She is asking you to do it because she is scared and you are an adult. I would go to your mother with her and if she cannot do it I would tell her. I think that I would just tell her that Katie is afraid to tell her that she is pregnant. There is not an easy way to break it to her so do not beat around the bush. Do not be mad at her. She did not plan to end up pregnant (hopefully) and she needs support from the people that mean the most to her. Getting mad at her is not going to help anything and it is not going to make it go away either.

If Katie doesn't want to tell your mother than you need too. Even if you don't want to Its the right thing to do, so nothing bad goes wrong. All you should say to your mother is that Katie is pregnant, thats all you should have to do with it. Your mother should take care of whatever goes on with Katie after you tell her. You should ask Katie about her boyfriend or the baby's father. Does he know?, Is he going to stick around?. I'm sure you are in shock I can't imagine what'd it be like for that to happen. Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!

getting pregnant at 15 is not easy for anyone, cos its an age where you are still growing and the responsibilities of being a parent at this stage would be quite challenging.
It would be better if she could tell them directly, but obiviosly ur sis is not too confident about tellin them, cos she;s not gonna get a good reaction!
If she's really reluctant about telling them about it, u will have to make the move..
You cant hide a baby for too long;-)
When breaking the news, break it gently. They are gonna get really upset, and mad.
Stuff like
"Mom, we need to talk" or
"Guys (your parents) I need to tell you about something, but promise me you'll take it easy"
Make sure your parent are not in a bad mood or not immensely stressed at the time you break the news.. It will make things worse.. believe me..
be diplomatic. If you bluntly say it, things will be pretty bad..
Approach it subtly, slowly and gently break it.
It wont stop your parents from gettin mad with your sis, or stop your mom from crying, but it will ease the tension a bit..
Good luck

First of all, if she thinks she is grown up enough to have sex, then she should step up and behave like an adult, because she now has to be one! She is the one that did this, she HAS to be the one to tell your mom. You can be there with her, to support her, but it must come from her!
Try and be unbiased (as hard as that is going to be). Be supportive to your mom and your sister.
Tell Katie that she has just jump started her adult life, she needs to take responsibility for her actions.

Your sister should tell your mom, but don't be mad or upset with her. Katie is most likely scared. If you are there for her it will make her feel so much better. If this is what is meant to be, then take everything step, by step.

You are still in shock and I don't blame you. You have to talk to your sister, she needs you now. Let things within yourself calm down a bit than tell your sister she has to be the one to tell your mom. If she wants you there for support and you feel you can do it than that would be nice. But SHE has to be the one to tell her. She also must look up to you in order for her to come to you and talk. Be there for her because I am sure she is most likely scared to death and not just of your mom.

Someone needs to tell your mom because I am assuming Katie still lives with her.

Tell you mother now. She is too young. If no one wants the baby put it up for adoption. On the otherhand. Some 15 year olds have made great mothers. She may be one or not.

Your sister needs to take responsibility. Make her tell your mother, you can be there for moral support though....
Yes, she made a mistake. Yes, it was stupid. BUT, it's already done and there's nothing you can do about it. So, now, she needs help. Instead of shutting her out by not talking to her, why not give her some advice? You can still be supportive of her without supporting what she did.

i think you should talk to your sister... she told you because she needed support and you turned your back on her... thats wrong.. yeah shes 15 ... shes still your sister .. i was 15 when i got pregnant and i told my sister too .. and she helped me tell my mom ... its hard to raise a kid at that age ..but she can get htrough it with help .. and if youve ever had a child you would know how emeotional you get when your pregnant .. dont look down on her help her out .. your mom and the family wont be pleased but if she decided to have the baby at least back her up ..
