I am only sixteen getting to turn seventeen and I think I may be pregnant. I find out in two or three more days but I am very scared because my family including I are very strong in Church and my dad is a baptist deacon. I am scared about having to tell them that I may be or that I am, I just need some help I've never had to go through this before and i'm very stressed about it. HELP!!!!

There are reliable adoption agencies in every community. Consulting an adoption agency doesn't necessarily mean that you are going to place your baby with an adoptive family, though that may turn out to be the best thing for everyone. Counselors there can help you through every part of the decision-making process, including how and when to tell your parents. They will understand that of course you are stressed. Check the phone book or the internet and make the call soon.

i would personally wait to tell your family until you have a definate answer as to whether or not you are in fact pregnant. if you are not, then let this be a learning experience for you and there is no need to tell them. if you are pregnant the best thing to do is tell them right away. i'm sure they will be upset in the beginning, but seeing as how your father is a deacon and church teaches forgiveness i think you'll be ok. it is something you don't want to go thru all by yourself, especially at a young age. if you find out that you are pregnant and need to talk to someone, feel free to email me. good luck!!

First thing, please don't stress yourself over this. If you are and you want the baby this could cause problems. I understand your family being part of the church and strong in their belief, but the only thing you can do is talk to your dad. No matter what happens, he's still your dad. Explain to him what happened and what you think is happening right now. I would suggest taking the test before you say anything to him. After you take the test, talk to him and let him know you took a test and your reasons for waiting to talk to him. Trust me, it will be less stressful to take the test first to ease your mind a bit. With my dad, I just came right out and said, "Dad, I think I might be pregnant (I'm 23 though, but age shouldn't matter you're still his daughter). I took a test, but it came back negative and I'm going to take another one in a couple of days." I was shocked how he responded. He was just like ok, basically. He knew that I would make the right choice on what I want to do. I never thought that I would be able to talk openly to my father about stuff like that, but I am and it took a load of my back. I'm basically trying to say that you're going to have to take that chance. Even if your father and family are disappointed, they're still going to love (it would be un-christian of them not too!!). What I'm saying is, even if you are pregnant, theres nothing they can do to change what happened. In the end the decision is yours on what you want to do with the baby if you are pregnant and you have to let your family know what it is. With your family being of a christian background and they way christians pertray themselves, they should understand. (I'm not talking bad about christians, trust me, my mom is an evangalist and my brother is a preacher and my aunt owns a christain day care. I grew up in the church!) But trust your heart and you'll do what right when in comes down to talking to him and your family. I hope this helps. Good luck!!!!

Is there an adult in your life that you know you can fully trust to help you through this difficult time? If you have a relative, school counsellor, doctor or anyone you believe will not be judgemental and will just help you figure out what to do next, please contact them and arrange to meet with them to be on your side during this.
I hope it all turns out okay for you.

okay heres all the advice i can give you..dont tell them until you know whether you are.If they dont know you have had sex then dont tell them unless you have to.i freaked out after i had sex a while back when i was almost 16 and my parents found out.they took away everything and threatened to call the cops on my almost18 year old boyfriend because i wasnt old enough to consent.Just if you are pregnant, go to them and tell them how sorry you are and you know that you hurt them..otherwise..id keep it to yourself
