I am about 1 month pregnant, but none of my friends (except for a few who were sworn to secrecy) know about it. It's gonna start getting obvious, so how do I tell people that I'm pregnant? And how can I tell the teachers that I'm not irresponsible?

you have to be confident about this - hold your head up high and be proud, you are going to be somebody's mother! good for you. don't worry about what the other teachers think - that's none of their business and you know what, it doesn't matter what you say / announce / tell people - there still will be the 'ones' who will think badly of you anyway...those people are always out there and there's no point in worrying about them - you have to live you life and not fret about what others think. as the old expression goes 'Let he who is without sin cast the first stone' - those people (teachers) you are so worried about have (I am 100% sure) done plenty other wrongful / shameful / stupid acts over the course of their lives and your act is none of those things - it's an outcome you should be delighted / excited / invigorated about!!
I would wait until a certain amount of time has passed before I start telling people - 1 month is a bit soon, normally people tell very close family and friends at this stage - i think it's 3 months that people advise to wait to tell the general populus
as for the kids at school - they are kids....don't worry about them as they will either (a) work it out themselves and start asking you directly if you are pregnant - which would be easier to admit rather than announce i think (b) hear it from you and just take it as a piece of 'news' and it will either be irrelevant or relevant and they'll ask questions (or not ask) according to which category they fit into.
this is all about YOU and your new baby. worrying about other people shouldn't come into the frame. i always think people place too much emphasis on 'what others think' and the harsh reality of the situation is that after the initial gossiping has died down, people don't really care - it's about you and how you feel that matters - if you are happy and you are looking forward to being a mother then you can simply convey that air to others and they can make of it what they will!
best of luck to you! :-)

Ok, I read your other question .. if you truly were raped, then it is NOT your fault and you are NOT irresponsible.
Anyway, don't worry about those people .. you can explain to your close friends what happend -- as for the teachers .. it's none of their business! You're graduating this year anway, so you won't be seeing them much longer.
I commend you for being anti-abortion .. I am anti-abortion as well.
I know God has a plan, in everything he does. That child of yours is meant to be .. enjoy the pregnancy and enjoy the baby. Every minute of it!
My son was unexpected (I got pregnant on the pill) .. but he is the best thing that has ever happend to me!
I read your "about me" section .. you come from a big family, which means LOTS of support! You are not alone, kid!
good luck to you!

Just tell them you're pregnant. It's not up to any teacher to tell you whether or not you've been irresponsible in sexual matters. That's private. If they butt in just tell them that it's really none of their business.

thats hard.. well before you tell others does your parents know about this?! it's better to tell your family first.. because it won't be pretty if your parents finds out about it through your classmates or teachers... if you did tell your family it's better to let your parent speak to your teacher... do you really want to tell your whole class that your pregnant it's better to share this with your most trusted friends.. and what do you plan to do? are you going to continue your pregnancy.. ? as myself im a bit worried because i think that im pregnant but i still dont know.. well gud luck to you girl.. :)

honestly, just tell them. you most likely wont have to tell them anything for a few more months. most girls can get away with hiding their baby bump til at least month 4. and as to your teachers. you dont have to tll them anything let alone prove anything to them. they arent the judge and jury that your trying to convience everything is going to be okay. thats you and only you. good luck hun ^_^

Hi,
Since you are not 100% sure, just tell them you
are in the family way. If this eventuates, you can explain
it, if not you dont have to .
