i'm 16 and just found out that i'm going to have a baby how should i tell my parents?

Question

my parents told me that if i got pregnant they would throw me and make me live with my boyfriend. how should i tell them

Answer 1

I take it you plan to have this baby. Good for you!! Now please tell them as soon as possible. They will get upset of course, rant and rave maybe but they love you and will help you. Parents make a lot of empty threats when they think their children are misbehaving behind their backs. I'm sure they won't throw you out. God Bless you and your baby.

Answer 2

WOW, you have harsh parents. Most of the time parents don't react the same way that you expect they will when it's a reality. At the age of 16, if you really think you're parents are going to be that angry, you may want someone like a social worker or pastor to give you advice on what to say and mediate and keep things civil. This is not a time in your life when you need to be physically hurt, extra stress or to feel put down or like a dirt bag. You need protection, nurturing and emotional support. If your parents won't give you that, you may not want to be living with them through it. Geez, I'll take you in if you need help. A baby is a gift from God and a beautiful miracle regardless of your circumstances. Congratulations! That's what you need to hear even though that may sound a little crazy. It is still something to celebrate even if some people you love don't share it with you. Giving birth is one of life's greatest joys, I'm not saying that it's easy but with plenty of help and care you can be a great mom at any age.

Answer 3

It's not like you're going to be able to hide the fact that you're pregnant. You should just do the right thing now and tell your parents. Putting it off will only make it harder on you and them. Your best chance would be to be honest with them. If you don't want to move out with your boyfriend, tell them. What else can you do? 16 is so young, you can't (well shouldn't) go through this on your own.

Answer 4

I can tell you from experience that its hard when your parents are not there for you. My dad is here but my mom told me if I was to ever get pregnant by a black guy that I would be kicked out the family....I did and she has not talked to be sense she found out I was pregnant which was about 4 months ago now (Im nine months), Im 21 and I know it has nothing to do with my age. Does most parents say they will kick there kids out....yes do most of the parents do it...NO. Im not going to sugar coat it for you.....your parents are going to be hurt, disappointed, and upset.....will they still love you???, of course. I think that you just need to sit them down and tell them staight out. Tell them you are scared of how they will react but you feel that you have to tell them because its only right, then just say Im pregnant. just try to prepare yourself for whatever happens. You need to tell them asap, the longer you wait the harder it will be and the less time they have to cope. Also Ive seen a few answers about getting an abortion...dont listen to those people (I feel a women has a right to choose and if you want to them thats up to you) you need to do what you feel right with and if you dont want an abortion then dont get it just because others want you too. Also I would talk to your boyfriend and make sure he knows that could happen if you tell your parents. Anyway I wish you the best of luck and remember do what you want dont do what others may want you to do with your baby.

Answer 5

Use the band-aid method. Just do it as quick as you can and hope for the best. I have seen a lot of teen pregnancy with the same circumstances and 90% of the time the parents change as soon as they think about it for a while.
Do not ever expect a social life after words though. Your parents will probably ride you pretty hard while you're living with them.
People have got to be more careful, good luck to you

Answer 6

I'm sorry to hear that I have had a few friends in those situations. They asked me the same thing and I'll tell you what I told them. Your parents might say they'll throw you out but they won't that's just what they to make you think before you do something. Tell your parents..tell them that your scared and your sorry..let them know that by kicking you out it wont solve anythnig it will make the situation worst. If they love you and I'm sure they do they will be disappointed but they will think of something with you. My mom told me she would kill me but I know she wouldn't she would be disappointed tho. What would hurt your parents more is if you didn't confess. Tell them and if you can let me know what happens.. GOOD LUCK

Answer 7

Tell them that you've been a bad girl. Too bad for you cause you wouldn't have been in this position if you'd just listened for once.

By the way, it's not likely that your current boyfriend will put up with you for the next, say, two years. So good luck now.

Answer 8

you May be surprised. Tell them SOONer than later. The same happened to my 16 year old sister. My parents were mad...but helped immensely. The baby is now 13 years old and my parents really enjoy and love her.

Answer 9

talk to them in a good way they are your parents, you fail them,then move on.Anyway you will not do it again would you?
how about your boyfriend,does he supported you at all times. If not,leaved him you don't deserve him. Good thing you have a baby, parents can't lived everyday because of the guilt. If they found out they;ll just scolded you. Moved on, girl!!!!....

Answer 10

Almighty GOD has made system that every one in this world shall have to face consequences/reward or punishment of what he or she does, so you also can not escape. What ever you did was out of pleasure or blind love and you will have to pay for it. So its better to get your parents into confidence and tell every thing and regard your parents decision, no matter it will be good or bad in your opinion, but I am sure the decision of your parent will be good for your future. God has given live not to enjoy in such way but to enjoy by doing good to others. God bless you.
