any idea on how i should break it to my parents that i'm pregnant i'm 16 but i'll be 17 soon.?

Answer 1

Just explain to them how you will care for the baby and provide for the baby and how you can be responsible to meet all its needs. If you can't tell them in person, leave them a letter to read. Take responsibility for your actions. Show them you are able to be a responsible parent and so is the person who got you pregnant. Good luck.

Answer 2

No matter how you break the news they are going to be upset. The best thing you can do is come up with your options of how you are going to cope once you have the baby. Where are you going to live, how will you be supported, is the father staying in the picture, where will you have the baby, will you go out to work. Trying to sort these problems before breaking the news will probably help your parents when you break the news, waht if they don't want you to keep the baby??? Obviously a lot more to think about than just "hi I am pregnant". If the father is around I would make sure that he is with you when you break the news.

Answer 3

When I was 16 I was faced with the same problem it was hard and scary. I felt all alone with no one to turn to, but I told my parents. The truth of it is that you are a parent now and you have to act like one by first stepping up and taking responsibility for your actions. Its going to be hard and probably a lot of crying and yelling but when its all out you will fill better. A baby is a blessing, expected or not. I wish you all the best. The best thing to do is just tell them there is never going to be the perfect time I suggest starting with the parent you talk to the most.

Answer 4

Do not listen to the moron who said get a coat hanger and a bottle of liquor. Ignore him.
Go talk to your parents. If this is not a good idea (considering there are parents who are brutal in life itself. You know what I mean), I suggest you go to the most trusted adult out there. It could be a teacher, another relative, whomever you can talk to without feeling like you are always wrong or always in the wrong.
mistakes happen. Having a child is not a mistake, per say, but having it while so young while other people would love to have one of their own and cannot conceive, that is wrong.
I really hope for the best. If you have to get an abortion, that is lesson you have to face. Whichever the path you take for yourself, keep in mind,you are going to learn a hard lesson for this. But, realize, you may be the better person for it. Weigh your options.

Answer 5

Tell your parents sooner than later, because the longer you wait the more angry they will be. Secondly, do they know the father, is he a long time boyfriend, because if it is someone close they will likely be more accepting that you are not sleeping around. Be honest with them, and they will be much more willing to help you out. Don't hide anything, afterall parents have their ways of finding out the truth in the long run anyways. Also you are still very young and you need to stay in school and without your parents support this is going to be very difficult so try and let them know that you want to be successful and that you know you made a mistake, tell them that you want their support and you need them.

Try a letter, it seems horrible, but just try it. Leave them a letter when you are going to a friends house for the night, but you need someones support, and trust me it will be horrible at first, but after that they will help you.

God Bless.

Answer 6

Okay, I know how you feel I got pregnant when I was 14. I was telling my mom a bunch of lies at first and then I just went to her and told her what is going on. She didn't like what I had to say , but what can she do. Let her know how you feel and trust me it the best thing you can do because you need her there for you if you decide to have the baby. I'm now 24 with 3 kids so plz tell her it hard but you will feel relieved

Answer 7

Well my sister was 17 when she had a child and the best way to tell your parents is being honest and show them if you're happy, if so they will have no problem and will help you because I'm sure they love you so much and will love your baby as much as they can. Good Luck and Congratulations.

Answer 8

Very carefully. Make sure you have a plan and know exactly what you will be doing. Continuing your education...how you plan to support your child...who the father is and what he intends to do to take care of his responsiblities...the fact that you understand you're a baby yourself. They may even push the adoption or abortion issue with you. Be prepared for those questions as well.

Pregnancy means having to grow up... so be prepared for them to hammer you with this stuff. The better the plan, the better set you will be to be a parent.

Answer 9

If your choice is to keep the baby (I commend you) then you need to first find a good ob/gyn or midwife to initiate care. That will help prove to your parents that you can be responsible. Assure them that you will finish school and be gentle they dont become grandparents everyday. I know its scary I have been there good luck but tell them soon, the longer you wait the harder it will be for all of you.

Answer 10

I don't think mentioning your soon to be age will help. Just sit them down and prepare them . Then spill your guts,try to discuss what you have in mind to do about the situation.If you are not sure ask them for their support and guidance.Just be strong and realize that there is a third party(the father) to consider. You are going to have to make adult decisions even though you are not an adult.I'll pray for you!!!!
