Q: How Do I Tell My Parents???

Hi everyone, I have a problem and I need some advice. I'm 18, 19 in nov, I think I am pregnant as I have missed a period and I am going to take a test as soon as I get home from work. The thing is if I am pregnant how can I tell my parents? I think that my mum will not be as bad as I think but my dad will totally kill me and I mean it he is strict, well I mean that he wants me to do good for myself and get my own house and car and stuff and he will be so upset if I tell him im pregnant. I have been with my boyfriend for a year and its too soon for me to have a baby. It scares me so much sometimes I lay in bed thinking about how I would tell my parents my mum always says if I was pregnant my dad would kill my boyfriend. I am also scared to tell my bf as he has no job and plus we stay about an hour away from each other and he doesn't drive so we hardly see each other he will go mad what can I do??? Please help!!!!!

I went through the same thing. Except I had just turned 17 and my bf was 21. I was just going to get an abortion (even though I really hate that) but I felt that I couldnt tell my parents. As like you my parents always told me they would kill my bf and my dad always said hed go to jail (my dad) so I realyl didnt want to tell them. Eventually I came to the conclusion abortion was out of the question. I told my moms best friend first. She told my mom with us.. I figured it would make things better. Which it might have. My mom wasnt as pissed as I thought she would be. She was just really disappointed in me and my boyfriend. My dad on the other hand didnt care. He was like oh well you have to deal with it now and he took it rather good ( now I dont mean your dad might take it the same) I mean my dad has always been the biggest jerk and he used to beat us and stuff so I htought it was going to be totally different. Well sorry if I was no help. But htere is hope. Good luck

First calm down and don't freak until you know for sure. I thought my mom would be so disappointed when I told her I was pregnant, considering the father and I aren't in any kind of relantionship, but she is actually really excited about it. The person I feared most telling (besides the father who actually took it fairly well) was my grandmother. I thought shed totally flip cause she was always warning me never to get pregnant so young (i'm 20 by the way). But when I told her she just kinda shrugged and said it was my life. I wouldn't say shes excited about it but shes accepted it and hopefully by the time I have my baby she'll be excited about being a great-grandma. Just relax and try not to worry about it until you know for sure and then if you have to tell them that you are maybe tell your mom first so she can support you while you tell your dad. Good luck.
