First off, I'm fifteen years old and pregnant. I just found out today. My boyfriend is sixteen years old and we have a pretty rocky relationship - but all is well for the most part.

My question is I don't know how to tell my family and especially my mom I'm pregnant. My mom is going to be so disappointed in me and I'm more scared of how she's going to deal with this then I am for myself. I know I can handle it but I'm not sure if she will be able too.

I know my three options: Abortion, Adoption, or keeping it. I know my mom will want me to get an abortion and she told me if I ever got pregnant then I would have to move away to live with my Grandma for the nine months because it will be too embarassing to for my family, but I need the support of my family and friends and boyfriend.

I'm so stressed out. I'm cramping and extremely tired. I need to kick all my fifthy habits to the curb.. but I need to start on how to tell my family and my boyfriends family first.

i wish i could tell you the best way to tell your family but in all honesty it doesnt matter what way u tell them they will be dissapointed.your younger than me so things could be quite difficult in your case when i found out i was pregnant i was 18 i was too scared to tell anyone so i wrote a machore letter to my mother and gave it to her best friend to give to her and with my dad my mums best friend told him too and i told my brother my mother wasnt best pleased i told her in a letter or that i told her best friend before her so dont do anything like that.im 20 now and am having a second child and again im at the stage where i have to tell them all over again this time i texted my brother and my father and im going to tell my mother over the fone as she lives abroad now.my brother is already unhappy and my dad hasnt contacted me but i felt a relieve when i got it out of the way.

i think the best thing for you too do is tell them one by one or maybe alltogether its up to u but id tell them face to face without ur bf there just incase they want to kill him be machore and just say "i really need the support from you right now and you r going to b angry and disappointed but i am pregnant with my first child and i want to stand up to my responsibilities" as soon as its out there probably gonna b like oh noooo why didnt u use contraception and wot about abortion and stuff like that and u mite get quite upset but remember its onli words dont let them hurt u.they mite not be happy now but when you have ur son or daughter theyl love it completely.

sorry for the essay good luck
