Better to tell them now then find out from someone else later or see the changes in you! If your scared write them a letter telling them before you go to school (if your still in school) that way they'll have time to cool off before you get home.

Okay, first of all, if you're not sure, you need to find out. The first step I would take is to go get a home pregnancy test.
Even if it doesn't come out positive I would go to Planned Parenthood. They're good people. They'll test you and see if you're pregnant. (They will charge you for the visit, however.) You could use your parents insurance if you're on it, I'm sure, but your parents would eventually get the doctors bill.
You will need to tell your parents eventually. Or at least an adult you feel most comfortable talking to. This is a serious thing that can't be ignored, and if you're young (I'm not sure how old you are) and are still living with your parents, they will find out eventually anyway, so it's just better telling them straight out rather them finding out some other way.
Just so you know, if it turns out that you are, it's not the end of the world. You'll be alright. You could get an abortion (of which I really wouldn't recomend).
I wish you the best with your journey through life...

As a mother, I can tell you that the most important thing for you to do right away, is to talk to your mom. Let her know the details. You will need to confirm your pregnancy and it is always best to have your mom present. Besides, Moms are usually better at breaking this type of news to Dad.
I'm sure that your parents will be saddened by the news but then again, they would want to know to ensure that you receive the best medical attention. I am sure that once they know, you will be surprised by how much that they will want to help you through this.
Remember, you still need to confirm the pregnancy.

Tell your parents! If you have parents who love you, they will understand. Let them help you through this. I am now 27 but I remember what it feels like to hide something from my parents. In my case, I was the perfect daughter in their eyes who hid everything to keep up that image. I tried to hide plenty, but the truth always comes out. then you have just damaged your relationship even more by lying. I know now, that if something like this happened to me, it would have been best to come clean right away. Let you mom help you find out if you are really pregnant, and decide what to do about it. They may be disappointed but you are much better off dealing with this with help. they may even eventually get excited about having a grandbaby. That is what happened when my sister was in this situation. She came clean as soon as she was sure and my parents have helped her so much. She now says that having her daughter saved her life. I can't end this without saying please, please, please don't have an abortion. I have friends who took that route too and they have regretted it for years. Babies are a gift, hard work yes, but there are so many people who want to have them and can't. You are actually blessed.

You should get tested. Free pregnancy tests are available through your local health dept. If you're pregnant, you need to consider your options. Talk to a counselor. If you want to keep the pregnancy, you're parents are going to find out eventually -- better to tell them now than let them find out on their own. If you decide to give up a pregnancy, your parents may still have to know because depending on the state you live in, it may be a requirement that they're notified.
I hope for your sake that you're not pregnant because you sound young. I also hope that in the future you'll make better choices regarding sex.

Make sure your pregnant first. No use in scaring them for nothing. If you are 100% positive you have to tell them. There is no easy way but it's better than waiting 4 months and then have them realize you've been getting bigger in only one spot.

Well there really isn't enough information on your question to give you any proper advice so If your parents don't know then the best thing to do is let them know by telling them.

Ok, first you need to found out whether or not you are pregnant. And if you are then you should tell them!...and you need to tell them at the same time...tell them in the quiet of your own home. But honey dont tell them that you think you are pregnant..cause they might flip. But wait and see if the test is positive, and if it is. Then tell the folks!

Do you have an older sister or a aunt who you could perhaps confide in? try not to discuss with friends as they may not treat you with the confidentiality you want trust me i know, if no relative what about the father? or your GP nurse would be very understanding. good luck don't be alone take care
