Tell your mum asap because if she hears it from someone else she will be more dissappointed about that than you being pregnant. Its not the end of the world and you are not the first or the last young couple to go through this however, be prepared for your parents to be annoyed but this will subside and they will no doubt help you out. Chances are your mum may even suspect already. If you have a sibling get them on your side and go to your mum together. Good luck

i got pregnant when i was 15 different story for me his parents didn't no he didn't want to no anything bout my son whose now 6, but the easiest way i found of telling my parents was to write a note, i think its easier to get things out in the open rather than talking face to face, your parents maybe disappointed in you at first but as time goes by things will change trust me on this 1 hope it helps you out

 It's not illegal to get pregnant, it's illegal to have sex with someone before they are old enough to consent to sex.

Obviously it won't.chigirl's advice in this regard is really spot on. Please take it.Your parents love you and if, as you imply, you can talk to your mum now that would be a huge step in the right direction. You've just got to go for it. Try and do it this week.And as for your dad ... he'll much prefer that you made the right choice when you had a choice than leaving it and then having no choice (you can't abort after 24 weeks and the later you leave it the more involved the procedure if that's a route you decide to take).You've had to grow up very quickly so take something positive from this too in warning your friends and being careful in the future.

Have you seen your doctor to confirm the pregnancy and get a check up? You should do this first. You should also explain the situation to your doctor, or school nurse, and ask for advice on how to tell your parents. Maybe you can tell them together with your doctor or the school nurse.
Your parents will have many questions to ask, and that is why it would be good if you aren't alone, but together with someone who could help explain the situation to them. If you talk to your doctor first you can get advice on what to do next, if you plan to continue the pregnancy or have an abortion, and the doctor can explain the pro's and con's for you so you can make up your mind.
It will be easier to tell your parents once you have thought of the options and consulted with a doctor beforehand.

Well tell your mom, since you're not as afraid to tell her, then both of you can tell your dad.
How I would approach this is go up to your mom and tell her you need to have a serious chat. Sit down with her somewhere private and just tell her. It will be difficult, but you have to do it. Then you can either tell your dad, or discuss what you want to do next
