Well if it is the case, before you tell your parents, you need to make sure you are sure of what to say. Not only the whole "hey mom and dad...Im pregnant" thing, but prepare yourself with answers that you are sure of. If they ask if you are going to keep it or not or anything like that. Always ready yourself for different senerios. I know that was pretty vague, but it's the best advice I can give. You sound as if you are nervous, but capable no matter what the outcome is. Good luck!
I hope that helped,

I'm 26 yr old male and my brother passed away a few years ago, leaving his son who is now 12. I'm am still very close to my nephew. I talk to him on the phone alot, email with him, etc. His mom is a terrible mom, who happens to have 2 other kids from 2 other men and wastes the social security money from my brother on cigarettes, alcohol, and frivilous items. She pays no attention to the boy and he stays with his grandma most nights because she doesnt wake him up in time for him to go go school. I'm afraid my nephew might soon turn to drugs, alcohol, etc. I've also noticed quite a lack of self esteem. I know that he has had 'girlfriends' but have yet to see them or meet them. His friends seem to be good, but I believe Im too old to be able to judge 12-13 year olds. He needs a man in his life and everytime Im in the area he always stays with me (I live 2 hours away). I plan to move back into the area soon and feel that he may want to live with me. Heres the questions:
1. How can I help to make sure he stays on the right path until I get there? I've already had the sex, drinking, pot, and cigarette talks with him.
2. How could I approach to his mother the possibility of him living with me, which I want to happen for his sake.
3. If he were to move in with me, would it be wrong to ask for the social security that HE should be getting for my brother's death so I can start a fund for him for college, car, etc.? (link)

Well first, I can tell you that whatever you decide to do will more than likely succeed. You have determination and love for the boy. For the first question, there is nothing you can do to completly keep him away from the downfalls of this world. I know that isn't the first thing you wanted to hear, but it needs to be brought to attention. But you can continue to push on him your views on said subjects. You can talk to him, mentor him, and even put him in a plastic bubble, but the greatest way for him to realize it is to set an example. Remember, if he does end up trying any of those things, it's not necessarily your fault, remember that.
On the second question, approaching his mother, you very well might have to be blunt with her. Think about what you are going to say. And think through what actions you are willing to take if she says yes AND if she says no. Are you willing to take legal action? If you feel like he is not going to have a great life there, you have a great chance of gaining custody of him. However, if you are trying to avoid going that far, just be sure you give her many reasons why you should, and why she should let you. (yeah they are different. haha).
Lastly, No I do not feel it would be wrong to ask for the social security. In fact, I would suggest it. It is rightly his.
I really hope I helped
