How to tell my parents if I'm pregnant?

I'm scared, like freaken out scared.
I'm waiting to take the pregnancy test, but I most likely know what I am.
my parents don't even know I have a boyfriend. last time I talked to my mom about someone she told me to forget about him and forget about my feelings for him. I'm still with the guy I was talking about to her.
I've thought of so many ways to tell them, but I imagined it the way I wanted it to go,
I thought about abortion, but I know I can't live my life knowing I did something like that.
but then again thinking about being pregnant makes me happy, like I can't wait for it.
BUT THE HARD THING IS, telling my parents about it.
I know I shouldn't worry about it YET, until I take the test. I just want some advice in ways I can tell them.

PS. don't tell me, "just tell them straight up" cause thats going to make everything worse okay? and I don't want you guys ragging on me.

thanks

I would get your boyfriend to come with you to your parents, it may make them feel better that your boyfriend is taking responsibility. Tell them that you have been going out for a while. Then you will jusy have to break it to them that you are pregnent. This will be tough but if your boyfriend is there comforting you then you will find it easier. Your parents will probably be really mad and upset, but this will pass over time. Just get it over and done with as soon as you find out. Its the best way. Don't leave it! hope this helps,

everything will be alright. I think you should go to planned parenthood and talk to a counselor. they have hella experience with this and can give you advice on how to talk to your parents. they are experts with this kind of thing. you will feel better after you talk to them. good luck

Sweetie your parents are going to freak out for the first couple hours or so. BUT believe me if they love you they will not hate you they'll look at you as the daughter who is carrying their grandchild. Calm down, now for him if he cares he'll stay by your side, if he doesn't then it was a mistake, BUT don't hate the child for. And I beg of you don't get an abortion, you'll hate yourself forever. Not trying to be hateful.

I would hurry and take the test first. Go and do it today if you can. If it is positive then the only thing I could tell you to do other than talking to your parents up front would be to maybe go to another relative that you feel comfortable with and let them have a talk with your parents. I was 18 when I first became pregnant and married and I was still nervous about telling my parents... lol... they did not want me to get married or have kids so early because they wanted me in college. But anyway, my Mom kinda cried for like 30 minutes and then she was fine. They are going to be upset and mad but they love you and hopefully will be willing to help you with everything. Just remember that when they are fussing at you and everything seems so bad. The sooner you tell them after you find out the better. I hope everything works out for you. Good Luck and God Bless!

susanfullofadvice,
I would want to take the test NOW, but I think its not going to show what I am yet.

to everyone else,
they always told me, that they'd kick me out. I'm scared of that.

I thought of how my mom would tell me I'm stupid.
they always told me to keep my legs closed. and be responsible.

I think if they told me that I wasn't responsible, I'd say
" I am, you guys always told me to take responsiblity for the actions I do. I'm not going to give something up. how would it feel if you had to give me and my brother up?"

ugh. thats what I'm scared of. them not loving me anymore

How far along do you think you are? And your parents will love you no matter what. They will be mad and dissapointed in you but the love won't just go away. As far as kicking you out they are more than likely just saying that. My parents said the same thing when I was younger but if I would have gotten pregnant before I got married then they would never have kicked me out! Try to relax until you can find out for sure!

when you do find out, you are going to have to ignore that pit in your stomach and spill your guts. don't reherse your probable answers. you want to be sincere. how your parents react is not up to you, and you may be surprised to hear what comes out of their mouths, and also what your responses will be. no matter what happens, please understand that their are SO many resources available to you. if your parents don't want to be part of the solution, there are many other individuals, programs, and organizations that do. feel free to funmail me if you need help finding some in your area. if you are pregnant, congratulations, and welcome to the club.

thank you guys for the replies.

I'll keep you guys posted in a week or so about the test.

Just tell your parents
they love you and will accept this within time
and they will love your child
be mature about it
but also explain that you need them and love them

everything will be fine

love

I was thinking of bringing my boyfriend home and have him by my side while I introduce him and then bring up being pregnant

" last time I talked to my mom about someone she told me to forget about him and forget about my feelings for him. I'm still with the guy I was talking about to her. " were you talking bad about him after a fight or something? why does she have a distaste for him before she has met him. you may want to clear that up before you bring him home and introduce him as your baby's daddy.

no I wasnt talking bad about him. I was trying to tell my mom that I cared about that guy a lot. but she told me that I shouldn't have these feelings. that its just a stage.

but the thing is, I care about him more than anything.
I'm not trying to "diss" my parents. but I can say my parents wouldn't like him cause of his ethnicity
my parents are the type who was the same ethnicity as us. FILIPINO.
my boyfriend isn't a bit of it, hes japanese and portuguese.
sounds racist doesnt it. -___-
thats how my parents are.

You can take a test these days 7 days before you are due for your period so how do you think its not going to work yet? You would have to be clarevoyant to know otherwise so go buy one and try it you never know it may work already. Mel

I'm due for my period on april 10. my cousin suggested to take it on april 5 or around there. so yeah.

I'm might just buy one tomorrow. if I can get the money for it.

just come out and say it I'm 16 teen and I'm about to have a baby and I didn't tell my mom and tell just a month ago and I'm 6 months and she like hates me now

gaabyholand when she sees your bub she will chill out. It took my mum 3 months to accept I was pregnant when I was 16 and then I miscaried. But when she did get used to it she was bragging about being a granma so young lol. Parents can suprise you sometimes. They only ever get angry because they care.
