Alice replied: I'm not sure, but I sincerely hope that right after you tell your boyfriend, you'll tell your parents.

This isn't the end of the world, although it may seem like it right now. Tell your boyfriend, tell your parents, take a deep breath, and you'll all figure out what to do next.

I'll be thinking of you.

A&A'smommy replied: I was 17 (just turned 17) when I got pregnant the best thing to do is let him know how scared you are, and then tell him. And please tell your parents no matter what they NEED to know! I know how scary it can be take it easy and I hope the best for you and your baby!

~Roo'sMama~ replied: I'm not sure how you should tell him and your parents ~ the others had good advice for you. I would just say the sooner the better! I hope it goes well and everything works out for you. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers!!!

aspenblue1 replied: I would definately tell both him and your parents soon. Good luck!

loveydad replied: You're not alone. My son's has two kids and he's only 17. He was 16 when the first was born and 17 when the second was born. I believe his girlfreind just said "I'm pregnant. Do something." I don't reccomend that. But I can offer support.

MomToMany replied: I had my first at 16. I was so freakin' scared. My mom just got done marrying off my older sister who was pregnant at age 18. I didn't actually tell her; I left a note on the kitchen table saying my period was late and I thought I might be pregnant. Needless to say, she was not happy. The first thing she said to me was "Abortion is out of the question". I couldn't bring myself to say the words. She got a pregnancy test the next day. It was one of those that made you wait for an hour to get the results. Sure enough, it was positive. I don't remember telling my boyfriend, so I don't know how he found out.

Anyway, my mom didn't want me living at her house since I was such a disgrace. I had no driver's license, no job, no money. So, my mom thought it was best that we get married. We did, both of us 16, still in high school, and we were married with a kid on the way. Boy, there was lots of gossip and crap going around about us. Our first was born July 17th. We stayed in school, and and he worked full-time after school in a factory. I was a straight A student, on the honor roll, and a member of the National Honor Society. Our second son was born 4 days before graduating high school, so I was also pregnant my Senior year. We had another son 4 years later.

We are divorced now, and I'm remarried to a wonderful man who I have 2 daughters (and maybe more in the future) with. While I would've waited a hek of a lot longer to have a child if I could do it all over again, I don't regret having my children. They are not "mistakes" or "oops" children. I just made some bad choices, and had to deal with the consequences. It was very hard, but I must say that everyone, teachers included, were very proud that I stayed in school and graduated. I must admit I am too.

I've been where you are now. It will be hard. You both will have to make some big decisions that will affect the rest of your life. Please think everything through before making any decisions. I wish you the best. Feel free to Private Message me if you want to talk.

Mommy2BAK replied: I know this seems like such a big deal now, but once you tell your parents and your boyfriend you might get the support you need! Because you will need to see a doctor soon. I was 19 when I found out I was pregnant and I had to tell my boyfriend and then I told my mom, I was so relieved afterwards because they were really supportive. Trust me... these things happen, it could happen to ANYONE!!!! It will all be alright! Let us know how it goes!!!

Stacimonkey replied: Just wanted to send ya ((((BIG HUGS)))) and let you know we're thinking about you!! Good luck

smullin replied: I am friends with a lot of girls who this happened it. I can't say I went through this but I know that is hard by how hard it was on my girlfriends. Remember to listen to everyone when they say tell your mom and dad or at least one of them and they can break the news to the other parent. I would tell your boyfriend. Now rememeber sometimes men at any age act funny when they first hear things so give him time if he acts funny because this is will be a complete shocker to him as much as you. I would sit him down and tell him you are scared and it is hard to tell him what you are going to tell him because you are afraid of what will happen. Then his mind will be partically ready for what you have to say. Let us know how it goes and remember we all here for you.

My2Beauties replied: Wow you are in a tough situation but you need to tell him soon. I hope that he is mature enough to offer you the support and love that you need at this time and does what he needs to do to help you during your pregnancy and steps up to be a daddy! Keep us posted hon, we want to know how it turns out. I think sitting him down and telling him that you are just as scared as he is but the two of you can get through it. Hopefully everything works out.

Mommy2BAK replied: Does anyone know what ever happened to all of this? JW

loveydad replied: I think it was a ploy for attention.

*shruggin* i have no idea.
