I am so sorry that you are both experiencing this. I know that things will be tough in the long run. I think you shoul have the babies and consider putting it up for adoption. There are so many willing families that would graciously accept your child into their home. You would be making such a mature decision. Please talk to someone that can give you good advice.

A male reader, anonymous, writes (30 January 2008):

I'm reading this, not to give advice but to ask you how you dealt with it, if you have inf act, dealt with it yet.

You see, im in a similiar situation. Me and my GF

(both 16) had sex, (protected) but it broke. We didnt think much off it due to all the info you hear about the product inside the comdom killing sperm and all...

However, my GF has been throwing up in the mornings for a week, started bleeding a week earlier (due to lining on the egg breaking away) and only bleeding a small amount, allmost confiming this fact. This would only be 1 month pregnant if she is btw.

I dont know what to do, my parents would never expect it.. although i beieve i could face up to them..

Any advice would be nice....

By the way, i wish you the best of luck. Happy lives to all

All I can say is Good luck! Tell your parents, though. You can't hide it, and it's better to have them find out with you being open, then not. If I were you, and I'm not very old to be offering this kind of advice, but I'd ask one of your parents to take on the child. If they won't, then put him/her up for adoption? I don't know what to tell you. you have my sympathy, and I wish you the best of luck.

Ok first of all... What were you two thinking??? Only an idiot would have sex at 14, especially unprotected. How old is your gf? I'm 14 and my bf is 16 and we would never do that, especially unprotected. I must say that the only thing that both of you can do is to tell both of your parents no matter how hard it is. They're gonna find out sooner or later anyway.

You'd be smart to tell your parents ASAP. It's not like you can keep it a secret anyway.

Hopefully, you and your girlfriend will make the right decision which would be to let the child be adopted by some loving family. Then stop having intercourse for awhile and concentrate on your studies, sports, hanging out with friends. Have some fun as a teen cuz you only get ONE CHANCE at it and then it is ALL OVER.

A female reader, anonymous, writes (23 December 2007):

Ok i know that this is probably a waste of words but what were you thinking having unprotected sex at 14 yrs old? You and your girlfriend thought that you were adult enough to handle everything that comes with having sex, that also means that you have to be adult enough to tell your parents that you have made a mistake and now your girlfriend is pregnant. I will commend both of you on the fact that she was mature enough to get to a doctor. Most kids your age would not think that far ahead. Are you and your girlfriend ready to take on the responsibility of raising a child i am 21 and married and our first child is 10 mths old now and it was very hard a scary for us and we were ready to handle everything emotionally and physically. your girlfriend is still growing and that is going to make deliving the baby harder on her body. Not maention once the baby comes home dont plan on getting any sleep for a while. Your parents may surprise you. i wish you and your girlfriend the best luck with the baby.

theres no point in people tellin you that you were too young to have sex you have done ot and theres no turnin back and yes you both probably thought that it would not happen to you but it has and now you both have to deal with it but really you will have to tell them at one point and i am sure if you have both decided that you do or dont want to go through with the pregnancy your parents will be alot more supportive than you think .you will both feel so much better once you have told them i know its difficult but honestly you will feel so much better and i am sure her parents would feel heart broken if they thought there daughter was going through this alone and felt she could not turn to them for support. they will be shocked at first but they will come round . its so sad that you have had to learn the hard way but it does happen so many times good luck to you both

A female reader, anonymous, writes (21 December 2007):

I was young when I got pregnant. The biggest fear I had was telling my parents but it had to be done.

There's no point in keep putting it off. The sooner the better. It will give them more time to get used to the idea of becoming grandparents themselves.

I was not brave enough to tell them myself so i wrote a letter,took my mobile and went out.

this way it gives them time to think. I thought I would get a call on my mobile with them shouting at me.

But I was completly wrong and their reaction suprised me.This is just one way of telling your parents if you really can't do it face to face. I know its the cowardly way but at least it will be out in the open.

Then you won't feel like, your on your own in this situation, and you both can get the help and support your going to need.

i wish you both luck!!!

Hi there;

Your gonna have to tell both your parents. Your g/f is gonna start showing shortly and won't be able to hide the bump from them or anyone.

Yeah they will be disappointed and probably a little bit mad at first but they will only be looking out for the health of both baby and your g/f at the end of the day.

Both you and your g/f should sit down and talk thro how and what you are gonna say to them first. Don't just rush straight in and land this on them. Be grown up about it and take responsibility for this.

Best of luck with everything

A female reader, brooke5426 United Kingdom +, writes (21 December 2007):

brooke5426 agony auntok you have to think like an adult now. you have this baby on the way - whether you tell your parents now or not, that wont change. they are going to find out at some point and the sooner you tell them the better. You're not avoiding telling them you are just delaying it.

They will be disappointed and shocked but they will help you. They'll understand that ok it is not what anyone planned or would have chosen but its happened and now it has to be dealt with. You cant do it on your own and they are much more likely to handle it well if they see that you are being mature and going to them early on. Thats a lot better than one day saying "oh yeah mum i meant to tell you, my girlfriend is 8 months pregnant".

Burying your head in the sand wont make the situation go away it will only make it worse. So take a deep breath, be strong and tell them. Write it in a note if you find that easier. everything happens for a reason and it will all work out. if you do it today, this time next week the shock will be over and they will be helping you deal with it as best you can.

good luck

A female reader, howcomehoney France +, writes (21 December 2007):

howcomehoney agony auntYou have to tell your parents. Do you really think that six months from now when she gives birth that they're not going to notice anything? That is, if you intend on keeping it (and if she's getting regular check-ups, it sounds like you do). You have to think seriously about what this means for you and you have to decide what you're going to do about the baby. Where are you going to bring it up? Who is going to pay for all of this?

Tell them. Yes, they're going to be very angry. They're going to freak out. And then they're going to deal with it, because they have to.

A male reader, rcn United States +, writes (21 December 2007):

rcn agony auntThis is up to you. You're kind of young to play the "I'm pregnant, pass the potatoes" way.

Do you think it would be better to tell them together or have each of you tell your own parents. Have you discussed what you're planning on doing when the baby is born? Parents seem to like it if you have a realistic plan in place for what you both plan on doing.

All though your parents will be upset. Being a parent myself, I don't get mad at my children, I do get upset with a choice or an action that caused the issue. If you need more tips. I recommend speaking to the doctor, or to a counselor who deals with teen pregnancy. they can help you to design the plan on how to tell them.

A female reader, xapathyxrebornx United Kingdom +, writes (21 December 2007):

xapathyxrebornx agony auntFirst of all (please I'm not trying to get at you, you and your gf are way to young to be even having sex and even then you're proving it by not using protection -i'm not trying to get at you, its just be prepared for that. Both of your parents are going to say the same thing.

I suggest you two both sit down, with both your parents and hers and tell them the situation.

Expect them to be mad, shout and all call you many things under the sun.

Once they begin to calm, tell them something along the lines off "we know we were being stupid..." (make them know you both have accepted your responabilities) "....but bawling and shouting isn't going to help the situation. Sophie has a baby going inside of her and we're telling you because we would appreciate your support and the fact you if you want can help support your grandchild"

Like i said let them know you are BOTH being mature about the situation don't raise your voice no matter how out of hand it gets, now is the perfect time to show you are finally acting mature and adult about the situation.

tell me how it goes hun and I wish you the best of luck

message me if you need more help or advice.
