How do you tell your parents you're pregnant when you're 15?

Question

My younger sister is almost 3 months PREGNANT and she STILL hasn't told our parents, and I only found out when I questioned her about her morning sickness. She's very quiet and responsible and certainly doesn't seem like the type...Is it possible to get an abortion without your parents permission??? omg what should she do?

Answer 1

OMG how can people make a choice and take a life? I'm a women that prays to have a child everyday and people like this can take someones dreams and trash them. If she is then she needs to grow up a little and tell her parents. Then needs to think of other than herself a little. There is a family that would be more than happy to take that child.
Let her know your there for her always and sit together while telling the news to your parents. It's not the end of the world yet.
Please think of others besides killing this life.

Answer 2

Sit your parents and your sister down as soon as possible. Your sister needs medical care right away. I'm pretty sure 3 months is too far along to get an abortion. The law states you must have your parents permission if you're under 18.

Answer 3

Woah woah woah calm down. It's not the end of the world, frankly, it's the beginning of another one (if you are pregnant). First what you need to do is sit them down and tell them. Then you can start discussing options. Like adoption or keeping the baby. (No abortion, pleaseee <3) And then you can be the decider on if this is going to ruin your life or not. Have a positive attitude sweetie! It's going to be okay. I promise. But I wouldn't sit them down unless you're 100% for sure. Be ready for the consequences, but I doubt they would do anything major to punish you, there's not much they can do. I wish you the best of luck! :)

Answer 4

I'm so sorry sweetie. I've been there. I was 15 and very afraid, I was living in denial. She needs to tell ASAP. I had a VERY late term abortio, after my parents finally figured out!!! I'm 33 now, and that does sometimes still haunt me. I knew I wasn't ready to be a parent. I think it haunts me most because of how far along I was. We had to go out of state to do it, and it cost my parents a whole lot of money. She needs to tell your parents ASAP. Whether your parents want her to have an abortion or not, the final choice is hers. The further along the pregnancey the more the abortion costs, and the more illegal it can become, depending on the state. I will pray for you and your sister, and I hope she makes the right decision for her.

Answer 5

abortions are most safely done before 12 to 14 weeks after that the cost is a lot higher the risk are higher of a complications. I am pro choice but 3 months is kind of advanced to be seeking a abortion thou they can be done at some clinics not ALL clinics will do one at that point. If it were a early pregnancy she would have more options open to her. I don't have the best answers she needs to seek a adult counselor Thur planned parent hood or a crisis pregnancy center. If she carries the baby she MUST SEE A DOCTOR. This needs taken care of I think your parents should be part of the decision made.

Answer 6

Well, as a good big sister you need to help her. First, she needs to get to the doctor and get on prenatal vitamins, etc. Then she needs some counseling so she can make a good decision for herself and her baby. She does need to talk to your parents. Maybe you could sit with her for moral support when she does this. You should not help her get an abortion without your parents' permission. They will never forgive either of you when they find out...and they will, you know. And what if that turns out to be the wrong choice for your sister? Maybe she'd rather have the baby and give it up for adoption, or maybe she will find a way to raise the child herself. She needs some counseling and she needs her parents to help her make decisions.

Answer 7

No, at that age, you have to have your parents permission to abort. And she is past the aborting point anyways, or at least should be! What would be best is if maybe you sat down with her and your mom and told your mom. Let her tell her though. But the extra support might be comforting. But she needs to do it wuick before she does something stupid like hide it untill birth, and then dump the baby, and then go to jail forever.

Answer 8

Please get her to talk to some other trusted family member if she cannot talk to her parents. She may feel better if she can get Aunt Tammy to sit down with her when she tells them. They won't kill her for heavens sake. Do NOT let her end up thinking she can get away with it, dumpster babies are sooo sad. She can always give it up for adoption, it is way too late to be thinking about an abortion. There are sooo many people out here who want to have a baby and can't. She can find someone who will put her up, pay all the bills, and get the pre-natal care she needs right now. Tell them yourself if you have to, offer to tell them with her, do not let her continue on alone...

Answer 9

Trust me honey, i'm sure your mother has noticed her morning sickness, too. Remember YOUR mother was pregnant too! I wouldn't be surprised if your mother knew already.

She needs to talk to your parents whether or not she is going to keep the child; of course considering you have a good relationship with your parents. She needs to do it very, very soon. 3 months is fairly late to get an abortion. Adoption is also a choice for her, too.

Answer 10

If you noticed her morning sickness, your parents might have too. I'm not sure how abortion works because I am pro-life. I think she should just tell her parents asap. If she waits until she starts showing you parents will be even more upset that they were never told. She should also start looking into prenatal care.
