im pregnant
i just found out that im pregnant. i told my boyfriend and he said he wants to be there for me but that we need to tell our parents. we've decided to tell them together. but this will break my mom and dads hearts and i don't know how to tell them. when i think about how much it will hurt them, i just feel like laying down and crying on my bed, but that would be a baby thing to do. and i can't be a baby because im about to have one. i would really like help on how to talk to my parents and i think youre really smart and thats why i came to you. please help me.

Hello.
Thank you for wanting to ask me,that is sweet. I just want to say there is nothing wrong with crying at all. It doesn't make you a baby so don't worry about that and if anyone tells you otherwise they have no idea what they are talkin about. There's nothing wrong at all with crying so don't feel ashamed about doing it.
As for being pregnant, it's a good thing that your boyfriend wants to be there for you and the baby since most guys would just run in the opposite direction. I think that although your parents may be shocked about the news (possibly dissapointed but I am not sure on this part because you know them better than I) I think they would appreciate that your boyfriend and yourself have taken responsibility and are handling the situation in a mature way by talking to your parents about it. Your boyfriend is right though, you both will need to talk to your parents about this because you'll both need your own parents' support (and it's better they know from yourselves than having to find out some other way).
I won't lie and say it will be easy to talk to them but you'll both need to. It might be agood idea to talk to your boyfriend and see how he wants to go about the whole thing of talking to them. You might find it easier to talk to your mom on her own first with your boyfriend (or even on your own if you prefer that) and then all of you can confront your dad with the news. I think the best thing to do either way is to do it at your house. Just sit them down and talk to them but don't just sit them down and suddenly tell them you're pregnant. That will shock them more than anything so just talk to them about your relationship and you could say that found out something recently that you need to tell them. They will probably guess what it is already anyway since moms can usually sense these things. You just need to remember that they do love you and although the news may hurt them because the whole thing was out the blue, I think in their place I would be proud that at least my kid/s were able to come to me and talk to me about something like this.
I hope I was some help. GOod luck in letting your parents know (let me know how it goes or if you need any more help) and good luck to you and your boyfriend as well. :]
