How to tell my parents i'm pregnant?

Question

ok so lets just say my best friend is pregnant and does not know how to tell her parents she is 17 soon to be 18, her parents are nice understanding people, how should she tell them, when, and what response will she get from them?

HELP!!!

Answer 1

tell her to say ooppss

Answer 2

You just go see both sets of parents with your boyfriend, and say we have TWO big news items to tell you! First of all, we're getting married as soon as possible - and second - you are going to be grandparents! Hooray!

Then just hug and kiss and start planning!

Answer 3

make sure [[just in case]] they are sitting down

then tell them straight out "I'm pregnant"

wait for their response

one of their questions must be "how are you going to take care of the baby" or "why did you do this,does the father know,how do you plan to finish school"

be ready to answer ALL of those & pleanty more

GOOD LUCK BABE<3

Answer 4

I think the best way in this situation is to sit them down and be straight and honest with them.  Understandably I am sure her parents may be angry about the situation.  Other than that I couldn't tell you because I am not them.

Answer 5

sit them down.

tell them by looking into their eyes.

accept full responsibility of the baby

Answer 6

Keep it simple:  "Mom, Dad, I'm in trouble, and I need your help -- I'm pregnant."  There is aboslutely NO way you can tell them that is going to lessen the shock, the disappointment and the concern, and possibly the anger, so don't even TRY to sugar-coat it.  Just get it out on the table, get it over with, and start to deal with it.  Remember, they may feel that they "failed" as parents, so they are going to be working through that grief, too, as well as all the other emotions. You've had some time to get used to the idea, even if it's just a week or so.  You're going to be dropping them on this like an atom bomb, so give them a chance to cry, etc. without feeling too bad.

There's no other way to do it, except to watch "Juno" with them, and start crying when she reads the pregnancy test :-)

Answer 7

um sit them down and tell them that it wasnt something you were planning to do but you will take full responsibilty of the baby like and adult! The response who knows! But just have faith in God and hope everything would be fine!!!!!

srry if i said you idk if its really you or your bff!

Good Luck!

Answer 8

Being honest is the best approach.  I just called my mom and told her.  They will probably be disappointed in her and may or may not be supportive.

Answer 9

Just start calling them grandma/grandpa. They'll get the point eventually.

Answer 10

Just tell them you might get a disappointed response but after a while they will get over it and realize they only have 1 you
