I know how you feel i may not be in the exact sitaution as you but you really need to tell them both weather you are or not, trust me this will probally be on of the most scariest things you will ever do but once its over you will feel much better about yourself, i know this sounds quacky but being open with your parents or atleast one of them is a very good thing and eliminates alot of problems down the road, but hunn you should probally tell them both asap because if you are it is very important to see a doctor asap. The easiest way to tell them is to sit them down and just explain that it wasnt there fault and all kids make mistakes but you would really appreciate there help and support. They will probally be more shocked and worried than mad but if i were you i would tell the bf first but do it ASAP

no matter which way you do it its always going to be difficult. and anyway you release your eggs midway through you cycle like on day 14 to 17 but i might be wrong the best way is to take a test if its positive tell your boyfriend first so he can be there to support you when you tell you parents if you dont want your parents to tell you to get rid of it talk to someone in one of the numerous charites that are about discuss with them then tell yu parents

Well, firstly, don't panic yourself until anything is concrete. You don't know if you actually are pregnant.

I suggest take a test, then you can sort out what it is you need to do. Yes it's scary, but can you imagine telling your parents and boyfriend when your already months gone?

Once you know, if it's negative, you can move on. Hopefully it should make you more aware of using safe sex. If not, then you need to tell your parents first. Let them be angry, as it will be a shock and hurt them to think that you have been careless. Try to explain that you're apologetic and sincerely mean it. After all, you're going to need their support. Then tell your boyfriend, if he stands by you then lucky you, you've got a good one. If not, he really isn;t worth it and you will need help and everyone around you to support you.

Try finding a counsellor or someone to talk to, it will help (if you are pregnant)

good luck, hope this helps

They will get angry at first but after the initial scoldings they should calm down. They may ask you some questions and answer them all TRUTHFULLY.

Once they know that you are scared and regret what you did they will be even more convinced to help you.

Bottom Line: They are your parents. They are the only ones who can help you. And if you aren't pregnant then be smarter next time and use protection or don't have sex at all because it is illegal at this age.

And like Fade878 said, tell ur bf after you told ur parents. Tell him any relevant words that your parents told ya
