Answer 1

text them..  it's 2008 thats how you do things nowadays.

Answer 2

Just tell them that you know you made a mistake but you are pregnant and you really need their love and support right now.  There really isn't any way to soften the blow, you just have to sit down with them and tell them.  They will probably be upset with you at first, but they should come around.  Good Luck!

if one of my daughters ( I have 4) were to get pregnant at 15 I would hope they would tell me by phone about 100 miles away so it would be impossible for me to wring their neck.Seriously you have no choice but to be straight forward.. this is one of those things you can't sugar coat.

just tell them dosent seem easy but its not going to fo away she might get mad but she will have to l ive with it and they will support you so let them know what you feel and what you want to do best of luck

Answer 11

Mum, Dad, I'm feeding for 2..

Should get your drift

Answer 12

Listen you need to sit them down and talk to them about this difficult situation.Also be aware of them being upset, angry or dissapointed in you, or on the other side they may be happy !

I suggest you talk to them when no one is in the house except from you three :  Mum

                            Dad

                            You

Just dont worry or panic about anything! The sooner you tell them the better it will be!

good luck and all the best x*x

But I thik that u should go and tell thm that Mom,Dad I have a confesion to make I am preg plzz 4give me and then just talk to them..Try talking to the one who is more closer 2 u..

Answer 14

the best to do is sit down with which parent you feel you can open up more to,, if they both are about the same then tell both at the same time. it might help say if you told your mom first and she can help you to tell your father or other way around.. there's really no way to soften the blow.. just let them know that you will take on the responsibility of your actions, and go from there, if you know how you feel about it and what you want to do tell them,, best of luck,,,

Answer 15

Hey I'm in the same boat as you right now I might be pregnant and I dunno how to tell my mom that. The only thing I know is to be completely honest with them. Yes they might be very very angry but they will get softer once they realise what you have to go through at such a young age. Sit them done and say "Mom...Dad, I made a huge mistake and I understand if you will be very angry because of it but I need to tell you. I'm going to be completely honest with you guys right now. I'm pregnant." That would be the best way to say it. Good luck:)

Answer 16

Sorry it's hard to get around any other way, but here's a speech that may help.

Mom,  I have made a mistake in life and I need to talk to you.  It will be disappointing I know and hope you don't hate me, but the fact of the matter is that  I am pregnant......

This is where she says, _____, what were you thinking?  Do you realize you have messed up your life as a pregnant teen?  Do you know how much it costs to raise a baby? Who's the father? Etc.....

Expect the lecture, but there is nothing you can do to not get scolded from the shock.  When they come to their sences they will be able to sit down with you and discuss your options.  They still love you no matter what.  Remember they were young once too. As devestating it may seem, we all make mistakes in life and learn to deal with them.  

I was in your same position when I was 19 and pregnant with my son  and  my son had that same discussion with me when he was 21.  I love my son and he loves his daughter.  Neither were planned pregnancies but sometimes life throws in a curve ball.  Good luck in the decisions that you have coming up.  It takes a lot of thought but the decision will ultimately be yours.  Personally I couldn't have done the abortion thing, I would have rather given him up before I did that.  Instead I had a rocky marriage.  What ever you do, never marry for the sake of the child.  I don't regret raising my son, but it was a hard path.  I feel life would have been easier giving him to adoptive parents that could have provided better.  Think of the best interest of the child and what you can do in raising the child or giving it a better life.   Good Luck and God Bless you!

Answer 17

Make sure they're in a good mood and tell them you want to talk.

"Mom, dad, I'm pregnant with - so and so -."

Then tell them of your plan of what to do, like if you're going to keep it or abort it or give it away.

Answer 18

Omg! I got pregnant at the age of 15 now 21! My dad hated the guy I was with cuz of his last name. And I mean hated. My dad and the court put a 2 year restraining order on him, plus he had to do 30 days in jail. All because I was 15 and he was 16. I thought the guy had to be 18 to go to jail but nope. I just told my mom first and she told my dad. What can you do?! You made a mistake they should be supportive and help you become a responsible young mother not be mean to you or make your life h**l because of it. Good luck hun! But Im 21 now and me and the father are still together. We have 2 children now. But we got through everything and are happier than ever now!

Answer 19

There really is no easy way to do it.  I would tell them face to face then maybe write your mom a letter and give it to her, saying how scared you are and that you need her help.  Best of luck to you, and remember even if they are upset at first they wont stay mad forever.

Answer 20

Just be honest with them. They'd appreciate that more than if you lied to them, trust me. And don't let anyone sway your opinion on what you want to do. Do what YOU want to do, not anyone else, at the end of the day it's your body. Hope it goes well.x

Answer 21

I'm not going to criticize you, because what's done is done and nothing can be done about it. What you need to do is tell your parents you need to talk, and sit them down. It will be hard, no doubt about it! But you need to. Tell them that you made a stupid mistake and although it wasn't planned, you are pregnant. You need to tell them so you can get prenatal care and stay healthy for the baby.

Answer 22

Sit your folks down and say "Mum, Dad, I don't know how to tell you this but I am pregnant and I don't know what to do.  I'm am really scared right now and really need your support.  Please help me."
