How do I tell my overprotective mom that I’m not a virgin?
IMPORTANT UPDATE: My boyfriend and I went out for the day and got the test. I just took it and it’s negative.
Im 16 years old and sleeping with this guy I’ve been dating for a little while. She just met him but the only person who knows about it is my grandmother. We use protection..except for this one time and now I’m a month late but that’s a whole other story.. basically I’m asking for help on how to tell her. She met him and he is really a sweetheart. He took her to work on Friday when he first met her when we went out on our breakfast date and then later in the day after getting back from his college took my grandmother to run errands. I do try to talk to my mom but she’s been through a lot and gets ticked off easily. Her fuse is short and she yells and screams and I’ve gotten tired of not being able to have a conversation with her even with little personal things I’d love to share with her. Thanks.
EDIT: Im late and took a test but it was negative. It might be hormones because I am on birth control. I’ve been on the pill since summer ‘17 and have been late before. If I don’t get it by next month him and I are going to see my gyno.
EXTRA EDIT: Everything is consensual in my state I promise. I wouldn’t do anything to hurt him or myself. My grandmother did ask me if I was pregnant because I was nauseous and throwing up last week every night. I told her I’m late but not pregnant it’s probably just my period. I was spotting for 2 days and that was it. If I’m pregnant I’m getting an abortion and that’s final. He is supporting me with that and respects it. Please don’t try to get me to keep it because as a female I have a choice. That’s my choice.
At 16 I have reached the age of consent and can get married with parent/guardian permission. I spoke to a lawyer in my county. I live in PA.
HOPEFULLY THE LAST EDIT: I just felt like I should be able to talk to my mom like other girls can if that makes me crazy so be it. I love her and I’m trying to keep an open honest relationship. My whole family especially mom has had many sex talks and im extremely hip on guys and not getting played lol. Also I’m respectfully asking not to be bashed for a mistake I made and choosing to deal with it. I am pro choice and respect what anyone chooses to do. I’m not immature and yes I am a child who’s not ready to be a mother nor gonna let my boyfriend go through something like that with me. He told me if I was pregnant and wanted to keep it we’ll get married and he’ll take care of the baby. He won’t be a deadbeat. I love him for that but I’m not ready and know he isn’t either. I take another test in a few days but again I may not be pregnant. Anyways thank you to those who gave me advice I appreciate it.
