What should I say to my boyfriend and parents about being pregnant?

Okay so im 15. Made the biggest mistake of my life and ended up pregnant. (silly me for thinking the pill would be enough) yes. I know.. I’ve been stupid.. Im an idiot.. Nobody else does that. But no matter how many insults I get, there isnt a time machine and I would please only like positive advice.

Im a straight a student, wanting to go to university and have a really good life, so is my boyfriend, and so does he. Im so scared of how to tell him, because I know he will want me to have an abortion, and although I know im young and removing the baby would allow me to get on with my life, I feel its my problem and that abortion is like murder. I physically could not do it. I know as soon as I tell him it is going to put major stress on me and I know im going to get hassle. How do I tell him? How do I decide what to do? how do we come to a conclusion that we both agree with?

And lastly, how do I tell my parents? I know to tell them straight away, and the sooner the better. But I just dont understand how to say something like that. I’ve always been the golden a grade child. Im so confused right now.

Thankyou.. X

Answer #1

I understand your feelings on being the ‘golden A grade’ child (but im still waiting if the ultimately rebellious thing will happen to me). And its gonna be hard disappointing them :s

Anyways, because everything has already happened. Here are some things you need to think about:

  • Make sure that you are indeed pregnant. If you arent, there’s no need to stress about it and just take all the precautions if you are going to continue.

  • Talk with your boyfriend. The decision to abort or not is ultimately your decision though.

  • If abortion is out of the picture, you need to decide if you are going to raise him/her on your own or if you will go with adoption.

  • Talk to your parents. Prepare that they are going to be disappointed :s You’re going to need their help.

  • If you are going to raise the baby, you need to talk with your boyfriend and parents on how to take care of the bills while still staying in school (if you will still continue with school). :s

  • If you are going for adoption, you need to discuss with the adoptive parents who’s gonna pay for everything plus if you’ll be able to have a relationship with your child. Given your age, I would suggest this one as this will provide you more chances of resuming a life that has some sort of semblance as yours before. But given that you have already experienced this issue, I hope you’ll make wise decisions.

  • the best that could happen is that you’re gonna keep your baby, your parents will help you raise him/her (its their grandchild anyway), and you’re still gonna continue your education. However, please note that this could also not happen :s If this should happen though, I would suggest you also help in paying for bills and taking care of your kid as its the parents’ responsibility to do so no matter what age the parents are.

I hope everything still works out for you. good luck. there’s really no easier way to tell your boyfriend and your parents. :s

Good luck.

Answer #2

I am so sorry for your situation… First of all, it’s your and only YOUR decision as to whether or not to keep your baby… don’t let anyone try to talk you into anything you don’t want to do. You can go to talk to your school guidance counselor first and she/he can tell you how to approach your parents. My son became a dad at age 16 and the baby’s mom was 15. Myself and my family all pitched in to help. The baby’s mom had the baby with her in her dad’s house and would just leave the baby with him all day. So my son and I filed for custody and won. My son continued to go to school. Social services helped us get day care at a great cost because I work. My granddaughter is now age 7 and my son is 23. He recently moved in with his new girlfriend and his daughter is with him now. I’m sure your parents will understand and help you out. It’s very IMPORTANT that you stay in school. I don’t know if both your parents work or not, but they should be able to help you out. Your boyfriends parents should also be there for you. Also, do not let them talk you into getting married, you are just too young. I pray for you and your baby.. please let me know what you decide to do. Thanks, and good luck

Answer #3

You are a grade A student and so is your boyfriend? Wow your child could be very intelligent.

I think writing a letter to your parents would be the worst option if it were me! You would be in your room walking in circles going omg have they read it have they read it! lol! I think you should tell your boyfriend first, and the both of you should decide as a family what to do. thats what you are now, family. you have created a huan being that will link you both for the rest of your lives. You should tell all your parents together. That way there is less chance of anger as your boyfriend’s parents are in the room too and vice versa.

If you have the child, You can still go to university when you are older. Don’t think that you are throwing your life away. Yes, it will be a big setback, But I know a girl who had twins at 16 and she is now training to be something to do with bio chemistry or something. The children sometimes go to daycare, sometimes to her mum and dad, and sometimes to the father’s mum and dad, and sometimes to the father. Shes lucky, her family were really good about it.

Don’t think you have to get married or anything, you don’t. But it would be beneficial to keep the father around to help.

Best of luck :) xx

Answer #4

Talk to your boyfriend. Be honest. dont be afraid.

You’ll have to tell someones parents if you get an abortion. because your a minor.

*Abortion Is NOT murder. the baby/fetus cannot be aborted after 3 months because the baby can feel pain.

You need to do whats best for YOU. if you cannot find the will to have an abortion it does not mean your stupid. it means you are doing whats best for your mental health.

remember this; Your Body. Your Uterus. Your Mind.

your boyfriend and family? if they really love you they will be angry and might be hurt but I’m sure they really love you and want the best. The best for you is best for the baby.

do what you think is right…

on telling your parents:

if you cant tell them to they’re faces, write a letter. leave it on the dresser, in the mailbox. find a way your comfortable with and tell them.

the sooner you tell them the more support you’ll get.

  • victoria.

and please let me know how your doing with it! -victoriadawn.justice@ymail.com

Answer #5

Say proud and fearless, in what you are about to become “I am going to be a mother” to your boyfriend and your parents, the contraceptive pill is the work of wickedness to encourage the practice of intercourse without offspring, and it has been surpassed, the problem is maybe you should have chosen a better father

Answer #6

you should tell your parents before they find out them selves b/c that could be worse just be honest with them

Answer #7

just tell your parents they will understand if they want you to give it up for adoption say that will hurt you to much and try to convince them like with abortion with your boy friend try to convince him that that will upset you and just try to like it if he walks out just let him he has to help it’s his baby

Answer #8

to your boyfrien say… the last time we had sex.. it was unprteced and I took a test and im pregnant…* its simple for the boy but your parents is the hard part…im 17 and have a 2 year old bby girl so I no how you feel and yes it was a mistake but I would never take her back or give her away… if you think you are too young or immiture or just simply still want your life normal ABORTION is not a option I hope.. look for a good family and put your bby up for adoption if thats te case but if not convince your mom that you will take care of it and wil put it first I mean its your parents houe so its tech. up to them but just tell them you need to talk.. then say mom dad I really messed up and I no I mad the worst mistake but im pregnant… then I think theyll take it from thare…

hope this helps

Answer #9

I would straight up say to my parents “I messed up, & I need a lot of help!” See what they say. & I guess explain to them what happened. I would prefer to tell my mom first so your not that comfortable in front of your dad. but yeah I would tell your mom first and then ask her how to tell your boyfriend. I give you the best of luck & I hope everything works out
