How do i tell my parents...?

Question

im 16...n im a month or so pregnant....i want my baby n so does the daddy..i know i messed up n that im too young...but HOW DO I TELL MY PARENTS?

Answer 1

Straight up. And the sooner the better.

Answer 2

The Sooner the Better.. nothing worse than Finding out your sweet innocent little daughter is not only Pregnant, but also didn't respect or Love us enough to be able to share the news.

Honestly.. it's a shock for a Parent to discover this sort of thing... but you will always be thier little girl, and tho the reactions may be harsh at first. Try to keep a level head, remain calm, and remember, you have been their little girl for 16 years now... and you're basically telling them that you've grown up to the point where their Job is almost done.. it's not easy to take.

If need be, write down the reasons for keeping the Baby, and the Practical methods and understanding of how to go about it. Keep them involved, and reassure them that they will be needed, as they have a little more experience at this than you, and you may appreciate all the Help you can get.

Answer 3

My Mom use to work at a place called the pregnancy help center,they helped teens just like you. the teen got a counceler and they would tell the parents together.see if your town,or area has something like that. call the health department and so on until you can find someone to help you. Have your boyfreind go with you to the place and they will help him as well.
i was lucky i told my parents over the phone 400 miles away that my then girlfreind(now wife) was pregnant. my sister however told them straight up.mom dad im pregnant.before they said anything i was out the door saying i gotta go be back around 2 Am.to my suprize mom and dad handled it well. Maybe yours will too,but that extra support helps alot. Good luck i hope all turns out well for you

i just read the ideas on a school counciler or another adult those are all great ideas,it does need to be done quickly though. if needs be aunt, uncle grandparents whatever just have someone with you and your boyfreind. support is everything

Answer 4

Well both you and your boy-friend should tell them. But if they
really don't care for the dude, then you tell them. In the mean
time he better go look for a job and stick with it. You too can
get a part time job. What can your parents do whats done is done. Unless they are the type to tell you to go get an abortion.
Now I'm talking from experience, not me but my daughter. She
was 17 years old and he was 20 years old.. I was asleep when
she woke me up to tell me, I got pissed off, I told her to get out
of my room. Then next day we had our talk and I was still pissed,
but I got over it a few seconds later. I then became a proud
grandparent, now of two beautiful girls. Just sit down with them
and spill the beans. Just remember if your boy-friend wants to
be on their good side, tell him to get a job pampers, clothing
and all the necessity are not cheap. Continue your Education
never quit, cause you can still be pregnant and finish school.
My daughter is now 22 and they both have been working their
*** off. they have their own Apt., they pay their own bills.
I don't pay their bills but I do help out with my two grand-daughters ( 4 yrs & 10 months old) and I love them all the
same. I hope your family excepts your pregnacy and boy-
friend.

Answer 5

Honey im telling you this from experience... i was 17 when i became pregnant with my son i am now 24 there is no easy way of tellig them... but the trusth is honey you have to just come out and say it, otherwise your just going ot stress yourself out, and thats not healthy for you or the baby... don't listen to ne one about abortion or ne other options you might have.... if you want your baby you do what you have to do, and congratulations on your baby and your nerve, yes you are young and its going to be hard at times, no denying that... you have to give up ALOT for your baby, but between the two of you you can do it, i did it pretty much by myself... keep your head up, keep a stiff upper lip, shoulders straight, and ignore other peoples thoughts or opinions... You can do it hon!! If you need to talk email me!!

~CHEERS!!~

Answer 6

I have a 16 year old daughter and her bf is 18. i keep a close eye on them but I cant be there at all times. If she were to get pregnut i would want her to come to me with her bf and tell me she is pregnut. Your parents are going to find out sooner or later and i think that by telling them now would show respect that they deserve. Maybe if you can tell a school counselor ot a close family member and they can be there to lend you support. This is a scarey thing for you to go thru but it has to be done.

Answer 7

The sooner you tell them, the more time they have to absorb what is going on. I'd sit them down, and just say there is something you need to talk to them about. If you are closer to one than the other, then you might want to tell that parent first and have them as your support when you tell the other.

Answer 8

find an adult that u can really trust and let them go with u to tell ur parents or let the baby daddy parents go with u

Answer 9

I know this is hard and your scared honey, but it has to be done! You and your Bf need to sit down and talk to them and face what they have to say! I promise that will be the worst of it! They will be upset at first,but like most parents who love their children they will support you after the initial shock! Best of luck to you, Bf and your baby!

Answer 10

i think u should just tell them straight out! and is ur decision if u want to keep the baby or not. ur boyfriend can tell u what he wants but at the end is ur decision. Hopefully ur parents will understand! u made a mistake but at least ur taking responsabily for ur actions unlike other people that prefere abortion. And make sure of what u want and have no regrets!!!!!

GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!

Answer 11

What you need to do is get your parents and his parents together and sit them both down and tell them together that you are pregnant
