Parents of teens aged 15-17!! Please answer!

Question

If you found out your daughter or son (ages 15-17) was pregnant, or got someone pregnant.... I'm curious how you would respond.

Kids are afraid to tell parents that they have obviously made a mistake.

But honestly, Would you be like extremely angry, or would you support them?

Honesty please.

(:

Answer 1

First of all, I would thank her for having enough courage to tell me. Then I would hug her and tell her I love her. Then I would ask a lot of questions and give her a lecture. (I'd probably being crying) Then I would tell her, I'll help with the baby and that everything will be ok.  

Answer 2

It would depend on who they are pregnant by or had gotten pregnant, because if they are in a committed relationship it isn't as bad, but if it is someone random, then that's when you get mad. I'm a teen, and never gotten pregnant, but at my school there is plenty of teen mothers...

Answer 3

I would support him/her, and whatever decision they would make!

Answer 4

I am not a mom ^^;;; but I would

Daughter: I would ask her everything that happened  then I would ask the doctor. I would support it then I would either Take care of it myself, taking the rights, Or I would let her have the rights but me take care of it.

Son: I would tell the son everything that happened then ask if the girl has been doing it with other men, and tell him to take care of the child, with my help and the mothers help.

Answer 5

I would react exactly how Juno's parents did.

Answer 6

i would be extemely angry if it was my daughter and less angry if it was my son but there i no use crying over spilt milk and i would still support them in there decision because they already made the mistake and maybe its a life lesson and they will probably learn something but you know you never know what you will really do untill that day comes when they might walk into the house and tell you they had unprotected s*x

Answer 7

I am the mother of a 15 year old daughter and 18 year old son. I can tell you that I would feel many things if my daughter was to come home and tell me she was pregnant. I would be hurt that she decided to take her relationship to the level that involves s*x and did not talk to me about getting her protected. I would be mad that she did not listen to the many talks we have had about how s*x at a early age changes things and no matter what you have to protect yourself. I would be scared that her body would have to carry a baby for 9 months and then go through the pain of labor and delivery. I would also be worried about what choices we would make about the baby.

No matter what I would be feeling I would support her no matter what. I don't always agree with her choices and many times I have to change them but she is still my daughter and I support her.

Answer 8

It wouldn't be an either/or situation. Most parents would do both, I think. I certainly would.

Answer 9

It depends actually.

I've got a friend who's pregnant when she's 17. She had no choice but to break this news to her parents. They were angry initially. But 5 years later, so what if they were angry? Now her parents are supporting their granddaughter...

I'm sure in the initial stage, when news is broken, you'll feel really mad [[that goes the same for every situation]], but then again, since its your own family members, I'm sure the baby will bring you joy? :)

Answer 10

Well I'm not a parent, but if i was this is what i would do (:P)

i would yell at her. and tell her she messed up big. I would probably let her decide about the abortion thing (its her body, after all) but if she decided to have it, i would make her give it up for adoption. and make her go to summer school for the days she missed. my daughter is finishing high school and going to college. i'm not going to let her end up with a bunch of ex boyfriends and working at mcdonalds.

Answer 11

i would just tell my mum we need to make an appointment at the abortion clinic

honestly she wouldnt make a big deal about it as long as i got it sorted out quick

tell her i want to keep a baby would be a totally other ball game ...
