I'm pregnant and 16. how do i tell my parents.?

Answer 1

Be responsible go to them with a game plan...
how are you going to support the child
when and how are you going to finish high school
Have you and the baby's daddy arranged child support
Do you and your child qualify for medicaid or WIC
what are you going to do about child care
...don't assume they will help you, but they very well may, especially if you show them how adult you are.

Answer 2

You're going to need to rip off the Band-Aid ... and soon (as in tonight), because the longer you wait to make decisions about your pregnancy, the more limited your choices will become.
First, tell the parent you're closest to. Say, "I've gotten myself into a situation and I need your help: I'm pregnant." This way you're taking responsibility (which is mature), but you're also admitting that you can't handle it on your own and need your parents' support.

From there, it will be a decision that only you and your family can make. No matter what, the road ahead of you won't be easy--but between your own inner strength and your parents' support, you will get past this and hopefully grow from the experience.

But if your parents are crazy then I would tell them in a public place.. A store, food place.. etc..

1st start talking to you parents about a girl at school! Tell them you heard she was 16 and pregnant wait to see what the say about it! If that goes good ask them what they would feel if you ever got pregnant young! Then make the chose to tell them then or not! If it's too hard write a letter they can find latter and go some-where because some mean and hurtful things and be said when they just find out and it-will give them time to cool down! Call them and talk about it on the phone and if they need alil more time to cool down stay out a lil longer at a friends house! When you go home bring a friend home so they don't just start yelling or you can come home and bring a friend home and set them down and tell them! Good luck sweet heart! Think about it! It will be hard but give them time and they will love you and you child!

Answer 4

Honestly, i don't know what to tell you. I got pregnant at the age of 17 my senior year. But I got an abortion. My mom was mad and disappointed. Mainly because of the situation I was in with my baby's father. He was currently in jail for a felony charge (he's now at a bootcamp in Orlando) and also my mom never liked him. I didn't tell her, some way she found out. I guess being older and from past experience, you know when whatever it is IS. I was either going to have the abortion or tell my dad I was pregnant and where my baby's father was... and thats a double wammy! But now I'm back with my ex of 2-years (I got pregnant during our seperation),I'm pending pregnancy...I dont know yet because its too early to detect pregnancy but I'll be almost 4 months by the time of my 18th birthday, so if I am pregnant, its not much my parents can do because I'll be considered an adult. But if you want to keep it you can because in FLORIDA you cant force your child thats over 15 to abort their baby. I seriously think I'm pregnant, I had sex on my fertile days and my boyfriend ejaculated in me on purpose both days. But if you wanna keep this child, you go ahead and do it but if not hurry up and tell them or someone so that you'll be able to abort it before it's too late!

Answer 5

WOW... I bet a lot is going through your mind right now! Sooner or later you will have to fess up, and tell your parents that you are pregnant... so I think you should tell them A.S.A.P, cause things could get worse. What if you have any medical conditions later on... your parents NEED to know. They're going to be disappointed either way it goes. I know this may sound harsh... but you gotta do whats right! Hope everything works out for ya!!

Answer 6

I agree with the other poster. If your parents are irrational then I would tell them in a public place. Just be sure to tell them. You will feel much better no matter what their reaction is. Pregnancy is such an important thing and should not be kept a secret. Talk to your guidance counselor if you are not ready to tell your parents. Good Luck!

Answer 7

what ever you do don't do abotion you will be killing a person. You can tell your parents in a letter and leave it on there dresser and after you leave it on there dresser you ask them if you can go out with your friends. You can also tell them the story but say the person is a girl that is is 16 and pergnet and then when you think that there calm tell them the girl is you. GOOD LUCK.

Answer 8

I know exactly where you are coming from, I got pregnant @ 17 and I was scared but I had to tell them. There are risks that you can be taken, it is very dangerous for you and the baby if you do not see a doctor. Just sit them down, tell them the deal and tell them you need them. You might be surprised!! Good luck!

Answer 9

I know youre probably thinking o god everybody saying that but they dont know my parents, thats how o felt but you will be so relieved once you tell them its like a huge wait lifted off your shoulders.

Answer 10

thats a really hard one. i was so sceared to tell mum with my first baby. when i was 18 that i asked my next door naighbour what to do she told me to just tell her. and when i did she was not suprized as she said she knew that something like that was up. she wasent very mad at all. now she loves madison 20mths :)

with my second i rang her as she has moved to ausie she wasnt hapi but was not mad. we lost this baby girl alysia at 20 weeks and mum flew over for 3 weeks.

now i am 18 weeks pregnant with my 3rd baby after only a one mth gap between alysia and this bubz. ive told mum straight away she was ok with it my friends were excited dad didnt mind. but im in the same place as you trying to tell me grandma ( im sceared shes a old type grandma and she is into the no baby before marrage) last to times she had found out from my dad/ her son because she was holidaying in perth.

good luck you see it wil e ok
