You just need to sit down and talk to them. Maybe start out telling them that you're not perfect and you've made a few mistakes...This isn't saying your child is a mistake, cause no child is!! Some are just surprises! Smile but let them know you made the mistake of having unprotected sex, if that was the case, or if the condom broke or the bcp wasn't working, let them know you made the mistake of having sex at a young age. I'm sure that they'll understand!!

Think of the pros and cons of having this baby or giving it away. See which one weighs out the best. That might help more. Or just wait out the pregnancy till you have the baby and decide then. Cause maybe once you start feeling the baby move and see that little one on u/s you might change you mind and want to keep it. It might be a hard next few years for you, but there are 14 year olds that do do it. And i'm sure that your parents, if they're not too bad will help you out tons...But just know that you shouldn't throw this all on your parents, because you're old enough to have sex, you're old enough to deal with the after math. Smile

good luck to ya hun!! Smile private message me ifyou want to chat. Smile

is there anyone that can help you tell them? An aunt, a pastor or a family friend? You might find it easier if there's somebody else there. Have you talked to your doctor? They might help you tell them too. Usually, parents are supportive however mad they might be at first.

I'd suggest counselling to help you think about what you want to do. If you want to adopt, get in touch with an adoption agency (the sooner the better really). They'll be able to talk you over adoption laws in your state, and sort out what kind of adoption you want eg closed or open. Have you talked to the father about adoption? He needs to agree in order for you to adopt. If you need any more info on adoption pm me and i'll look it up for you.

Let us know how it goes, and good luck.

Wow hun ur kinda in a tough situation. But I think you just need to tell your parents you need to talk to them. Sit them down and be completely honest.. Tell them everything. No matter the consequences they'll help you out somehow. Then together decide what to do with this baby. See if your parents will help you financially, or if it would be better to give him/her up for adoption. Although your parents may be very mad at the moment.. Things will settle down and you guys will be able to talk about htis seriously...
Also.. Does the father of the baby know that ur pregnant?? How does he feel about it? I think if you are still with the father of the baby.. His input is also important because it is his responsibility as much as yours...
Good luck hun.. Keep us posted

Hey!!! I'm sorry things are so tough for you right now!!! I have a 15 year old cousin who is 17 weeks preggy... And now that her parents know, things are going fine for her. Do you have a boyfriend who is willing to stnad by your side? How far along are you? When I found out I was preggy, I had my aunt call my mom and tell her. I was scared of what she might think or say.... Even though I am 18. She took it very well actually, she is excited. Parents never take it the way you think they will. When I first started having sex, I wanted to tell my mom so that she could take me to the doc. So that I could get on the pill. I wrote her a letter and gave to it her and asked her to wait and read it untill I wasn't at home. I went to stay the night with a friend, and that's whenb she read it. She called the doctor and made me a appointment...She wasn't mad or anything. If I were you I would have a friend or family memeber tell ur parents or wirte them a letter. I think that once you are preggy for a while and everyting cools off...You will want to keep ur baby. That's totally up to you though sweetie!!! Good luck with everyting and let us know how everything goes!!!

I'm 14, too. I was preg @ 13 though, I just turned 13. You just need to tell them straight up, don't leave anything out. Your parents will most likely support you since your so young, so don't feel afraid! Goodluck!

I am 17 and 26 weeks pregnant. I come from a very strict up bringing. My parents are very straight point from a to b, and hate interuptions and myself getting pregnant at 17 was an interuption for them. I told a close family friend first and he helped me tell my parents. It was tough for the first few weeks, but after some serious conversations with them, they began to understand that not everything is as simple as black and white. And even though they did everything they could to protect me before, I need them now more than ever. It will not be the easiest thing you do in your life, more so probably the toughest, but they will admire you for your honesty with them up front, whether they tell you that or not.
