are you really more scared that they don't do a sweet 16 party than having a baby? Get your priorities right. Look tell them after your party then if that's what worries you and then tell your mum at least so you can have someone to help you!!

You know the consequences when you have sex, sex results in babies, So you knew when you engaged in unprotected sex there could be a possibility of a child being conceived . But some kids think it cant happen to them and then when it does you freak out about telling your parents. If your gonna have sex you need to protect your self, even if a condom breaks you should have a back up method like being on birth control so things like this wont happen. You will have to tell your parents, you plaed the game and didnt do it wisley so now you have no choice but to tell them so you can get the proper care that you and baby will need. The more you procrastinate you can cause harm to the baby by not getting the prenatal care you and that child needs. If you were grown enough to have sex, you better become grown enough to discuss it with your parents!!!!

I was 17 when I got pregnant. It was very hard for me to tell my parents. I told my Mom first, then called my step mom to tell my Dad. 1st off make sure that you really are pregnant. 2nd make sure that you are final on your decision on whether you want to keep your child, adoption, or abort. then go from there. My parents were very adamant that I had an abortion. I had my son, and the whole family can't imagine life without him. I can tell you that I had a hard time making that decision. You have to really think about how you are going to raise this child. In 2 years you will be considered an adult. How will you pay for rent, power, clothes, food, etc. What ever the decision I wish you luck. If you ever need to talk email me! I would love to help you through this!

im not much older than u im 17 and u was scared telling my my mom too (so was my fiance he he) but its a natural reaction for then to yell at you because they dont know what else to do really. Once thats over they calm down and talk through it all. My mom knew that i wouldnt have an abortion 1. because i dont believe in it and two i was so happy to be having a baby with the one i love and am going to spend the rest of my life with. Dont let your parents force you into an abortion if thats not what you want to do, stand your ground and they will support you no matter what because they are your parents and they will love you no matter what. I know that because i will do the same for my baby when its born in the summer. Good Luck!!!

What you do is grit your teeth, set them down and just tell them. Yes, they will be upset, even angry. There will be a LOT of emotions running high and it won't be pretty, but, in the end, you have no choice. The longer you wait, the less time all of you have to decide what is best for you and your baby.
It might help if you had a close friend come with you when you tell them. This will give you someone who will offer support and give you a bit more courage.

Take a deep breath.
Okay, you are not the first person in this position. Just last week I happened to be helping someone who was 15 and just found out she was pregnant. She did tell her mom, and you know what? Her mom was upset at first, but really supportive and now they are planning a nursery for the new baby!
I wish I could be there in person to talk to you! But there are so many people and resources for you. Your local Pregnancy Resource Center can help--they offter free pregnancy tests and counseling. They can also offer free medical appointments where you can hear the baby's heartbeat and stuff. Talk to someone there about the situation with your mom. Someone should be able to walk you through it. Just remember to pray first!!! Things are going to work out for the best--they always do when we invite God to help us.
Here is the website to help you locate your local Pregnancy Resource Center: http://www.pregnancycenters.org/ They can help you with local support and resources as well for young moms. Don't worry! You can do this and you won't be doing it alone!
Warmest congratulations to you on your new little one!!!!

Just tell them. You're going to need their emotional and financial suport anyway.
Of cuorse they will be mad at first, but you have every right to keep the baby. They cannot legally make you get an abortion, thats considered child abuse and you can be protected by the state.
If they want to really get angry and place blame they can look in the mirror. Better parenting and closer monitoring would have prevented their biggest fear. As it is, they should instead move on with life, and get ready to enjoy a grandchild.

Be Honest and tell them. I also got pregnant when I was young (at 17) and when my mom found out, she was mad at first. They will be mad at first, but will get over the anger and they will be very happy when the baby is born. Do you have your boyfriends support!! I hope so, If not then you are really going to need the support of your family. Good LucK!!! :)

all u have to do is get both parents together , and just say it '' mom dad i am pregnant'' just let them know it wasn't deliberate and u are sorry and u plan to take care of your child and finish school but u cant do it without there help, they are going to be as mad as hell. so tell me why are u sexually active at age sixteen u should be concentrating on school , didn't u know about contraceptives and condums, what if it was AIDS or some sexually transmitted infection u got, u need to be smarter u let your hormones get the best of u , u should learn to wait and save your body for someone who love and respect you. all the best

Well since they are gonna find out soon enough that you are a liar, a sneek and a tramp. You might want to tell them you have a tumor, cancer, are a lesbian or something horrible that you know they will freak over and once they get over the initial shock.
Tell them just kidding I'm just knocked up. They won't be happy but they won't freak out so much that you are knocked up. They will be more pissed that you tricked them.
And why didn't you use protection..jeez this is 2006...you kids should know better and you wonder why your parents treat you like a kid.
