15 and pregnant. how do I tell my parents?

Question

Both of my parents know it nota virgin anymore, but they don't know that I'm still having sex now. I'm on bc and we used a condom so Idk what happened! When my parents found out I lost my virginity, they cut off all my connections with the boy I lost it to, and we literally moved cities, and I haven't seen him since. It's been over two years, and now I have an amazingly supportive and wonderful boyfriend of over a year, and I found out I'm pregnant. He told me he is 100% for what ever I want to do, but I'm so so scared, bc no matter what I chose, my parents will find out. Which here's the problem, if I get an abortion, my parents will do the same thing they did to my old boyfriend (the one I lost my virginity to) and I'll never see my boyfriend again, which is the last thing I want to happen! If I keep it, they'll let him stay around to raise his kid, they're mean, but not monsters. So Idk what to do, any advice!!?

Answer

Tell them the truth. That baby shouldn't have to pay with his life for a poor choice you made. It won't be easy but i'm sure your parents will come around eventually. They love you unconditionally, & they'll always be there to love & forgive you no matter what. Its best to just come clean about the situation. I mean you have to eventually any way right? Lol but I hope you decide to keep your baby. Best wishes!

Answer

I'll probably catch a lot of crap for this, but...you knew what your parents did to your last relationship for having sex, so if you cared so much about this guy why did you risk that again? 
You made an adult decision to have sex, and now you have to make the adult decisions to tell your parents and decide the future of your pregnancy. Whatever your decision, do it for the RIGHT reason and not just because you don't want to have to break up with your boyfriend.

Answer

I don't get all the bashing about having sex at 15, you were on birth control and was having protected sex. You should decide what's the best for your baby and also, what your boyfriend/baby's father wants because you're not the only one who contributed to sex. That is his child also. Personally, I'm pregnant & a teen mother also. I thought my parents would kill me and make me get an abortion. The exact opposite happened. They told me it was up to me what my decision was but they would like for me to have my baby and take responsibility, I'm doing that. They'll definitely be mad at first but they'll come around and be supportive. I hope everything turns out okay!! I also hope that you're going to do what's best for you. Good luck

Answer

You can't have a baby just so you can stay with your boyfriend. There's got to be another solution than that. Either way you need to tell your parents so sit down and have a big talk. You may find that since you are now older that they don't freak out as much (they'll still freak out). Tell them how you feel pressured to have the baby so they don't stop you seeing your boyfriend. Good luck

Answer

Think about the perspective of the child. Not whether you want to be with this guy.. view it as "am o able to raise this kid? Am I strong enough to do this right now? Can I financially support a child?" Those kinds of things. I understand you want to stay with your boyfriend but don't make your decision based on that make it based on what is important for you.

Answer

Sorry, just because you made a mistake at 15 doesn't mean that you should have to carry the baby to term. You're young. Are you mentally, physically, and financially ready to raise a kid? Going through the tough decision of abortion or adoption is consequence enough. Do not punish yourself. You have other options.

Answer

I don't know your parents. But like you said, they're mean, not monsters. So is there anyway you could maybe sit them down along with your boyfriend, and maybe his parents and tell them everything? It's much better to come clean to their face in a respectful way rather than trying to sneak around. Maybe (I hope) his parents are understanding and maybe they'll talk your parents into letting you two stay together. DO NOT feel like you have to keep that baby bc it's the only way you'll see him. That's just a disaster waiting to happen!

Answer

Keep your baby ! Only if you want to I'm personally against abortion, you opened your legs and made that decision so you now have to deal with the consiquences ! There's people out there that can't have kids try adoption !

Answer

This is a big deal and you should tell your parents.
Know your options. Ask your doctor, go online and check support groups for teen pregnancy.

Answer

Very sorry to hear that you are in this predicament at such a young age. My dear, your life is just beginning. You are at an age where you are beginning to discover yourself and build the foundation for your adult life. In other words, you still have a lot of growing up to do and things to experience. Once a child comes, your life is no longer about you. That is something you will have to sacrifice. Boys come and go but your life is permanent and so are your decisions. Always do what is best for you because at the end of the day this is your life to live and no one else's.
