Say, "I have to tell you something, and I am scared of how you are going to react. I am pregnant."
Just be direct. I know it's scary, I got pregnant for the first time at 16. My mother was furious, but she calmed down quickly and accepted my pregnancy and the baby.
If there was ever a time when you needed your parents support (emotionally), now is the time. Don't hide the news from them, it will only get more difficult if you put it off. Good luck to you.

You say, "I don't even know how to tell you this, but I'm pregnant." And then discuss with them if you are planning to keep it or not. It is your choice, and nobody can force you to be a parent if that's not what you are ready for. People use protection all the time but still get pregnant. It doesn't mean you must keep it and give birth, and you are not a bad person whatever you decide. If your protection failed, then you shouldn't have to be a parent if you don't want to because you tried being careful.... People always assume pregnant women didn't use protection, when actually they DID but it failed! My sisters went through this, and once a teenager chooses parenthood, she waves goodbye to finishing her own childhood.

Don't cry unless you mean it. First off you were not thinking about how to talk to anyone when you decided it was ok for you to go out and have sex. Talk to your parents like a young adult. You made the adult decision to have unprotected sex. Be adult and just fess up. No time to act like a little girl now. You will now be responsible for taking care of someone else. Remeber this, you can no longer think and act like a child. You are going to have to grow up fast. This child is and will be your responsibility. If the father does not help, which 9 x's out of 10 the run away, you will be left holding the bag. Just tell your parents... Mom and Dad I am pregnant. I know that I am too young, but I need to accept responsibility for my actions and I need your help through this.

Bless your heart. I bet you are a nervous wreck. Are you close to your parents?
More than likely it is going to be hard for them to hear and not knowing them I don't know what their reaction will be. No matter what it should not change their love for you.
Being a parent myself I can tell you that I would be disappointed in my daughter and actually kind of hurt for her because as a parent we want so much for our children. . .good things and a life that was easier than ours. But, being a mom . . .I love my children unconditionally there is nothing either one of them could do that would take my love away from them. . .and I would want to know what they were going through so that I could help them.
Unfortunately, at the age of 15 you are learning a huge lesson in life. . .life is about choices and with our choices come consequences. I can tell you that I have not led the perfect life and that things in my life that I once looked at as a mistake or an inconvenience have turned out to be my greatest blessings.
Good luck, hon.

I would say sit them down and just tell them. Take their advice and reactions like an adult. Express your feelings and what you want your future to hold for you. Communication is the key when you're that young. I have several family members who had gotten pregnant at that age, you just need to figure out what your options are and decide with the help of your parents.

Make sure you have their full attention, then tell them straight up. Say something like "I made a poor decision and now I am pregnant. I'm sure you're disappointed in me, but I need your support now more than ever. I'm ready to take responsibility for myself and my baby, but I can't do it alone." That way you will show your maturity and hopefully get them on your side. E-mail me any time: good luck!

As quickly and honestly as possible. It helps if you have a plan and can tell them what your thoughts are and expect to provide the "father's" name as well. This is a serious talk you may both cry and be angry if you are afraid of abuse or abandonment get help from a school counselor or social services. Good Luck!

sit them down because you have something to tell them, take deep breath for dramatic pause, then tell them you asked them here because its time they knew, mon, dad, i starred in a porno, i figured that soon enough the movie is going to get to one of your friends or their friends so its best they hear it fopr you, its too late to stop it now all you can do is live with it,
at first they will be crushed, they will not believe you stay on them though, and about the time they look like they have finally accepted what your saying as true, tell them no your just kidding your only pregnant

Just be very open and tell them I'm pregnant, I'm sure your parents love you and will be with you to help you out. Good luck and congrats.

Just tell them you're pregnant. I'm sure they will be upset and dissapointed for a while but they'll get over it and be there for you. They are your parents they will understand. When I told my mom, she was so mad and didn't talk to me at all for a few hours after i told her..then she got over it and now she loves her grandson more than anything. goodluck
