listen to your heart and do what you think is the right thing. if you listen to others, you will regret your decision.

Answer #7

This is a hard thing to do,I will tell you right now,especially if you are dating an older person.. Your stomach will grow out eventually,you can’t hide it,especially when you come home with a baby in your hands.

Tell them to sit down.Then explain it to them slowly and softly. “I’am three months pregnant.I’am sorry I didn’t tell you earlier,but this is what it is.I’am going to,well,have a baby.” Whatever they ask,you need to answer it…just tell them how old you are (in pregnancy terms), and say how much you love your boyfriend,and you might need a tiny bit of support.They can’t tell you no,and if they do,talk to some one.But they will help you,I know it. Good luck hon! Go for it!

Answer #8

How older is the guy? This is really hard but really the best thing to do is just getting it out and telling them straight out. I mean you are their kid and they should forgive you. I’m sure they won’t hate you that they wont sopport you. Just tell them and get it out, meaby sit them and tell them is sirius and also accept that this was wrong. But your willing to hold on.

GOOD LUCK:)

Answer #9
