I am not going to cut you down for the decisions you have made to have this happen to you. This happened and now it is time to move forward. You are young but when you tell your parents i am sure they will be a bit upset but will fully support you. Your life does not end here look at the positives and stay positive and i promise you will get through this. Stay in school and still work hard and don't let things people say or do bother you your better then reacting to it all.
Now as for telling your parents i would say the best thing to do is to sit them both down and talk to them calmly about it all i suggest you start by telling them you have something important to say and you would like to hear what they have to say after your done talking. tell them on what is going on how you feel about it tell them this is a time were you need their guidance and protection the most right now. When it is their turn to talk or when they do talk expect a reaction that just may hurt but understand in the end they just want whats best for you and now the baby. Your can do this as for your bf i would after telling your mom and dad sit with them and tell him on the note that they are willing to help don't tell him alone it have support there.
That's all i have to say and i wish you the best of luck it may be hard at times but you can do anything just look at the positive side.

Well you need to let them know. It is going to be very hard, I felt this same way when I had to tell my parents that my GF was pregnant.
You need to decide what you are going to do, and that is a decission that you cannot make on your own. Your BF has the right to know that he may be a father, and your parents need to know so they cn be their to support you in whatever decission that you make.
Being 15 you have a VERY hard choice to make, keep the child, give him/her up for addoption, or as a last option there is always abortion.
I do not envy the position that you are in, I was 21 when I had to tell my parents, but I do have an understanding of what you are in for.
It may be hard but you need to tell them, all of them, and then all of you can move on from there.
I can tell you that being a parent, there is no other happiness like it in the world.
Good Luck!

This is a very tough situation. It depends on if you feel comfortable doing it. It is very important that at your age you have the help of friends and realatives, babies are very costly.
When i was 16 I ran away from home... I thought my "parents" were the most evil and nasty people in the world. I was right. I hate them still. But when i met my now husband when i was 17, and got pregnant, I was living in a tent in Delaware during the winter, not so nicew when your 5 months pregnant. I was thankful then because i had told them about him, and the baby in the begginning. They helped us, they were nasty but they wernt about to let there own responsibility that they had forced out to die in a winter storm with a child on the way(there first grandchild)
They helped us and I gave birth to my little girl in sunny warm Southern California with no complications, and witout freezing to death.
From All of this i want you to know, it is always better to tell the truth, no matter how old you are or how scared you are. Be adult about it. If you want to keep the child, let it be known that you are willing to work through school, and take care and responsibility for it. Showing that you can be an adult now can mean alot later in life. You will be an excelent role model for your child, and boyfriend if he decids to stick around(hopefully he will)
If he doesnt stick around you can get child support when he turns 18. Anyways, you will need your parents to help with the baby legally and everything. You must still go to school! Dont drop out, it is a thing i do regret doing myself. You can do it. The first step is realizing you can. Just smile and tell them. they may yell, but whats done is done, and they will help you. You can tell them before they go to bed, they will sleep on it, and be much easyer to talk to about it later. Also counselors at school can help aswell. Get on WIC and Prenatle vitamins now... your body need the nutrition, and it is best for baby to get on them, and eat right. Start right end right.
Good luck and If you need someone to talk to E-mail me, i can help anytime:

You have to tell them as soon as possible. The sooner you tell them, the better off you are going to be. If you plan on keeping this baby then you need to get to the doctor's today. It's not just all about your health anymore, you have a child to worry about. If you plan on not keeping the baby (adoption or abortion) then you still need to tell your parents and they can be there for you when you need someone to be. As far as you and your boyfriend when the time is right for you to have sex again with the possibility of getting pregnant, please use condoms. It's really hard to care for a child, work full time, and go to school.

I know your scared, but telling them will probably be the easiest part of this whole situation. They will be there for you. My mother got pregnant with me when she was 15, she lived in a very strict household and was even in Catholic school, but after the initial shock, everyone supported her. And don't let anyone tell you youre going to be a horrible mother because of your age. My mother had me very young and in my opinion did a much better job then some of my friends parents who are as old as my grandparents. Its all in the individual, just stay strong and be positive.

No your boyfriend cant get into any trouble. Here is the consent laws in Texas. What is the 2012 Age of Consent in Texas? The Texas legal Age of Consent for sexual contact is 17 years old. nine states have a legal age of consent of 17. While there is no close-in-age exemption to the Texas legal age of consent, it is an acceptible defense in court if the defendant is less then 3 years older then the victim and the sexual act was consentual. Texas has no Close-In-Age Exemption There are no set close-in-age exemptions or "Romeo and Juliet laws" to Texas's age of consent. This means that anyone who engages in sexual activity with someone under the age of consent in Texas is liable for prosecution, including people only a few years older then their sexual partner and even two individuals who are both under the age of consent.

I was in the same situation when i was 15. I reluctantly told my parents, they where upset at first but after about a week they were excited about the baby. Now your boyfriend may be a different story. People react in different ways. when i told my boyfriend he was in shock, and disappeared for a few weeks, but he did come back. we decided not to rush into getting married because we were so young, but we stayed together and are married now and have been for 3 yrs, all together we've been together 7 yrs. What you desperately need to remember when you tell your boyfriend is to make sure he knows that you care about him and that this baby is going to make both of your lives different. make sure you talk about all the possibilities with your parents, him, and his parents. I know your young and are scared right now, but great things come with a child. Mine is the light of my life, and i hope your baby is the light of yours. feel free to im me if you need additional advice because i was in you shoes once, but i would do it all again for my son.

Listen girl, I was in your situation 12 years ago... do your research. know the answers before they ask.
what about school? whatever you do don't drop out /you can do it.
How will you support the baby? does dad work
future goals? know them and stick to them
The sooner you tell you parents the better off you will be.... I know the stress is eating you up inside and you don't need the stress while you're pregnant. after you tell them you will fell like a weight has been lifted...
Just know you can do anything you put your heart into...Now 12 years later, I am a professional working mom of 3......
keep your head up and stay strong momma!

Talk to a counselor at school, they are legally not allowed to tell your parents. They can direct you to a planned parenthood or other organization that can explain all of your options.
I would normally say to tell your parents, they will probably be upset and disappointed, but in the end, they will be glad you told them, but some parent are not so understanding, only you can decide that.
Do not wait too long to decide, or your options will run out.

Just sit down and have a family talk. At first they may seem upset and very disappointed but in a week they will be making plans for their new grand baby. Just don't ask to much of them when the baby is born and finish school. Most schools have a daycare for students in your case
