Well you are both young so don't rule anything out.

Parenthood isn't just about money and maturity.

 

Sit your parents down and explain that you are pregnant.

They are your parents and they will love you unconditionally, even if it means that they have to say "told you so" before coming to terms with the severity of the situation.

 

Be understanding of why they may be upset. You are young and they did their best to raise you well.

 

Have you got a place to stay?

Do you live with your parents?

I think you just need to sit down with your parents and tell them the truth. You know they are not going to be happy about it, but there is a baby coming and it's very important that you have their support, and that you get prenatal care immediately and throughout your pregnancy. Be prepared for a lecture, because you were warned and it happened anyway when it was preventable, but tell them that although you know they are upset, that you need their support and would really appreciate it.

 

I feel for you and your bf, both so young to be parents, esp. your bf whom I assume has not yet finished high school, hopefully he will be able to, and if you have your parents' support, perhaps you can still go to college and get a good education for yourself.

 

Let us know how it goes.

Where do you live?

 

If you aren't planning on keeping and are going to get an abortion anyway...please don't make this the deciding factor but if your going to get an abortion anyway if you are in Canada or parts of Europe you can get an abortion anyway right nto without telling your parents. Especially Canada go to the health unit and they can give an abortion for free completely and confidential.

The poster said she was definitely keeping the baby.

since you are keeping the baby, tell them ASAP, they have the right to know. But do not let them badger you, if they start to try to make you feel awufl about it just walk away. This is the point where you are grwoing up very very quieckly, being a young girl is going right out the window in about 7 - 8 months... So you need to accept this and start by being an adult with your parents. Taking responsibility for your actions, or get an abortion and accept the fact hat you are not ready. If you are scared of your parents badgering, tthen you are not ready. You need to be able to stand up to people, if you plan on raising and standing up for your kids.

 

Good luck
