A friend that i have known since i was 7 years old(we are both 16 now) decided a few weeks ago that we wanted to be "friends with benefits" we had unprotected sex and now my period is late, my period usualy comes about 26-28 days and i am now 9 days late on it, i am only 16 years old so i dont know what to do and i am worried to tell my parents.

i went and got a HPT and it was one with the blue line if you are pregnant and a red line if you arent and they both showed up, and the HPT kit had two in it so i took the other one and it did the same thing

Sounds like you are pregnant, go to your doctors to confirm it and then tell your friend and your parents. Good luck!!!

Go to the drugstore, Rite-Aid, Walgreens, or any similar store and pick up a pregnancy test. If your too shy to do it, ask him to it, he is just as responsible as you are.
After that, go to planned parenthood or another free clinic and discuss your options. You should tell both of your parents after you both come to a decision.
I want to stress that this is YOUR decision to make, and once you have all of the infromation you should make it and then tell your parents.
There is a high chance you are pregnant because you are 9 days late, so make yourself mentally prepared for that.
Remember that it is NOT the end of the world, regardless of what choice you make life goes on, and everyone makes mistakes.
In regards to friends with benefits, that is something people a bit older can participate in without consequences. A woman can and should enjoy her sexuality, however at 16 i would say your a young woman or woman in the making and friends with benefits aka sex with no strings attached is not something a sixteen year old is physically or emotionally ready for.

You better buy a medic pregnancy test at any drugstore. If it comes out negative, try another one just to make sure. Craving for salty and sweet food doesn't happen only when pregnant, you can also crave before menstruation. But better get a test. DON'T EVER THINK OF ABORTION. You have to be responsible for the act you've both made. If it comes out negative then better treat that experience as a lesson you should really learn from. Pregnancy is not a joke so is sex. It's better to be safe than sorry.

look, the worst part is over, the fear you have just thinking you are pregnant, your parents love you, right, whatever you do isn't going to change this, yes, they will be disappointed but you know what you did and if you are willing to take on the responsiblity of dealing with the consiquinses. They will see that and it will be ok. Parents seem hard because they have a lot of responsibilty just taking care of you and this makes them seem hard, but thier not, they will understand, maybe it won't seem that way at first but they will come around. remember if you are pregnant this baby is a blessing not a curse. It's not it's fault ,so think before you act. My daughter was 16 and came home sick from school, sick every morning and I knew, but didn't say anything to her because I didn't want to scare her. A Teacher called and said he thought she was pregnant, I told him I new. We Talked when she came home, She cryed and so did I, I wasn't mad, just disappointed and sad that she had this baby to raise. My daughter is now 20 yrs. old married and has another daughter, I'm a grandma at 38 yrs. old, shocking but I love them all so much. I wouldn't change a thing. My daughter and I are closer now because we went though all of that together. I hope you make the right choice, at least give your mom the respect and come forward so she can help you. If your not pregnant she can give addvise to prevent this happening again. talk to her be open, it makes for a better relationship for the both of you. You are loved!!!!

Your best bet would be to tell your parents. If you are pregnant they are going to find out whether you tell them or not. If you aren't pregnant, they still need to know that you're sexually active. They can either try to counsel you on abstaining from sex until you are older (or marriage) or get you some birth contraceptives.
Having sex at such an early age opens up a big can of worms. I am speaking from experience. Although young women can get pregnant and take care of that child, it is much harder than when you are prepared and older.
Whatever you decide to do, just don't remain silent. You seem smart by voicing an obvious concern. Continue to make smart decisions.
Be blessed!

After you have sex for the first time you can be late and not be pregnant. I am not saying you aren't but there is a chance that you aren't just like there is a chance you are. You need to take a test that is the only way to tell for sure or go to the doctor. If you are you will need to tell your parents but I would find out for sure first.

Sounds pregnant. Check out for the pregnancies symptoms such as morning sickness, breast changes, fatigue, frequent urination, mood changes, food cravings etc.
If you have the above symptoms, then get a pregnancy test done. The best is blood test to determine the HCG Hormone level. Good luck!!!!!

You may or may not be, what is most important is that you need to get checked out, being pregnant is one thing having an STD is another. It is not the end of the world, just one of life's bumps along the way. Go to your doctor, tell your parents, tell the boy that you need to be more careful, if he cares about you then he will get some condoms and use them, in fact you should have some as well.

I would also hope you learned that the various pop icons and sitcom/movie writers that have sold you on such a notion as "friends with benefits" live in Ivory towers buffered with walls of money and resources and leave real people like you to face real consequences.

You should take a pregnancy, if it confirms that your pregnant i would suggest that both you and your friend sit down with yours and his parents and tell them in a mature manner. From there you will be able to discuss your options with them.
If your not pregnant than you need to get your self on birthcontrol and practise safe sex.
