Additional info, added Thursday February 7 2008, 9:44 pm: the reason i say "the father" and not "my boyfriend" is because i was at my best guy friend's house and we decided to just try it to see how it would be. i didnt expect this to happen.. Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category? Maybe give some free advice about: Families? SDC answered Thursday February 14 2008, 7:03 pm: i know it's going to be really hard. you either have to tell them or waur untill the pregnancy manifests itself. i think you would do better by telling them. write a note or send them an e-mail. i think you should invite the father over then just tell everyone all together. you can say it or you can write it down and pass it around. whatever you do you have to go through with it. don't invite the father over than get nervous, and he just goes home wihtout knkowing. or you could even get everyone together and just show them your stomach [not trying to be sarcastic or funny] that way you don't have to do anything except stand there. brace yourself for the response.
1love1life answered Wednesday February 13 2008, 4:34 pm: Just recently my bestfriend got pregnant. She was 14 but turned 15 in december. but anyway if you dont tell them you will start getting stressed out and that is not good for your health and really isnt good for the baby. There is only one way to tell your parents and if i were you i would be like mom, dad i need to talk to you and sit them down and be like im pregnant. and of course they might be like what the hell or something but im sure after a while they will be okay and will be trying to helping you. And the only way to tell the guy is to flat out tell him. you need to do this soon though because you dont need to be stressed out. [ 1love1life's advice column | Ask 1love1life A Question ]

BeFABULOUSxo answered Friday February 8 2008, 4:42 pm: I read this question, and I just have one question: Have you ever seen the movie Juno?
You should DEFINATELY watch it. It's about a girl in your position and how she deals with it. She is really mature about it and she ends up making a really good choice about what to do with the baby.

Are you slow? You wanted to TRY sex to see how it would be? Sweetie, that's a bad idea. Don't try sex because you wanna know what it's like. Have sex because you love that person and because you know it's the right decision. Not only that, but you're 15. You're know enough to use protection, so why didn't you? Saying "He didn't have a condom" isn't an excuse. He could've bought one, or the easier solution - don't have sex! There's no way you were ready, and you getting pregnant proves just that.
Anyways, call him one of these days and ask him to come over. Tell him it's important and he needs to brace himself. Then when he gets there, tell him the truth and don't hold back. Discuss every option you can think of with him. I'm also against abortion, and since you knew what you were doing but didn't protect yourself so in all honesty, you should keep it whether you're against abortions or not.
You have two options since you're against abortion:
[A] Have the baby & keep it.
or
[B] Have the baby & give it to a family who needs it.
As to tell your parents...Who is more likely to understand & comfort you? Go to them first so you can conquer the other parent together. Your parents can also help you choose options that'll help you.
ChevyIINova answered Friday February 8 2008, 3:25 am: Nope, there's really no easy way to do it. I'd tell the dad first and make him get off of his butt and get a job ASAP unless he already has one, then have him ask for more hours and/or overtime. That'll at least show your parents that he is willing to own up and take responsibility. You, you are just going to have to tell them there's no easy way. Let them know your stance on abortion. It's gonna hurt for a bit but after it's all done and said it will be better. I'd also recommend seeing a doctor as soon as possible and getting on WIC too.
Trauma answered Friday February 8 2008, 2:16 am: I'd say tell the father flat-out. There's no need to sugar-coat it. If he was willing to take the risk he should be willing to accept responsibility.
Then, MAYBE, if your parents like him and everything, maybe you two could sit down with them together and tell them, so they'll know he won't just run away and not help you with it.
There's really no easy way to do it unless your parents wouldn't be mad about it. Just say it. Tell them you didn't do it on purpose and you just want them to be supportive. [ Trauma's advice column | Ask Trauma A Question ]
