first, before you get all stressed out, go to your doctor and confirm if you are or are not pregnant.
then, if you are pregnant, you need to find out how far along you are and explore your options. there are a lot of clinics that you can go to to have confidential abortions done. however, if you are not planning on having an abortion, the smartest thing would be to tell your parents right away.
i'm almost positive your parents are going to be very shocked, dissapointed and upset, but let them know that you did use a condom, and that there's nothing you can do about it now because you are indeed pregnant. tell them how scared and confused you are, and let them know that you need their help in figuring out what to do. also, apologize for what happened, and ask them to help you get on birth control and buy more condoms once you have everything figured out. try to make the best decision for you and (if you are pregnant) your baby. good luck!

First and foremost please remember: No matter what choice you make in this matter, THIS is not the end of your life. Your life will continue, it will be great and this turmoil you are currently going through will not stay this way.
That being said...if you are pregnant, be honest and mature about it. Yes, its serious matter, but one that has lots of choices and should be handled maturely. Your parents might appear upset, but its really they are just shocked, as most parents assume their children will be married and then have children. But its okay if things don't always work out how others hoped.
Be mature. Hear them out. Tell them you are shocked and freaked out too (I'm guessing you are) but that you are willing to do what it takes to be mature, knowing no matter what the outcome it will be hard. And then tell them that they aren't bad parents (as you aren't a bad kid) and that you look forward to their support, once the initial shock wears off. And keep everyone focused...sometimes, ppl will say stuff like "When you were 8, you said you didn't even like boys!" or "You don't have a bf and we haven't had the 'talk' "...stuff like that. Help them stay focused by saying, "Let's concentrate on the here and now".
You can do this. It will work out. The fact that you even asked shows maturity and concern on your part.

Why don't you buy a pregnancy test somewhere?...see if you're actually pregnant, if you're not then take it as a warning, you might be going too far!...
If you are pregnant, then sit back and think...is there anything you can fix by moaning or sighing?; no, you have chosen to be pregnant, if you were aware of the possibilities of getting an STD or get pregnant you would have bought a condom at least.
So, if you had the guts to have sex unprepared, then have the guts to stand tall and tell your parents, they can help you out

Find out if you actually are first. No need to get your poor mother and father a heart attack if there isn't anything to worry about. If you are pregnant, sit your mother down alone and tell her first. Mothers are usually less crazy than fathers in this circumstance. The two of you can talk to your father together. Talk to them as soon as you find out...you need good advice and a doctor as soon as possible.
If it turns out you are NOT pregnant, you still need to talk to your mother. Let her know that you have become sexually active, you did use protection, but that you think it is time to get on the pill. She'll appreciate you being responsible...btw, don't stop using condoms just because you are on the pill. You still need to protect from diseases. Good luck to you, and please be responsible about sex from now on!

If you go to a pregnancy center, they have free testing and counselors who can help you figure all this out. You may want to have someone there who can mediate the talk. Another good idea is to write down everything you want to say so you don't leave anything out- but do have a face-to-face conversation. I wish the best for you. Hopefully this is just a pregnancy scare, in which case I'm sure you've learned how important birth control is.

One should think about these things before they jump in the hay. There are other consequences you will have to pay and telling your parents will be nothing compared to that. Try this to soften the blow "Mom, Dad your going to have a grandchild" but you must be absolutely sure you are pregnant before saying anything.

There is no easy way to tell them. They may be mad at first, but they will calm down. The sooner you tell them, the sooner they can start helping and supporting you. Sitting around worrying about it only puts you through stress longer. Talk to them now, ready or not.

find out if you are pregnant first. If not, then you don't need to tell them, and THEN start using protection and get the PILL.
If you are pregnant, Tell them right away.
Just say, Mom, DAD. I am pregant. What more do you think you need to say???
They will start to look like Ghosts, and look like they will need medical attention.
