Hey whats up im 16 and i just found out im pregnant and i dont know how to tell the ones i love?
Answer:
Don't let your friend do it- that is really impersonal. Besides, if your going to be a mom you need to show others your MATURITY and that won't come through making someone else break the "bad" news. My best friend, who now has a son, got pregnant when she was 16, and although she decided to have an abortion at the time, her mom was really important to have around for support and help in the decision-making process. With something like this you often envision the worst-case scenario in your mind, but in actuality your mom LOVES you and once she gets over the initial shock will probably just help you a lot. There's no easy way to tell her, or perfect formular of what to say. I'd just advise you do it soon, because the more you wait, the more risk of her getting angry you didn't tell her sooner! I'm not sure what your plans are (keeping it, adoption, or termination) but I'm sure your mom will offer you some AWESOME advice your boyfriend and friend just can't because of lack of life experience. Tell your mom in a comfortable place, such as your home. Don't tell her during a meal, or when she's in the middle of watching her favorite program, or stressed out about life/work. Tell her where no one else is around except maybe your boyfriend. Apologize if you feel poor choices brought you here, and assure her that this isn't her fault or a reflection of her mothering. Just be as calm, composed, and confident as you can be when you tell her, and if it feels right- give her a big hug and cry in her arms! I bet you've been so scared and nerve-wracked the past week, and nothing will be a better relief than being in your mom's arms and having the "secret" off your mind.
Best of luck to you and your family.
Start by saying, "Mom, I've been really stupid..", then just spill it.
wait for the optimum time when she doesnt look stressed or mad just sit down with her one day and tell her what happened she is your mother and she should understand if you want take someone with you for support like your friend who offered to tell her but you have to tell her dont get your friend to becaus that will hurt your mother. your family surely would love you just be honest with her she should understand. goodluck with everything i hope it all works out and congratulations on the baby
First of all make sure that you have a blood test to confirm. Don't trust home tests. Then work out what you have planned for the future now. Are you and bf sticking together to raise this baby? how you will support yourselves? Are you thinking adoption? Plan your future out with what you see happening and then approach your mum. Try and get your bf there for support and to show your mum that he's sticking around. Be honest with her and don't get too emotional. Speak calmly and rationally. Act like a grown up and she will treat you like one. If your friend does it on your behalf then it will seem to your mum that you aren't even ready for adult conversation let alone a child. If your bf isn't in the picture then try to get someone with you for support. ie your friend or even a counsellor or your doctor.
Good luck sweetpea and remember that it is your life and don't let anyone pressure you into anything. Don't be afraid to let people help you tho.
Go to your mom and tell her you need to talk. Ask her not to get mad at you that this is really hard for you to say... then tell her. Be prepared for her to "freak out". I'm not sure how your mom will react but I work with a lady who had the say thing happen when her daughter was 16 years old. She was very mad and the step dad was too. But the lady came around and put her anger to the side to help her daughter. Hopefully yours will react better but it is truly better for them to find out from you and no one else. If you want your boyfriend by your side have him there too. At this point you need to talk to them and see a doctor. Best of Luck and remember you are carrying a life. You're going to face a very hard path and you need your parents.
You are 16, you know you can not hide being pregnant for long. Please tell her. She Willl yell at you, be mad at you. Then she wil clam down, and help you. Your mom loves you no matter what. Always remember this. Talk to your mom about all three of your choices. I could never had abortion.
If you keep the child, stay in school please
Good luck
You need to be the one to tell your mum, to show that you are able to take responsibility for your own actions. It's hard to do (I've been there and I was 3 months pregnant before I told my mum) but you won't be able to hide it forever, and the sooner you tell her the sooner you can get her support.
If your parents have an okay relationship with your boyfriend he should be there with you too.
Explain that you didn't mean for it to happen, and that you hope that they can understand. If sure, even if they get upset, they will come around. Having a baby young isn't the end of the world.
Good luck to you and your family.
Don't let your friend tell her. She can be there with you though, but the words should come from your mouth. Talk to her when she's not in the middle of something distracting, start off with something like "Mom, I need your help. You're the only one I can talk to." She'll know it's something serious and begin to mentally prepare herself.
