Answer #1

been there done that…its a scary thing to go through. you have three choices. abortion adopt or keep the baby. if your keeping the baby then you have to tell your parents sooner or later. but first to make sure you are you should set up an apponintment with planned parenthood or a free womens clinic in your area. if you are write your parents a letter. thats what I did. when you know theyve read it try to wait awhile before you actually talk face to face with them about so they have time to cool down…your boyfriend and mom should be your biggest supporters through everything once they stop freaking out

Answer #2

I can understand it would be scary for you…I used to work with teenage moms. You need to go to who you feel most comfortable with first.It may surprise you that the people you think are least likely to understand do.Or Your parent’s reaction may not be positive at first but, I think if you approach them by saying “I need to talk to you and I really need you to listen to what I have to say and I really need your support right now”it might make a difference…you won’t know until you do it. If you find you do not get the support you need from them there are pregnancy support centers probably in your area (google them for numbers) they can maybe give you advice as well:) Good Luck and hang in there and find out if your reall pregnant first:)

Answer #3

what you do is talk with youre mom private because a mom is more understanding as female. . A father as man normally isn’t as understanding on issues ilke this to him 7 out of 10 times youre his baby girl so he’s not as likely to understand as to maybe youre mom would I’m no genius but, the sooner this comes out the beter so that its excepted don’t wait until the last minute I know its hard but, you have to bring this out good luck..

Answer #4

well you should find a way to sit them down and thenb break the news to them easy. but you should explain to them that you and your boyfriend are planning to get married and that you both love eachother. when I was 14 and got prenant and told my mom that was one of the hardest things that I ever had to tell her. but when I finally did it made me feel a lot better. besides you are old enough to be on your own. so just sit them down and tell them what is going on. good luck.

Answer #5

First off, take a pregnancy test.

As for the parents.. Don’t walk up to them and look sad or worried. Make it a happy occasion. Tell them with a lot of enthusiasm that you believe you are pregnant. Make it seem like a positive thing (because it is).

Just take a pregnancy test and if it turns up positive then double check with a doc. After you are absolutely sure you are pregnant THEN speak with the folks.

Answer #8
