at 15 you are gunna need your mum and dad throughout this. But you can start by talking to a health nurse at a family planning clinic, at women and girls health centre or neighbourhood health centre. Get yourself some information and know all of the options and choices that you have. The talk to your parents.

first find out for sure, if you are talk to a school counselor or an adult you know and trust who can help you with telling your parents. You need to tell them they will be angry and upset but they will still probably love and support you (I only say probably because there are some parents, though only a few, who have turned their backs on their kids and I don't know your home situation.) I dreaded telling my parents I was preg and I was 24 at the time, they told me that while yes they were extremely disappointed, they still loved me and were very supportive when a week later I lost my baby. I have alot of friends who had their first baby while they were in their teens and none of their parents, turned them out. Please do not just go and have an abortion so you can hide that you were ever preg, it has serious emotional impact on your life and dealing with it silently hurts more than anything your parents can do to you. I had a friend who became severely depressed after getting an abortion (she never told anyone even her friends) and eventually tried to commit suicide. good luck

Talk to your school counselor or call the local health department. They should have experience helping children get the care that they need. I wish I could help, I would think about what you might do if you are pregnant, would you have the baby and give it up for adoption? Would you have the baby and keep it? Would you have an abortion? I do foster care and am looking to adopt if the right one comes along, but I can tell you from the sad sad stories I hear, that trying to raise a baby at 15 is most difficult and the children pay dearly for their young parents mistakes. Think long and hard before deciding to keep the baby, sometimes it is better to put them up for adoption rather than resorting to foster care. Or doing an open adoption so that you can see them, they know you love them, but know that you loved enough to give them a better life is better psychologically. Good luck me dear, I hope the best for you!

You need to tell your parents, but you can go to a counselor at school first and have them help you. You need to find out for sure you are pregnant, and like someone else said, your parents will find out anyway.
Some people think that their parents will be really angry and that may be true for the first while, but most parents love their children and will do what ever it takes to help them. I would go and talk to a school counsalor though, or someone else that you may trust like a teacher. If you have a favorite Aunt. You really need to get an adult involved. Grandparents if you have them are usually good as well.

For one, call a local health clinic which may educate you on pregnancy. Being educated on the subject of pregnancy is super important because if you have no idea what to do then how will you deliver your baby in a healthy matter or are you healthy during pregnancy? That is why we have health clinic to solve health problems that the common citizen cannot figure out. There should be a local health clinic in your city or town, or there is one locally at a city near you. In order to call information for a local clinic, dial the number for 411 which is a directory hot-line for the location of different buildings. Ask if there is any health clinics you can check in. Or you can also check in the phone books if you like because health clinic are usually always in phone books depending on which state you are in. So I would advise you to check in a health clinic before 7 months of pregnancy so it will not be too late. However, health clinic is a wise choice to take so you can grasp a great concept on what pregnancy is about and motherhood also.

You definitely need to talk to someone. You should be able to go to your local health department to get a free pregnancy test. They can assist you with any other concerns you may have. Also the school counselor might be able to assist you. Don't try to go through this alone. It's probably hard enough for you as it is. If you happen to find out that you are not pregnant, then take this scare to prepare yourself for there not being a next time. God be with and help you. Good luck.

You need to be tested to make sure you are pregnant before you freak out too much. If you can't get any "at home" kits (which aren't always reliable anyway) then go to the local free clinic. Depending on your state laws, they may contact your parents or not- just depends on your local laws.
Speak with a guidance counselor at school. If you can't do that, you need to go to a family planning clinic- just speak with a counselor about what your options are as far as adoption, etc.
Now-- I have to say it: If you're not able to speak with your parents about your fears, then you're DEFINATELY not mature enough to be having sex. I'd let this scare put some fear into you and just hold off on sex again until you're MUCH more mature-- or at least comfortable speaking with your parents about your sexuality.

Call planned parenthood or go to the store and buy a pregnancy test. If the test is negative, then your not pregnant and you need to find a contraceptive to prevent you from getting pregnant (condoms are cheap and if you feel uncomfortable buying it, you could always buy it off the internet or go to planned parenthood to be placed on the pill.
If you are pregnant, just remember that it is a huge responsibility to have children. I am in my 20's and I have 2 kids, go to work and attend college. Its not easy either. It means your child's needs will have to come before yours. You'll have to sacrifice many things in your life and give up alot of fun things you could have been doing.
Im not trying to worry you, but it is important to yourself and possibly your unborn child to get the help you need immediately.
God bless you,

ok i individually do in comparison to ppl who get abortions. no longer the guy individually, purely the concept that person has. purely hear me out for a sec. if u get an abortion, you would be killing a life. can america w/ that for the the remainder of ur life? I understand that ur concern is undesirable yet many different babies have been in the area u r in now. i've got not individually, yet I also have a pal that has. the suited portion of do is get your mom in a quiet place the place it is purely u and her speaking and progressively clarify what got here approximately. verify united statesa. calm, yet in addition instruct her that ur disturbing. clarify to her how u experience and that u understand she'll be mad and that u made a mistake yet that we would desire to stand actuality and help the life which you will deliver into this worldwide. I wish you the suited of success. God Bless you and purely bear in suggestions that the easy way out (for this reason could be the abortion) isn't continuously the neatest way (which may be telling your mom and father or atleast your mom) reliable success ^_^

Hold off on the fear, and just take a pregnancy test. You might not be pregnant.
If you ARE pregnant, then....
...Why CAN'T you talk to your parents? Do you think they will be angry? I am a parent, and I am pretty strict with my teens, but I WANT to know something as BIG as "I am pregnant". I would want to help them through something that I know would scare them to go through alone. I might show my fear and disappointment by being angry, but I would also get over it because it does NOT help the situation. They should help you get medical care, so please have courage and tell them.
Good luck
