HI,wow it must be tough to say so tho. I hope you are not under 18. Well, if you or your sister is own her won then it is ok to tell your parents. But if you still under their roof and using their money then it is different. I have been in that situation once but I am on my own tho. I had my first baby with my boyfriend and I was so scare to tell my parents but I live far away from them so they dont know how I look either. I waited until I found out the s.e.x of the baby and then I told them. First time it was hard for them to take it but they have to any way cuz I was 5 months pregnant and that was nothing they can do about it. I didn't know it was so well like that but then 2 years later I pregnant again so I couldn't tell them again cuz my baby is still young and I didn't even have enough time to take care of her... so I decided to **** (i dont want to say) and no one know about this beside my boyfriend and his sister. Anyway, that was my story... and If your sister want to keep the baby then you should have them sit down and talk about it. Dont make a mistake like me ok? they will be so disappoint it. You have to talk to your sister first and then you find some way to tell your parents and then you go for it. I wish you all the best ok?

well, you can help her out by letting her stay with you. However, I believe that your parents will find some other way to let her stay with them and they will be happy to take care of the new born baby. It is hard to make up the question... but Hey, I got an idea. Meet with them in one evening and have your sister there with them. Before you talk, you should say " Mom, Dad... we have something to talk to you and it is really important. If you both feel uncomfortable with this now then we can talk about it later. I am willing to help out everything here." then let your sister tell them by herself. I understand they will be so shocking cuz she is just 17. But hey, it is happening now so what can we do and this baby is a gift that everyone wants it. I dont think they will yelling at her in front of you. Just talk. When your sister finish talking then your turn.... you have to speak fast by saying that you will help her out... I wish you all the best. You know what... I am pregnant again(3months now)I haven't tell my parents yet ... hehehe!!! And they are coming to visit us in a week. I was wondering how am I going to tell them too... but I dont want to tell them now cuz I want to see my baby girl first. If I tell them now they will take my baby girl back cuz she wants to help me out by take care of my baby girl :).

well thanks for relating your story I know it is hard for you to do so, especially it is kept as a secret... I have my own family and I am separated from my parents, the problem is, my sister is still 17, under the custody of my parents... I wanted to help her coz I have my own house but i don't want to be called an accessory, yes, I'll think of it... how... because I know I have to tell our parents but the question is how....

Its so really to do make a decisions specially if your sister or your closest sister is involved in the situation, right? But for me, actually, personally, I have experience in the same situation but I face this kind of trials more brave than ever!!! When my sister tell me that she is pregnant I told her let my nephew live because it is a blessings! She, on that time is so worried, She'd like to go to the abortionist...I extremely stopped him, because it is a big sin..I told her that I will tell it to our parents because I know they can understand that situations because our parents knows what is the best to ours!

I would have a good talk with my sister about the care she would need and that my parents would need to know. I would even offer to be with her when she told them, and help her in any way possible. If she wouldnt tell them I definatley would. Even if she got mad. She would learn later that it was in her best interest and I was only trying to do the right thing.

I would talk to my sister and try to get her to tell my parents whats going on and, if she doesn't then I would tell them myself. As much as she would hate me, there are so many things that can go wrong when you're pregnant that could not only harm the baby, but the mother as well so I would tell my parents so that i knew she was getting the best care possible even if i knew she wouldn't speak to me again.
