Im from a small town in PA and i did something embarrassing and now the whole town is gonna know about it!?

Question

My parents are Christians and sometimes i sneak out to partys-well,the other night after drinking too many beers i slept with a guy for the 1st time im praying that im not pregnant but im too embarrassed to go buy a pregnancy test from the pharmacy coz my mom is good friends with the pharmacist...i feel soooo bad for not saving myself !! I cant even work up the guts to tell my parents-i mean, how do u tell conservative (hymn singing) parents that u lost ur virginity! SUMWUN HELP ME PLEASE!

Answer 1

Heck, my parents are Christians too, and I did get pregnant...Even at the age of 23, I waited until I was almost 7 months along to tell them...A word of advice, wait until you find out if you definitely are pregnant, but if you are, tell them as soon as you can, all it does is disappoint your parents if you don't...God Bless...If you're not let this be a lesson, and don't do it again...believe me you're not ready for this kind of responsibility...live life and have fun!!!

Answer 2

First of all, what's done is done. I don't know how old you are, but if you can drive or have a friend who can, go out of town, like the person above said, and you can get a test there. But until you miss your period, it is not necessary. I would get checked for STDs, though.
I am more worried about your reputation and even more so about your self esteem. I am a Christian also, but not until I was an adult. I made a lot of mistakes as a kid, and did a lot i later regretted. All I can say is, what's done is done, and remember to be more careful in the future. If you must drink, stay with a girl friend you trust so you will not be alone.
If you end up being pregnant, just tell your parents. My daughter is a preteen, and I like to think that she would tell me if she was having a problem, even if I didn't approve.
Talk to someone you trust, and good luck and God Bless.

I, too, am from a small town in Pennsylvania. I was born in Pottstown, grew up in Spring City, lived in Mont Claire and Phoenixville and short periods of time in Downingtown and Coatesville. And as I see from your nickname, you already know the solution to this dilemma: I live in Boulder Creek, California, now.

And as to your second question about telling your parents you have lost your virginity: don't. Just don't. If it turns out you are pregnant, you will know eventually, even without going to some other town to buy a pregnancy test. In which case, I suggest you contact friends in California and start saving your money for a Greyhound ticket. You do have friends in California, you know: see my 360 page, for example.

P.S. How old are you? If you are under 16, I could get in a whole lot of trouble for offering to help you.

Answer 4

First of all, calm down. There is no reason to run and tell your parents anything unless and until you really think you might be pregnant. Wait until at least 1 week past the due date of your next period, then go to your nearest Planned Parenthood for a pregnancy test.

If you are pregnant, then you have do act like a responsible adult, and tell all the involved parties what is going on. You will have a lot of very complicated and morally wrenching decisions to make in a very short amount of time. Was is really worth it? Teenagers do a lot of really life-altering things just to prove to themselves that their parents are wrong. You will have to accept their wrath and disappointment because you deserve it. They have done their best to lead you down the right path in life, and you have ignored their admonitions. You have failed to keep the commandment of honoring your father and mother. Yes, there will be shame if you are pregnant. Your parents tried to save you from it, but apparently you were too smart to listen.

Everyone makes mistakes, and I hope you will learn from yours. Then sincerely ask God for forgiveness, and believe that you deserve God's grace and mercy. Pray that God's mercy will save you from your own stupidity, and resolve to do better for yourself in the future. Don't let the intoxication of a few beers lead you to make mistakes that you will have to live with forever.

Answer 5

I hear ya! I lived in PA. no one ever moves in or out of their town.
Don't tell your parents. C'mon, who tells their parents about their sexual life, unless you hapen to have open-minded cool parents, which yours are not. Take a trip out of town and get a pregnancy test. You should also, while you're there, find out where the Planned Parenthood office is, and get a test for Sexually Transmitted Diseases. They can also give you a pregnancy test. All tests will be free and anonymous. Don't choose a town where everyone is a puritanical Christian. Go to a big town. And don't vote Republican or you would not be able to do these things.

Answer 6

If you're due for your period soon just wait and see if you get it, then if not have a trusted friend go buy you a test. If you feel the need to tell your parents just say "I did something I'm not proud of and I really need you to be understanding about this because it isn't easy for me..." Pray about it. If you're not pregnant then it's really up to you whether or not you tell them, but be more careful and always use protection if you're gonna have sex. You could ruin your WHOLE life for one night of sex that you'll probably soon forget. God Bless.

Answer 7

awww sweetie, i am so sorry, but everyone will sin at some point and you know being a christian that GOD will forgive this sin. you really sound truly sorry about it. do not worrie about a pregnancy test yet unless you are late. and if you are i would ask a close friend to pick one up for you at another pharmacy. do not tell your parents about this unless you are pregnant! or it will worrie them and they may not let you out of the house for years! i am christian also, but i feel my sin is between only GOD and me. you more than likley are not pregnant so try not to worrie, stress can make you late. now pray about it and do not do that again, i dont think you will , but you must forgive yourself as well.good luck ,and GOD BLESS

Answer 8

Find someone to buy the test for you if your worried about buying it yourself. I'd worry more about an STD. Drinking is never an excuse for having sex with someone. Be careful and good luck.

Answer 9

See if a local clinc will allow you to come in to be tested. The local health departments are free. Or have a friend go buy one for you.

Answer 10

Dont tell them.You are just freaking out.Dont worry about having to buy a pregnancy test unless you miss your period.Chances are you are not pregnant.
