I'm fifteen years old, and i come from an extremely mormon family. I've had sex with my boyfriend for the past few weeks, and we've been unprotected, although he did pull out.

i think i am pregnant. how do i tell my parents?

well of course you can get pregnant cause you had unprotected sex.. but you might not be pregnant because you said he had pulled out right?? even though that method does not really work... when is your period due??? did you even miss a period?? stuff like that you have to ask your self because when i found i was pregnant i was 15 i was shock cause i was so young and i was thinking my 16 birthday is coming up in like 3 weeks or so... but just take the test and found out

Well don't jump to conclusions. If there really aren't any signs you shouldn't say anything. You're parents will possibly lose respect in you. March yourself to a store and buy a pregnancy test within the next week, it should give you the right results by now. IF you're pregnant then we can discuss how to tell your 'rents.

Hi, I'm sixteen, and Mormon, but I'm not pregnant. I don't even have a boyfriend. However, just last night a young man in my stake was married to his girlfriend (she was pregnant). His family is very active in the church, as is he. Now, I don't know your family, but most LDS parents that I've talked to have said that if their child came to them telling them that they were pregnant, or their girlfriend was pregnant, they'd help them and encourage them to seek help through their bishop. But they wouldn't get angry. They say there's no reason for that. What's done is done, and there's nothing you can do about that.

I don't know your parents, and I don't know how active you are in the Church. But I'd tell your parents. And I would seek the Bishop's help if you're comfortable with that. He'll keep everything in confidence.
