im about to be 16 years old and my girl friend is pregnant, how should i tell my parents?

Question

see my parents and i arent really close, we dont say i love you, or sorry, or give each other hugs, dont get me wrong i love them, but i just dont know how to tell them i knocked my girl up, please help

Answer 1

well one is that you are not ready for a kid, and you will have to grow up fast to take care of the child.


i mean just let them know it cant hurt, hell they might be happy.

Answer 2

Before you tell them, you should think this through yourself.

First, stop saying you "knocked her up". Your son/daughter won't really appreciate that.

Second, where do you work? If the answer is nowhere, go get a job. How are you going to feed that kid.

Third, are you going to stay with her/marry her? Where will you live?

Fourth, how old is she? Are her parents going to call the police?

Fifth, sit down with your girl and figure all of this out, plus all of her questions. Get everything together, and show a little maturity. You've done something big and now it's time to step up and be a man. Think about what things are like between you and your father. It's your turn to be the father, so you better get your head on straight.

Answer 3

Let them know you need to have a serious talk with them. Then when you sit down and talk with them about it start off saying, what has been done can not be undone so lets think about how we can make this better. Then let them know you got your girlfriend pregnant. If you dont have a job, let them know you are going to get one and help support her. That is the biggest thing for a father when his son gets a girl pregnant. They want to make sure you will take care of the girl and the baby. I hope that helps you!

Answer 4

there is no good or bad way of telling your parents something like this so just tell them.

after dinner one time, sit down with them and say "Mom/Dad, I got in a little bit of trouble and need your help." Tell them you did something irresponsible and will need their guidance. You will hear an earful but this is part of the consequence you will have to suffer from your actions including child support, baby daddy issues, baby mama issues and so forth.

If at all possible, ask your parents to help you tell hers so all of you can sit down and figure this out.

I was once in the same situation as you and your girl. Dont worry, it is not the end of the world but I hope you learn a lesson from this.

Best,

G

Answer 5

No, actually, a pregnancy for each of you is a bad choice. In your place, you are now an adult, and as such, you and you and she alone need to determine your future. And since you are not close with your parents, that would indicate you really wouldn't want their imput on this problem....(what do they call people who don't use birth control???? Parents, and in this case, it probably isn't a good idea --- Go to planned parenthood, and find out your options.... After you consult with them, decide what the two of you are most comfortable with....)

Answer 6

Whats up with people getting pregnant at such an early age.
How old is your girlfreind?
Have your parents met your girlfriend?
How far is she due?
How long has she been your girlfriend?
Is it definatly yours?

If you can aswer these questions seriously and honestly, then tell your parents, otherwise wait until you know the truth. Your parents will want to know as soon as possible, but Im also sure that they would want the truth.

Answer 7

Be a man and tell them as soon as possible. If together great but if you know that one will explode more than the other than tell one at a time, and also be prepared for the lecture and questions of what are you going to do. I am sure that your girl must be just as scared but right now she is going to need your support and if possible even your parents.

Answer 8

This is a good time to have a real talk. Admit your mistakes, but go on: you need a plan. You're suddenly faced with adult responsibilities. How you handle those will determine the path for the rest of your life. What's done is done; the future depends on how you handle this. One thing is for certain: an adult attitude on your part will force an adult reaction on your parents' part. You wanted to be grown up. Now you have to be. It's not easy, but it's important. Good luck.

Answer 9

It may not be easy to sit down your parents, but you're going to have to. As adultas the choice you made, you have to be an adult and show them that you have made a mistake, and you need a little support. Talk to a conselor at your school also, they will probably say the same thing however, but it might boost your confidence in talking to your parents. Keep in contact with your girlfriend, she really really is going to need you. Good luck !!

Answer 10

Ask them to sit down, tell them that you have something you need to say and you really want their help. Start by saying I know I made a mistake, this mistake will alter my life forever, please, what I am asking for is help, you can be upset with me, but what I am really wanting is your help. Mom, dad, my girlfriend, insert name here, just found out that she is pregnant and I am going to become a new father.

Answer 11

tell them....go with your girlfriend and tell your parents and hers. they cant get to mad because they are your parents and they are her parents....her parents will probubly hate you, but thats what you get when you dont use protection. And its best if you dont say "knocked up" cuz that will make them even more mad...be polite....then look at your options...adoption or something. Bon chance
