Took a digital pregnancy test this time but the same results came out, pregnant across the screen. I am 18 years old and have been the good girl making excellent grades, doing nothing wrong. I am so scared to tell my parents because I don't know what their reaction will be. Does anyone know how I could tell them, maybe some of you have been in my boat. HELP!!!

I was 19 when i got preg. i was scared to death to tell my parents. I was scared to tell my boyfriend as well we had a scare before and he freaked out! he got all mad and everything. so when i was 3 months along i told him and thankfully he was excited. my parents took a while longer to tell. i told my mom and had her tell my dad but they were just surprised it didn't happen sooner (my boyfriend and i have been together for 4 years) so they were behind me the whole time and now can't get enough of our son! they love to play with him. my boyfriend and i are now married and trying for our second child. anyway i'd tell your parents when you are ready and they should support you and help you. i wish you all the luck and i know what you're going through.

I totally know what you mean. I have been there. I was 17, in high school, making awesome grades (almost a 4.0) working full time as a manager, and asking my parents if I could do things. I wound up pregnant too. I thought my parents would kill me!! Well long story shorter, my parents were AWESOME. they didn't freak out. They just asked some basic questions like do you want to keep the baby, and what about boyfriend, etc. Just be honest with them. Tell them you made a mistake and that you are ready to be grown up about it. Answer any questions they have. I told my mom first because that is who I am closer to but if you are closer to your dad then tell him. Whichever one can help you tell the other. Good luck it will turn out OK. I promise!!

You should definetly tell someone so you have some support going one there. You should also make sure you are getting pre-natal care becasue they do a lot of tests to make sure you and the baby stay healthy. They you should weight your options and figure out which will be best for you and your child. Make sure you think about the choices that you do make however, because they will last a lifetime.

You're only human and we all make mistakes. So take a deep breath. Go to the most supportive parent first. They will be terribly disappointed and hurt. Accept that and yes, apologise. Do you have any ideas about what you want to do? It would be helpful if you can come up with some suggestions.
Good luck.

You can look at this two ways....1. yes you are pregnant, but worse things have happened to woman your of your age. 2. you are going to have a beautiful baby to love and who will depend on you for everything. I understand you are scared...I was 21 when I got pregnant with my first and I was still afraid to tell my mom, the best thing to do is just go in there and before you give yourself time to panic tell them, and tell them you need their help and support, not the famous "you are ruining your life" judgmental speech!

Well, I haven't been in your shoes, but having a daughter myself (she's only 6 now, but they grow up so fast!), I'd say to sit down with your parents and just talk straight with them. That's what I hope my daughter will do if she's ever in your situation. Better to get it over with. They may be disappointed and a little angry at first, but you're still their little girl. You always will be. Hell, I'm almost 29 and my parents still call me their baby! If you have a decent relationship with them, they'll be there for you. Good luck!

I got pregnant at 19 and it took me FOREVER to tell my parents...but you need to tell them, your parents love you, and they might be mad at first, but they are there to support and help you...and you'll feel a lot better once your not hiding it...and ya know, they might already know...it took me so long to tell my parents, that by the time I did, my dad had already figured it out and was waiting for me to tell him, and yesh they were upset, but they got over it and supported me in my decision.

maybe you should tell one of your parents first that way they cool down before you tell the other one. Thats what I did I told my mom who took me to the doctor to get a blood test done and after it was true we told my dad.
