I know it's scary honey, but you absolutely need to tell your parents. This is a huge decision in your life, and you're still a kid. You need to talk to them right away. You can't hold off. You need good medical care and it's important they know. It'll be ok. They are your parents and will know the best thing for you to do hun. Good luck and Gob Bless! If you need someone to talk to, feel free to IM me or e-mail me, okay? I'll help you any way I can!

If you are in a state where you can get an abortion without parental consent then you could look into that. But you will need support since it is not an easy procedure so make sure your boyfriend or a friend is there to help you along the way. If you go to a clinic, make sure that they take you seriously and don't tell you that right now you cannot have the procedure done. aSometime clinics do that to stall women until it is actually too late to get an abortion.
The following Web site should provide you with helpful information:

If you plan to carry out the pregnancy then you should probably tell your parents since they will probably find out sooner or later anyway assuming you continue to live with them since you will start showing.
Abortion is not a crime. It is a legal and acceptable option that you should consider seriously. Millions of women get abortions each year and they continue to live healthy, happy and fulfilling lives.

Oh my, first get a pregnancy test to learn if you are truly pregnant.
If not, your troubles are over.
BUT DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE AGAIN!
That stupid, selfish boyfriend of yours needs to have a swift kick in the *ss or his balls.
Okay, if you are indeed proven pregnant by a test or doctor, you are going to need help from an adult. If you are too scared to tell your parents go to an aunt or some other lady you trust. It could be an uncle or a good man but a lady is more likely to be helpful. Tell her (or him) and maybe she will go with you to talk to your parents. Having someone there with you will be comforting I would think. You can't hide it from your parents for long, it will start to show sooner or later.
The boy and his parents need to share in the responsibility for this.
It is not just your problem.
My heart goes out to you. I shall put you on my prayer list.

Dear Gentle Spirit, First, just how far along are you? You know you can't keep it secret for the whole term - you need prenatal care if you are going to have the baby. If you are thinking of terminating, you need to do that as soon as possible. I don't know your parents, or how understanding they will be, but I do hope they will help you thru' this. Be aware, also, that you will need to have a gynocological check up. Now that you are sexually active you must protect yourself from all the sexually transmitted diseases - including HPV and cervical cancer. Hopefully, none of these is a problem. Perhaps you could ask your parents for a 'check-up' at your regular doctor and take it from there. It would give you an opening for discussion and ??? I wish you the best. Be Blessed.

ofcourse you should tell them it not like they wont figure it out sooner or later..... you need to stop thinking about you now.... be a big girl and take responsibilty..... If your old enough to make the decision to have sex and get pregnant then dont you think your old enough to take the consquences that come along with it....

You need to tell them before someone else does. wouldn't it hurt your parents so much more if they found out through the grapevine?? Tell them NOW!! They will still love you

yes, they will probably be mad if you tell them...but when you start having sex, you need to start going to the gyno and getting tested and stuff...
i would sit them down and say something like "id really like to go to the doctor to make sure everything is ok since ive been having sex". i know it sounds straight forward and scary but theres no way around it.

you'll have to tell somebody, maybe his parents first. If he isn't working he needs a job now. no matter what happens it's gonna cost $$$. good luck, don't do anything stupid, take care.

Tell your parents...have his parents and yours together and you and your boyfriend should tell them at the same time.
