Give the chap a break, he's here asking for advise, not a lecture.
My friend went through what you are going through now, the best thing to do is tell them as soon as you can and feel ready, the sooner the better so it won't be too much of a shock to them. Try not to be scared of what they might say, your parents should understand and be there for you in the future.

Your going to be a father. Your a man now! You got to sit them down and tell them your going to be a father. It's just all getting started and it is very scary at any age to suddenly find out you are going to have a baby.
This is a big step in your life. You can make this the best thing ever or you can wig out and make it a total mistake. Even tho you are young this is something good that has happen .Could of happened a little later but what's done is done... Don't be scared. Be happy you are going to be a father. Now it might not sound too fun but this is good and a blessing. Be happy. Make the best out of it! When the baby is born and you look in that little face and see your eyes all fear is out the door!
Since you are still in school maybe you guys could get married and live at home for the next few years.
Good Luck
Don't freak out! Just tell them

The best thing to do is to tell your parents. You have nothing to fear but fear itself. Inevitably, your parents are going to find out, and they may react very differently than you would expect if you ask to speak with them and your girlfriend all together as adults in a calm environment before the situation may cause estrangement and hurt feelings by them not knowing up front. Ask them for their support and advice. You may find they are very different people than you expect if they are approached by both of you in a mature fashion. Being 16 has little to do with this issue: It is the way you present it that really counts. Parents can be very understanding if approached as adults from adults meaning you and your girlfriend. Everything will work out. Try this, and I believe it will work for you. Fear will only destroy and divide.

Tell them now. Your parents will probably surprise you. They may lose it right at first, but the bottom line is - the baby is a reality and you need their help right now. I would be very surprised if they just turned their backs on you. You are going to be a parent now, and your responsibility is to your future child. You're too young to handle that alone right now. The responsible thing to do for your child is to get your parents help now.

humm well when you and your girlfriend had sex you should have known the consquences of doing it. but whats done is done. if you were mature enoughh to have sex then you are mature enough to tell your parents you got your girlfriend pregnant. i cant imagine how i would tell my parents and how they would react. but anyways just be straight forward with them, he parents are probably going to be the ones that react more.. but who knows
well i wish you the best of luck
and just tell him now! oh but make sure they arent in a bad mood or anything. try and make sure they are calm before you tell them becasue this IS big news and they have the right to know. better if they hear it from you them someone else dont you think?

Hi! It's hard to talk to parents sometimes, especially with something this big. Maybe you could go to your local Pregnancy Center with your girlfriend. They have trained people there who can help you make a plan with how to talk to your parents, or even be with you when you tell them. They care a lot about people and know how to discuss this openly and calmly. Give it a try...could make things a lot easier on you all!

they may not believe you or her and demand a dna test... but stick with ur girl! she will need you most at this time. tell ur parents and they may just be really supportive... just casually bring it up in a conversation when you talk about ur gf... just be like... I got her pregnant... im so sorry but were keepin it(or not). and definately reassure them that you will stay in school and take full responsibility for the child and what you did.(and follow through)

You should not be as worried as your gf,she's a girl and it's a whole lot worse to tell your parents that your pregnant as a girl.You did it,so now you have to tell your parents!I'm not trying to be mean but it's the truth.

Just make sure you are able to handle this baby (which im sure that you are). But let them down easy and don't seem nervous, just tell them that you are responsible and are willing to love and take care of this baby. Good Luck!
