Answer 1

regardless of your situation with the father or boyfriend or whatever, you have to tell your parents.  they will find out eventually and they will respect you more if you are up front with them and adult enough to just go to them and tell them.  start there.  but keeping it a secret is stupid.  you need to be seen by a doctor and you can only keep it a secret for so long anyway.

Answer 2

The best way is just to be honest and humble and tell them the complete truth.  It would only get worse by waiting until they found out.

Answer 3

You have to tell them. Or if not go to a trusted adult, aunt, cousin, sister, grandma, anyone. You have to go get checked. You can't just go along hiding your pregnancy. There's a living creature in your body you don't know for sure if everything is going good with the pregnancy. Tell your parents you really have to. For the sake of you and your baby. Yes, the might be mad and upset, but it's the right thing to do. You should have thought about this before you had s*x.

Answer 4

just be honest with them and tell them soon, because if they find out later, they are gonna be very upset and your mom will be hurt because shes gonna wanna know why couldnt you come to her. and what will happen is they will be upset only for a little while but when you start to show they will begin to show happiness because they know thats their grandchild in the oven, and when you do have your baby-they will be very happy( all parents are like that); and if you dont think that you can tell them alone, talk to another family member like your aunt, cousin, or sister(if shes older): and do it together.

and you need to start having your checkups (asap) because im sure you want a healthy child, and your parents would want a healthy grandchild.

Dont beat yourself up about this, you are one year from being 18, this is your senior year, so dont drop out finish your education so you can provide the best care for your child. (good-luck);

Answer 5

HAVE THE BABY

Answer 6

just come right out and tell them.  once you start showing they're going to know, and probably be more upset that you hid it for so long.  you need to tell them asap and get to a doctor, you need to start taking prenatal vitamins if you haven't already, and regardless of the situation with your bf, you need your parents support during this time.  it will be better if you tell them now rather than waiting a few more months till you show.  good luck.

Answer 7

Answer 8

hey hon.

i am also 17, going into my senior year of highschool in september,

and i am 10 weeks pregnant.

i know how you feel hon, i can relate, i really can.

youre afraid to tell your parents, afraid of their reaction.

its okay, they will be mad for a few minutes.

your parents love you and they want what is best for you.

you need to sit down with your mom or dad and tell them the news.

i know its easier said than done, i had to do it and now everythings fine.

once you tell them, you can at least decide what your going to do.

whether it be surgical abortion, medical abortion( pills for under 9 weeks of pregnancy), adoption, or keeping the baby.

you need to remember that your parents do love you, my mom had me when she was 19, she got pregnant on me in her senior year.

its all good now, her parents took it good, she had me, she loves me and now im in the same situation.

i look to my mom for hope, and inspirtation.

i tell myself everyday that if my mom could do it, so can i.

i have not decided if i am keeping or not yet.

but i will.

its not easy, thats for sure.

you need to sit down with you mom and dad and break the news softly.

please, do it for your own health and the health of the baby you and your boyfriend created.

its kinda of cool when you think about it isnt it?

you created a human life.

i love thinkin about it.

i love my boyfriend, we've been together sinve we were 14.

i couldnt ask for a better daddy.

we're engaged.

so please tell your mom and dad. okay?

please.

let me know how it all goes hon.

contact me somehow.

xoxo : ]

Answer 9

uhm. if it were me

i would be straight forward.

its better to tell the truth then too lie to your parents.

it would benefit you.

Answer 10

I would just come out and say it. It's best they know before it's too obvious.

Answer 11

you NEED to see a docter asap that is very important for you and your babies health.

and your parents might be mad about it at first. but im sure they love you and they will have to understand taht you made a mistake and that you need their help. and they should be willing to help you out.

the longer you wait the harder it will be for you.

good luck :]

Answer 12

you really need to confront your parents and just tell them straight up. they need too know

Answer 13

I personally know how hard it is to tell your parents something like that, but you have to and you know that. Just keep in mind that whatever happens, your child is fully dependent on you. Try to make the best decisions you can from here on out.

And I do not actually know your parents, but chances are they are not going to disown you and they will love you regardless of the mistakes you make.

Answer 14

you should tell the truth to your parents.don't abbort the child.good luck!

Answer 15

You need to talk to your parents right away and then go to Plan parenthood to be told options. Even if you decide to keep the baby (vs. abortion or adoption) don't drop out of school (could even do your last year at home) since you are so close to the goal to graduating. I know you probably love your bf. but he sounds like he may not always be there for you. Either financially or emotionally. So do what you have to do for yourself and the child.

Even if that means adoption for the child.

Be brave and listens to options and do the right thing for all concerned, whatever that may be.  

Answer 16

I just reccomend that you just tell them and leave the room until they cool down then go back and talk. It won't be easy any way you go about it.
