You need to tell your parents. They will be mad at first but they might come around. They are the ones who can help and advise you the best. They know you and your specific situation. Im sorry to tell you this, but at 15 your guy is not likely going to be there for you through this. I know at 21 mine wasnt ready and 15 there is so much life for him and youve only been together 10 weeks! you are 15 and had sex with someone you hadnt even been with for 3 months and got pregnant. How do either of you know youll want to be together forever. Id say dont worry about you or that guy, worry about that child. tell your parents and get to a doctor. If you plan on keeping this baby you need to go see a doctor and make sure you and that baby are healthy. Your parents love you and are their to protect and guide you. When you tell them tell them that you understand they are angry but you came to them because you really need their support at this time to figure out what you are going to do. No matter what happens you must strive to do what is best for that baby, that is your major responsibility now. And if you are in gym make sure you tell your teacher so you dont accidently hurt the baby. Good luck--- Kyra

Are you sure this is what you want for your life? To be a single mother at age 15 with no parents?

AO.. that is worst case scenario and you know it. Many partents get upset and shocked but they get over it and help their child with their grandchild. To put it the way you said is not only negative it is not the only outcome of this situation. Sure she might be a single mother at 15 and that is tough and not fun but at the same time it is not sign her parents will forsake her. Most girls are afraid they will get kicked out when they tell there parents and most dont. Good parents are their to help their children in the tough times.

I was 15 when i got pregnant i though my parents would kick me out to, but they didnt. so just talk to them, and yeah its going to be hard but i did it. but i also raised a 15 month and a 2 month old at the same time for my friend so i knew what it was like to stay up all night and not be able to do anything so i was alright with it all. but really dont expect the dad to stay no matter how many times he says he is ready and says he will stay they usually dont. sorry to tell you.
