The best advise I can give you is sit down with them and try to have an adult conversation with them. You have made an adult decision to have unprotected sex and now you have to grow up REALLY fast with a baby on the way. I'm sure your parents will be VERY upset with you but I'm sure they will not kill you. In fact they may be more understanding then you give them credit for. After the initial smoke clears you can continue a open dialog with them as to what your options are: keeping the baby, abortion, adoption, etc. and I'm sure you will all come together with a choice that is right for everyone involved. Remember you are not the first girl who has had to go thru this and if all else fails you will probably be able to find advise in the form of a school counselor. Good Luck! I'll say a prayer for you :)

Simply tell them. They won't kill you, they'll just be upset. You may want to go in prepared with your thought out plans on what you want to do, as in keep the baby or give it up for adoption.
If you plan on keeping it then you need a plan on how you want to take are of the baby as well. The longer you wait the more difficult it will become and your parents may even feel more betrayed the longer you wait to tell.

I got pregnant at 18, and what I did was one night after everyone else went to bed, I just came right out and told her (I was about 2 1/2 or 3 months along then). She took it badly, like I thought she would, and wouldn't talk to me, and I went to my boyfriends house and stayed there. The next evening, she called me and wanted to talk to me about it. She pushed me to have an abortion, but I am morally against abortions (I don't even think it should be legal to have an elective abortion, only a medically necesary one), so I would not do it.
She knew for about 2 months before she told my dad. He took it much, much better than I thought. I was still staying almost everynight at my boyfriends, so after she told him, I stayed there for that night and most of the next day before I went home. The first thing he did was give me a hug.
Your parents will probably act much the same way. They will be upset at first, but after a while, they will come to terms with it, and after the baby is born, the would never be able to imagine it not being there.
Good luck, and congratulations on your pregancy!

Let me start by saying that your parents will respect what you're saying, and truely listen to how you feel about it if you approach them in a way that tells them you trust them. By coming forward and telling them in a civilized manner, it shows them that you feel that you can talk to them, and they will appreciate that more than you will ever realize. This is a very hard thing to deal with, but remember, they were 16 once too... Good Luck with everything.

The best thing to do is sit them down and tell them the truth. You really don't want to wait a long time to do it either. This way your parents can help you weigh your opinions and make the best decision for you. I hope your parents understand and that whatever you choose you learn from this experience.

Whichever parent is the most reasonable/understanding, break it to them first. Discuss the situation and let them know your decision (so that they do not make up your mind for you). Once you have done this, then break it to the other parent. Hopefully you will get support from the first parent you informed. All the best..

first tell them to sit down, this prepares all parents for news they may not be prepared to hear. then get it out fast. that's what I did. after the shock, they really may come around. really. or, if you would be more comfortable writing them a letter or having an aunt or someone close to them break it to them. take care of that little one. he depending on you. good luck.

Oh no...my heart goes out to you. It will be a very difficult time for you. first of all i take it that u have decided to keep the baby.i suggest u tell them with an elderly aunt present with you. it will be better, preferably someone u can talk to , who is also close to your parents.
I wish u luck,.

Since what is done is done, you have 2 options. Either sit them down and tell them at home, or contact the Maury show.
I don't know how your parents are, but I know mine would be REALLY upset with me, but they would still be supportive.

they will not kill you...they might want to ,but they won't.
Just be honest with what happened and what you might want to do. Your gonna have to grow up really fast and decide now what your going to need to do for the rest of your life.
Just come right out and tell them and remember that it will pass.
