Answer #1

Now, back to your problem toocute. Just sit down and give it to them straight. There is no way to sugar coat it. Be prepared for them to get very upset, but know that you didn’t mean to do this, it was a mistake, you are human, it happens to millions of people, eventually they will calm down. Don’t argue back, just let them get it out of their system, and slowly they will accept the fact that now more than ever you need their support. Agree with whatever they say at first just to keep them from getting more upset, you can start to tell them your opinions later on when they are more calm and rational. As you might guess, I’ve been through it too. We all decided it would be better not to have a baby when neither of us would be ready to give it all the things a baby deserves. I am a junior in college now, doing very well in school, and have never once regretted it. For some people, it really is the best choice. All my best to you no matter what happens!

Answer #2

just tell them,,, my parents are the strictest people alive and i just came out and told them… i just kept thinking its 2 words, just say it… it was really scary but you’ll feel better that you don’t have to hide it, even if they are mad, which they most likely be.

Answer #3

how far along are you ad you should say something before its too late how long is it b4 you turn 17 if it is not that long like in a month or few weeks themn wait until then. i am 16 and about to turn 17 next month and i think i am going to wait until then

Answer #4

just tell them its not like they can stop it now. if its done its done. i am sure you do not wsnt them to find out when your in labor. as long as your boyfriend is willing to take of the baby than you’ll be fine, but i hope you know that that is illegal and he can endure great consiquences for that.

Answer #5

First off, if you weren’t prepared to tell your parents, maybe you shouldn’t have been having sex in the first place. If you aren’t willing ot be open about sex with your parents and with your boyfriend, then you are not mature enough to be having sex yourself. Does your boyfriend know? What does he think of it? Maybe you both need to go talk to your parents so that they know that he will stick it out with you and not make you do all this on your own. What are you going to do about school? You need to think about these things and tell your parents so they can help you do the right thing for you and your baby.

Answer #6

Hell i’m 26 years old and when i told my parents i was pregnant i got “Oh how could you get yourself into this situation again”. I’m married to the father of my baby, prior to my getting pregnant my husband and i were married. We decided not to have a child for 2 years or so and i turned up pregnant anyway. People will get upset, however in the end they will do one of 2 things… support you or forget you. Your parents love you no matter what and they may suggest adoption or abortion. Discuss all the options you feel comfortable discussing with them, and see what choices you can come up with.
