Hi everyone I am 16 years old and I think
I might be 1 month pregnant. The thing is
I am not sure how to tell my parents and
the only way that I can get a test done is
with them knowing. I really need help and
I am so scared. Also my bf that I was
dating and father of the baby doesnt know
yet and we are no longer together because
he has a temper problem if you could help
I would really be happy. Thanks.
Well sweetie, your going to have to tell
one of your parents, at least for now.
They are the best support system you will
have! Well most likely since I know there
are a few cases I can't guarentee!
Anyway, let your parents know and get a
test done, either a hpt or by a doctor. A
blood test is the most accurate this early
on! Good luck and until you find out
treat your body as you would if you are
pregnant. Eat right, exercise moderately,
avoid caffeine, smoking, drinking, drugs,
etc.
Good luck and best wishes

U dont know how to tell ur parents, no one
does! But u know that u have to do it. U
simply cant hide forever, eventually they
will find out and they will be more upset
then than if u told them now.
So I think the best way to tell them is to
be honest, tell them what u really think,
what really happened, and what u really
want to do. If they seem upset, that's
just becoz of the shock, but tell them how
much it means to you if they try to
understand and not be judgemental.
Remember to be calm when u do talk to
them. And good luck

Some Advice Posted: 09-11-03 13:19pm
Well, hello young buck, I am 18 years old
and I have a 2-month old baby girl. Well
when I thought I was pregnant, I was too
scared to say anything. So I kept quiet,
I was 17 years old when I got pregnant. I
told my uncle that I had a doctor's appt.
So he took me there. They had me to pee
in a cup then they called me to the back.
My doctor told me that the test was
positive. I was so scared to tell my mom,
but since I knew how my mother was, I went
on and told her the same day. I went to
her job, showed her the paper they gave
me, and went back to school. She was mad
at first then she was alright with it.
Your parents can't be mad at you forever.
I was already 2 months pregnant. So just
tell them, they will be alright. I was
not with her father at the time, but we
are together now. Belive me, you'll make
it.

Tell the one that your closer to. They
will be mad and upset but they will still
love you. I was 15 when I first got
pregnant. I was hard but you need them
there for you. Good luck...

Your parents don't have to know about you
gettin a test done. You can go to the
social worker at your school and tell him
or her (most likely a her) whats going on
and she will ask you if you want to keep
the information confidential and if you
say yes then it will stay confidential and
she can help u set up an appointment to
get tested and she will allow you to tell
your parents whenever you feel its
appropriate.
