First things first, MAKE SURE YOU ARE PREGNANT. Sounds dumb, but many girls think they are pregnant, but aren't. If it's two weeks after your missed period and if you haven't started your period, take one more test(one or two) and then tell your parents. I would start with the person who would understand the most. tell your parent how much you look up to them and thank them for always being there for them. tell them that you are pregnant. yeah, yeah, they will be mad, but they love you. and they should understand.

DrPsych agony auntThe first decision you have to make is whether you want to keep the baby or not, and I suggest you decide before telling your parents. However, do not delay in deciding on the pregnancy or telling your parents. You also need to tell the father of the baby whether he wants involvement or not. There will be the small matter of child support for the next 18 years if you are keeping the baby. It can be very frightening to find out you are pregnant so young, but you should see your GP as soon as possible. Your doctor can arrange a scan and book you for antenatal care, or an abortion. If you are keeping the baby, start taking folic acid tablets immediately - you can get these from a chemist. Your midwife can help you and put you in touch with other teenage mums in your area. If you are in full-time education then you need to let the school or college know about your pregnancy when you start back so that appropriate arrangements can be made.

You'll need all the support you can get, which ever decision you make regarding the baby's future. Telling your parents would be an honest place to start.

RAINORFIRE agony auntTell your parents you can't hide it for ever, you're young and their support may help you come to the best decision.

It's really not a big deal if your family sticks by you and you plan ahead more further ahead at least.

may i ask where is the father he should be supporting you as well, at least emotionaly, it takes two to make a baby so you shouldn't feel so alone i hope he hasn't abandoned you.

I hope you can have this baby and things work out for you.

Do you have a good relationship with either of your parents?

I have a daughter your age, and I would want her to tell me about it. I would NOT want her to be feeling frantic and alone. I might be disappointed, but I would still love her, and I would help her any way necessary.

If you get along well with your mother, tell her. If you get along better with your father, tell him. If there's another adult you can trust, tell them.
