as a mom - this is my worst fear for my 14 year old daughter.
Not knowing them but knowing myself - my first reaction would not be a good one. All you can do is be like Nike - just do it but brace yourself and be calm. Once they gain control and perspective and you can talk calmly and make the right decisions over time (but probably not in the same night.) Many years ago-my younger sister was faced with the same situation. My parents were surprising calm and supportive - so you never know. I would have thought they would freaked. However, she was 19 and they got married and had three more kids. That baby is 30 today and my sister and her hubby divorced after 25 years. All the best to you, my friend. This is not an easy road.

Okay just out of the blue WITh your Boyfriend. Tell them that we are very sorry and we made a mistake and stuff like that. And then say Im pregnant. And like really shwo them your responsible. Say it at your house not somewhere like a mall becasue they'll probably be in shock adn like yell, whihc would make the situation worse. Good luck!

You can write your mom a letter, that way you don't have to see her reaction when she first hears the news. You can also have a close friend or your bf and his parents there when you tell them. What ever way you tell them, you should tell them soon. You need to start getting prenatal care and take vitamins.
They will be mad at first, but hopefully they will get over it and be supportive and excited to meet their grandchild.
I personally wrote my mom a letter when i was 16 and found out i was pregnant. She was disappointed, but supported me and everything i have done.
~Good luck!

Just let it out, and the sooner you tell them, the less upset they are likely to be...think of it this way. The first thing they are going to think about this situation is that they cannot trust you, and they will think you are irresponsible. But by telling them right now, they will eventually realize the responsibility you have taken in telling them ASAP....yes, I use it all the time, but with less serious situations. It should work out the same.

Just tell them straight. The sooner you tell them the better. Yeah they are going to be upset with you, but thats just something that you will have to prepare yourself for. You have already told all of Y!A, and this place has some of the cruelest parents in the world.

Have a sit down with them. Hopefully they will be very helpful. A baby is god's gift to you. Just come clean about the pregnancy. Your parents should be very understanding people. Sure, you could've waited a few more years, but you can't help when you get pregnant.
Just say this "Mom, Dad, I have something very hard to tell you, and I need you to promise you won't get mad at me. Please. this is a very happy, and scary moment in my life. My boyfriend and I.... we got close one night... and... well.. I got pregnant..."
That is my best advice, and congratulations about the pregnancy!

You need to be prepared that they will probably spaz out. You are 16, but it's not uncommon. Do you have a plan in place for your life? For the babies? Does your boyfriend include himself in this? If you do explain to them your plans to finish school, get a good job, whatever. It will reassure you and them that you are mentally capable of handleing the responsiblity of caring for this baby.
Because that will be one of the first things that shoot into their heads, your to young. You need to assure them that while you are young you and your man are going to buck up and be the best parents and not dump your kid off on them. Show them your ready. You can do it.
Your going to face allot and I mean allot of crap from people but if you prove strong it'll roll right off! The best of luck.

im pregnant too and ur age! trust me it was SO NOT EASY!! i wasnt brave enough to say it to his face that i ended up e-mailing him. my dad fliped out on me said some stuff he did not mean and i was under stress for a while! it wasnt easy and he was also angry he was the last to know cuzs my boyfriends family knew also like yours and were happy. your parents are going to b in shock and it will take a while for them to accept. they will tell you alot of neg. stuf but take it all in and think of it almost as if ur going to prove them wrong it might brake u down and make u wanna quit buh it will make u so much stronger! trust me it wil b hard buh u can do it ! qet @ mi if u need some one to talk to! best of luck!!

Although they may initially be upset I'm sure your parents love you and will be there for you. Just think about how much they care for you and tell them you need their support. Good luck!
