Answer 1

You need to TELL your parents, because you need them more than anything...If you're scared to tell them write them a letter or something, or call them, or sit down with them, tell them you need to talk to them, and then if they seem upset or something, go for a walk, and then come back and things should be cooled down and everything...

I found out I was 5 weeks pregnant a few months before my 16th birthday, and now i'm 27 weeks pregnant, and the happiest i've ever been, my son is the best thing that has ever happend to me, don't rush into things with him because you think you need to marry him..


Good luck sweetie!



P.S. Don't forget to tell your parents your plan on how you can raise a child, and how when the baby gets old enough, you can go to a alternative high school that has daycare, and they will watch the baby while you go to school, becuase you HAVE to finish school, and tell them that your bf is going to get a job, and he's going to be fully responsible, they will take it easier if you tell them that you have a plan, and you're just not playing it by ear!!!

Answer 2

listen i know this must be scary for u. I am the exact same age as u. If i were u i would tell my parents in the strictest confidence its normal for them to freak out seeing as u r so young. Give them tyme they still love u no matter what i mean they will yell and there will be fights but thats the situation now as far as geting married dont do it because soon both of u will get frustrated and u will eventually get torn apart soon u will start blaming each other so wait until the baby is born and see how u feel about marriage then. its great that ur boyfriends parents want to help therefore u will not be alone but as for now tell ur parents take of urself because now u have another peron to take care of.remember u r not alone i wish u all the best email me if u need more advise its [e-mail] i hope i have been of any help to u.

Answer 3

For the sake of your health and you unborn babies health please tell you parents as soon as possible. It will be hard for them and equally hard for you. You are going to be handling a very adult situation for someone your age. I am not sure why you would feel the need to be married at 15 also. You are already taking on more than you probably know how to handle with a pregnancy and in a few months a newborn. I am married so I have nothing against marriage but ,again you are 15 your b/f is 16 and marriage takes alot . Best of luck to you and your family.

Answer 4

Go talk to your parent, at least get that part over with
as for the Law in Florida
you are 15 and he is 16 (he can go apply for a passport on his own you both can be trial as adult if you commit a crime
so I presume your parent can't make you give up nor have an abortion
what you need to do form now on is to be more responsible
Good Luck

Answer 5

I would tell them as soon as possible...as hard as it may be. Also, as much as you don't want to hear this. It seems like this is not a good idea. If you're too scared to tell your parents.... I don't want to lecture, but are you sure you're ready for this????? If you have to go and move in with HIS parents, how do you expect to support this baby, when you can't support yourself...and neither can your b/f. Your ages put you in a position where it's hard to find work, a place to live, etc. I am turning 20 this week and I recently gave birth to a baby girl. It is VERY HARD being even my age and having a baby. MY b/f is 22 so that makes it easier...we already had our own place and jobs.....diplomas...I am in college now but it's hard.Talk to your parents...REALLY think it through.This is the rest of your life....You can never stop being a parent...except for those young girls that have babies just to have their mothers end up raising them....I personally couldn't live with myself for doing that...but i think if I was 15 I would almost feel complied to. People mature soooooooo much betwwen 15-25.And I know all teenagers think they know everything...trust me I do :) But in a couple years look back....You'll see a complete different mindset.Well, I hope it works out....weigh your options...there are plenty of married couples looking for situations just like this...look in the classifieds in your local paper....talk to a conselor or better yet your mom...Cuz in the end that's really who's gonna have your back.

Answer 6

Since no one has mentioned this: you can get married. But both parents will have to agree - you need permission from your parents to get married at such a young age. You may want to get married now, but wait until you can do it legally - then you'll have a few years together with the baby (things will change with it! So be prepared!). Also, if you get married now, you may be living as a married couple under one of your set of parents - and thats no way to start out a marriage. Good luck.

Answer 7

You seem awfully young to be pregnant. Have you considered other options? There are people willing to adopt a baby in a heartbeat. You must tell your family because reguardless, you need to go see a doctor immediately. I don't think marraige is the answer, and you should not rush into getting married just because you are pregnant. Maybe you can move in together and see if you want to be with him or not. If you do, things will always work out. As long as you love eachother.

Answer 8

If youboth have parents that are willing to help thats great. However you are now entering an adult world. Saying thus, you should have the respect to tell your parents of the child. As far as getting married, You still have your whold life ahead of you. I would consider waiting a couple more years. This way you both still have to mature a little more. I hope things work out for you both. I wont sit here and say I think you should be having a child, when you are still a kid yourself, but atleast you have the sense to not abort it. I wish you the best of luck.

Answer 9

I know exactly how you feel. When I was 19 I had to tell my mother I was pregnant, and the first thing she said was I already know. Apparently she knew b/c of the change in my demeanor. Of course she was a little upset in the beginning but she soon got over it in fact she supported me when it came time to tell the rest of my family. I got married in my third month of pregnancy (b/c we loved each other) the next day my husband and I moved into our apartment together, he was 25 at the time and he has a good job so I had know worries about money. My daughter is now a little over a month old, she is the best thing that has happened to me and I don't regret a thing. My advice to you is to do what is in your heart, know matter what anyone else says you are the one who has to live with your decision so choose wisely. And the best of luck.

Answer 10

Listen to me, my daughter got pregnant at 16, I didn't like it, but I dealt with it. I did not throw her out. What would that accomplish? I was there when my granddaughter was born. Even thought my daughter was so young 17, when she gave birth, that little girl brought so much joy to my life, I don't know what I would do without her. I had to go to court to give permission for their marriage that I knew would not last. Children have to learn the hard way. 2 yrs later, they divorced. I believe the law is the same in Florida. You must tell your parents. Don't expect joy and happiness. Quite the opposite, but they will get over it if they love you and will support you knowing you are having their grandchild. Hang in there, it does get better. God be with you and your unborn child. May he/she be healthy.
