You tell them. Mom, Dad I did something stupid like not using protection and got pregnant. Hope that is all that happened to you, and you don't have an STD also.

mom, dad, i'm pregnant...well i dunno, it's kinda tough, you're gonna have to trust them with starters, and then tell them eventaully, it's better than them finding out on their own.

You have to tell them. The sooner the better. Go ahead and get it over with. It will be alot easier if you do. The longer you wait, the less time they have to prepare, and help you prepare. It's time to step up to the plate, and you'll do fine! Good luck.

i hope that you tell them, it can be a hard thing, but they should now. i thought i was pregnant when i was a teen and said something to my mom, she handled it very well, even though mine was a false alarm. i guess it is how close you are to your parents to how they will react. good luck

You should have to tell your parents about your present situation. Expect that they will get angry on you and you should accept the consequences because you made a mistake. Ask forgiveness from them, accept your fault and don't say anything after you reveal to them that your pregnant. At first, they will get angry on you but from time to time they can accept your situation. It happened already. What you should do next after their acceptance is that, prove to your parents that you're getting responsible. Now that you're soon be a mother. Try to prove to them that you can stand by your own feet. That's all.

Elizabeth,When you say teen, for your sake with your parents, and, whoever you had sex with...his predicament with your parents...and possibly the police...I hope you're talking the upper end of the teens and not the lower end. You may end up having to talk with the the police after you talk to your parents....he also.If you considered yourself mature enough in your teens to have sex, then you should have been able to prevent yourself from getting pregnant. There is the morning after pill, condoms, birth control. So, it seems obvious that you wanted to get pregnant. You need to handle this with the same effort you put into having sex....Don't hold off...just walk over, sit down with your parents and tell them that you all need to have a talk.Then just tell them outright what has happened. Then...let them speak or ask questions.You have to be prepared for their reactions though...good or bad.

if you plan to keep the baby , its best you tell them the truth !

I was once in a similar situation...I agree with one of the posters, if you are closer to one parent than the other maybe you can talk to that one alone (at first). Either way, it is something that is going to have to be told. Yes, it will be hard, and yes, it will be scary. But it is like jumping off a diving board--the step off the board is the hardest. Once you get those words out of your mouth it will be a great relief to you. You have many many decisions to make now, and I can tell you life just got harder, but you really need to have an adult that you trust helping you get through this period in your life. Having a baby is scary--even as an adult---with your first pregnancy there are so many unknowns as what to expect. You really need to tell them as soon as possible because believe me, a ton of weight will be lifted off your shoulders and then hopefully you will be able to make informed decisions with the help of an adult that loves you and wants the best for you. I wish you the best.
