hey!! omg, im so sorry that you are stuck in this situation, but it's ok don't worry about it too much because it can and WILL all be solved!
first of all, you need to confront your parents about this as soon as possible, because you are already over 2 months pregnant, and if you are considering abortion at all (i am not saying you should or shouldn't... this is totally up to you) you need to have it done before the 2nd trimester starts (so you need to have it within the next like 3 weeks) in most states!
now the hard part... how to do it. well just remind yourself that this is an uphil battle, and telling your parents is like taking that final step to reach the top of the hill! it's the hardest step... but once you tell them, things will just become easier because they will help you very much!
one thing you can do is tell a school councelor about this... schedule an appointment and tell her about the situation. then ask if she can have your parents come in and meet with her... when they come in for the meeting, you can go too and tell them in front of the councelor. this might make you more comfortable if you have an adult who knows about your situation be with you and help you explain yourself to your parents. see if the dad can come too... it's his baby and it's just as much his responsibility to tell your parents as it is yours!
if this doesn't sound like a good option, then try and get the courage to talk to them one on one by telling yourself that things will only become easier from that point on. sit down and tell them something like "i have something really important to talk to you about... please don't freak out and make it harder than it is, because im in a difficult place in my life right now." then go ahead and tell them! there will probably be yelling and crying... they won't know what to do when they first hear the news, so don't yell back. just let them get all their feelings out, and then you guys can sit down and talk and figure things out.
still not liking your options? write them a note! write a letter and tell them it's something important but you don't know how to tell them. hand it to them, sit down and wait for them to read it. once again, be prepared for the worst, but don't freak out and yell... just wait for things to calm down!
this may seem like an impossible task, but believe me, everyone has different problems to deal with and this is just the beginning. it won't be easy, but once you tell your parents, they will help to make your life easier and figure out the best thing to do for you! i wish you the best of luck, remember you can get through this! i hope i helped! :)
