Why would anyone try to think of a "cute" way to tell her parents that she's pregnant at 16? That's a time when you just sit down and tell them, not try to get cutesy about it.

some things i have heard or thought of:
sending balloons to their home, pink and blue with a card that says "boy or girl, which do you think?"
wrap a copy of chicken soup for the grandparents soul
give them a christmas card that says "love (her name) and ??"
I gave them an album of baby related pictures (vaguely because I didn't want them to get it right away) such as a crosswalk (like the two lines) baby carrots, paisley and then I had a pic of me standing in front of a "bump ahead" sign. I left blank pages and then put my ultra sound.
with friends (i had fun with this) i'd say "husband and I decided when we're going to have kids." "oh, when?" "june."
they have cookies she can order online for this event too, but they're pricey. sorry i don't have the website :o)
they have blank puzzles you can buy and she could print i'm pregnant or having a baby or a picture of a baby and have her parents put it together
the comments about her being too young are pretty offensive. sure she's young but the bottom line is that she's having a baby, which is a beautiful thing and that's the reality of it.

At age 16 it is time to try to be mature about it and just tell them she's pregnant. I had a hard enough time telling my parents I was pregnant at age 29 on my own and only engaged to the father not yet married. I just couldn't say it so I gave them photo frames that said Grandma and Grandpa on them and we took them to a nice restaurant along with my now in laws we gave them frames too. They opened them all at once during dinner. It said it all. Good Luck.

I dont think there is a cute way to tell someone your pregnant. yes it is exciting news but you may just need to come out and say it, im pregnant and see what happens, theres no point beating around the bush. now as for the person who said that your friend needs to go back and have an abortion, well she needs to shut her mouth. its not her baby and its not her life so she should keep her opions to her self. maybe she could ask them if they want to become grand parents yet or what there thoughts are? she could start buying things for the baby and soon there going to relise theres a baby coming. im not sure. but good luck

Who is she closer to. I know it may sound bad but when I got pregnant the first time, I only told my mom. Dad didnt know untill about 6 months lol. Thats about when he realized all the signs and not to mention my getting fatter.
I wouldnt really think of a cute way rather then a way to talk to them without killing you if they are that kind of people. my mom is really laid back and she knew I was having sex so she knew the possability was there. does her parents know shes having sex?
If you dont want to tell them to there face, send them a card that says congratulations your going to be grandparents. Then write a letter to each of them explaining your situation. Sorry I couldnt help you more. Oh and please dont abort the baby. Its not the childs fault your prego. Good Luck to you!

Get a pair of baby booties and put them in a box and wrap it. Labeling it to "Grandma and Grandpa".
I don't really know. I found out in September that I'm pregnant. I had no cute way of telling my parents or anything.
I'm 16 as well... and 17 weeks pregnant.
Good luck and congrats to her!

um if she's 16 there will be no cute way to tell her parents! why are people having sex at 16? she is just going to have to sit them down and say look, i made the decision to have sex, and now i am pregnant. the best thing she can do would to tell her parents her plan- hopefully it is to realize she's gonna be a mom and have a kid to support, so she will have to realize she will have to give up a lot of things, like going out on the weekends, probably not be in school activities anymore, get a job, etc. and relay this to her parents so they see that she is mature enough to realize that now she is responsible for someone else's life, and she wants to give her baby a good life. And good for you and your friends for wanting to support her, maybe you could be with her when she does, for moral support. Just continue to be her friend, even after the baby is born, because unfortunately some of her friends may decide they don't want to hang out with her once the baby is born.

ur a Dee Dee Dee: SERIOUSLY why are you commenting in the pregnancy section if ever question you answer has "GET AN ABORTION" in it?
Back to answering this question...
I'm 16, When I found out I was pregnant I basically like threw the test at my mom! I was in complete shock. It's a really tough thing to do, your friend is going to get alot of criticizing comments about it. But only she will know whats best for her!
I wish your friend the best of luck!!!!

I think that announcing to her parents at christmas is a bad idea. Trying to tell them in a "cute" way may backfire on her. But if you insist then I agree that the congrats on being a grandparent card is the way to go. Good luck!

If you know the sex of the baby already you could give them a ballon sayin "its girl.. or boy" .. Also since Christmas is coming you could give a gift to Gma & Gpa. .. and being pregnant at 16 is pry not the most exciting thing, but even if her parents are mad & pissed off at the beginning when they see their grandbaby nothing else will matter to them.. so no worries if things start out rough.

There is no cute way of a 16 year old telling her parents that she is pregnant. She just need to tell them. Tell her to have someone there to pick up her parents broken hearts off the floor when she does.
