How can my friend tell her parents that she is 2 months pregnant ?

Question

She has only told me her boyfriend and her older sister and she knows how her parents can get if she told them and she is going to keep the baby.She is only 15 years old.

HOW DOES SHE TELL HER PARENTS

Answer 1

I think she should find a trusted adult to sit and talk with and ask them to mediate the scene, then make a time where everyone can sit down together, and talk it out. Obviously there will have to be involvement from the parents if keeping the baby is her plan, and she will know at this time whether or not that can happen. If they are unmoving, then she will have to find another arrangement for living before the baby comes, so better to do it now then later. Best wishes. Prayerfully she will ask for lots of help and really let the advice sink in, being 15 is really young and she needs all the advice she can get!

Answer 2

This will be the second most adult thing she will do in her life so far, which is telling her parents. I would recommend having her older sister there with her parents when she tells them. She will need to tell them, but they'll know fairly soon anyway. Most importantly, she'll need her parents permission to be seen by an OB/GYN Doctor because she is only 15. She needs to start her prenatal care immediately. Also tell her, that telling her parents will be like pulling a band aid off: do it quickly and the pain will be over for everyone, and then her Mom can help her. She'll need help. She's going to become an adult soon enough with the birth, so she must practice adult behavior now by being honest. It will be OK, she'll see!

Answer 3

She needs to come out and tell them. I can only imagine how hard it will be for her but it's going to become evident anyway.

I hope she will be able to keep the baby. Wish her luck for me and tell her to try to not take her parents upset too much to heart. When people are upset they sometimes say things they later wish they hadn't. This may come as quite a shock to them or they may simply have figured it might happen. I don't know.

But, on the off-chance that things get out of hand she needs to know she has a safe place where she can stay until things cool down, so she might need to find a friend or other family member that she can stay with before she breaks the news to her parents.

I hope this helps. I really do.

Answer 4

I went thru the same thing. My parents were very stict on me as i grew up. They only wanted what's best for me. I was a virgin till the age of 18. And of course the very first time i had sex i got pregnant. I to was 2 months preg. when My boyfriend told my parents. I was to scared so he did it. They were heart broken. My mother didn't speak to me for about 2 wks. Then we made up. Of course once that aby was born it was a whole new story for them. They fell in love with my son and everything was fine after that. I married my boyfriend and we've been married for 23 years. Your still young. Just think about your future now and continue to go to school. Graduate and make something of yourself. Education is a must. And hopefully your parents will understand and help you out. good Luck.

Answer 5

I am glad to hear that she is going to keep the baby. Have her go to the parent that she has the better relationship with and talk to them first. Have her say something like," I know that you are going to be angry with me, but I have done something that will change our lives forever and I need you now more than I ever have..." First, I would say soemthing like, Mom, remember when you said that I could talk to you about anything....then go into the change my life forever speech. Being the daughter of a woman that had her baby at 16, I am happy to tell you that my Mom is still alive, and most girls live through this. God bless your friend and I hope for her the best.

Answer 6

My mom was a widow and she was against me being with anyone when i was younger. I got preg. by a guy she didnt like and I just went to her and said mom, I know how you feel about girls preg at my age but I am pregnant and the dr just called. You can support the fact and help me as I am keeping the baby or you can deal with it. My mom was understanding and supported me all the way. It wasn't half as bad as i thought it would be. She said I am not thrilled you did this but Congrads. So just tell them or do as my friend did hand them slippers wrapped up as a gift and say open it it's for you or maybe a bib. Then after say I am preg and keeping it maybe she can find a job. Hopefully they will not press chargeson the guy. Be thier with her for support just in case. And if she needs a place to live after offer a tempory place and also see a judge about having her listed as a adult under your state with the right to have the baby and make dcissions for herself. Good luck to her! let us know how it goes please! I will add your friend to my prayer list she needs it.

Answer 7

Sit down with them and flat out tell them. They will get very upset. She needs to remain calm. She has had time to deal with this. It might help her parents if she has a plan already about how she will continue to attend school, pay for the babies needs, pay for daycare, provide transportation for the baby for daycare and doctor visits, how she will provide medical insurance for the baby, where she will live, where she will work, etc.
Good luck to your friend. Being a single mom is so hard and it is a commitment for the rest of her life. She will need your love and support through the pregnancy but especially after the baby is born.

Answer 8

She needs to tell her parents that she needs to talk to them. She can also tell them that she is comfortable if they sit down with her on the couch. Then she can tell them slowly about her being pregnant and she wants to do the right thing and keep the baby. She needs to tell them that when she turns16 that she will find a job to support the baby and she will finish out school too. She needs to tell them that she would like them to help her with the baby. Let her go from there with her parents.

Answer 9

a like'a so

"Mom, Dad, I know that when the two of you were younger and in love, you probably had great expectations about your futures. You probably fell in love the same way that I seem to have fallen in love with M_____. It was probably very romantic. You then got married and began your lives together. You had some good times and some bad times, but mostly good because here I am. Mom, when you first knew that you were pregnant, you probably ran to Dad and hugged him and exclaimed to him that 'We are going to have a baby'. Dad, you probably cried, which I know you only do when you are very happy or very sad. A little while later, you probably went to the doctor and he told you Mr. and Mrs. M_______ you are going to have a little girl. Mom, you probably cried and Dad you probably did too, for a fleeting second it was sadness, but then you imagined your little girl growing up and realized that God had given you a little angel to protect and nurture and that made you the happiest man alive...again. Then, when I was born, you brought me home and for a while wished you could send me back. right? Well, you probably realized that you couldn't and that you were glad. And as I grew, you watched as I experienced things for the first time. You loved me and you saw that your lives had been enriched a thousand time more than you thought they could possibly have been just by my being there. Then, when I went to highschool, I can imagine you watching me walk into the building for the first time and wondering what great experiences I would have in there and what great wonders of the world I would learn about and you knew at that moment that the Universe was at my disposal if only I would will to have it. You then remembered all the years leading up to that point and you wondered if you had done it right, knowing that if you had messed up anywhere along the line, my future and my life could be in jeopardy and then you probably realized as I was walking into school that day, that my future and my life was no longer in your hands. At that point, you realized that My Future would have to rely on the ability of My Present to make decisions based on the wisdom that you hoped you were able to instill in My Past. And now, you are wondering what all this is leading up to. You are probably wondering why I would come to you and tell you all of this. Mom, Dad, I cried the other day. First for fear, then for anxiety and then for the desperation that I felt when I realized that all that you have done for me and all that you have tried to teach me was lost. It was all gone, but now I have to try desperately to remember it so that I can tell my forthcoming child what a family and what a life is supposed to look like. I'm pregnant. I'm sorry. "


and then they will cry. both of them out of sadness at first and then out of anxiety and then out of joy. Because their daughter is still the most special gift that they could have ever recieved in their lives. They will wonder where they went wrong, but they will love you just the same and they will support you and help you raise you child, because that's what parents do. and that is what You will do when your son or daughter is born and grows up and experiences the world and comes to you to tell you that he or she may have done something to disappoint you.
You will love him.
He will love you

Answer 10

She can buy a pair of pink baby socks and a pair of blue ones and bring them to her parents and ask them would they prefer a grandaughter or grandson....this is such a tough situation but this is what happens when children have sex and she needs to be responsible enough to tell them if she is responsible enough to be having sex and risking the chance of getting pregnant. She flat out need to tell them but make sure nothing else stressful is going on at the moment. Timing is everything. So when they are relaxed and sitting down she needs to approach them.
