How can i tell my parents if im pegnant?

Question

im 17 and well hte real problem is that i live in a small primarily christian town but know one would even blink if my parents seriously did kick me out and my parents are kind of old fashioned and have only told me about a million times that they will kill both me and my bf if even have s*x. im pretty sure they won't actually kill me since i am the baby of the family but my dad might just shoot my bf if he gets the chance. i really need help on how i can tell them without them hating me.(or killing my bf)

Answer 1

My parents are extremly protective too. I was raised Catholic so they have always been real stuck on the "no s*x before marriage". My parents HATED the guy that I was dating, but when they found out that I lost my virginity to him they were more disappointed... not mad. Parents always act a lot toughter, but when it comes down to it... they were young once too. They might be mad at first, but it will fade with time.

Good luck!

Answer 2

Do you know if you are even pregnant? Seriously, find out if you are before you even worry about this stuff. It causes a lot of unnecessary stress and drama.

Answer 3

You should just tell ASAP the longer you leave it the harder it will get, any way its kind of a hard thing to hide. They are your parents and they will do the right thing by you, they wont hate you. They may be a little dissappointed but that will soon wear off and excitement will take over. Good luck.

Answer 4

Hm..sucks for you. Ok, don't be mad at me for suggesting this(applies also to other posters), but you DO know you have a choice, right? Your biggest worry is not telling your parents, it's whether you want to keep this baby or not.

I don't want to discourage you or anything, but if you were planning on seriously attending college and having a carreer after high-school, then having a baby is going to mess it all up. You're going to be so many miles behind other 17 year old teens at the starting line of life that you might give up on the way. Raising a child is hard enough, at 17 it's even harder, not to mention it's unfair for the child to be born on the streets(IF they kick you out) and with no father(IF he gets killed).

But if you decide you want to keep the child, then go to your parents together with your boyfriend when they're in a good mood, cook them a nice meal, brace them for it, ask that they sit down and then break the news gently. Tell them that it's really serious, that you were gonna get married at 18 anyway, that you feel prepared and so on.

They'll be mad at first but you're their daughter and, if they truly love you, they will give you the support you need.

Hope this is helpful.

im 21 and having the same problem trying to tell my parents and his parents that i am 3 months pregnant. His parents are extremem old fashion, they didnt take it well. but with my first kid, what i did was took a home pregnancy test came out positive put it on a paper towel and laid it on the table, they finally seen it and confronted me about it. they was shocked at first, cause pregnancy is a big shocker due with first kid and baby of the family. but they excepted it about a week later and now they wont put her down, they talk to her on the phone every day, always want pictures. it might go smoother than what you think. just be honest with them, the more you lie about it or hide it the worst its going to get!! good luck!! and congrats
