How to tell your parents that you are pregnant?

The best way to tell your parents is to tell them straight out, even though it might be scary. I remember when I was in high school, I thought I was pregnant. We used protection, but it is not 100% safe, so I knew the possibility was there. I was devastated and scared to tell my parents. My parents and my friends did not like my boyfriend at the time, so it made it much more difficult. I bought a pregnancy test, but I did not use it for fear that the test would be positive. I left this situation in God's hands, so one Sunday I went to church and I kid you not, the following day I got my womanly friend (sorry, I know that's too much information), which I had not had in 3-4 months. I guess I would have figured out how to tell my parents if it came to that, but needless to say I was scared. However, I was so thankful I was not pregnant because it was not the right time for me to be.

I may self had to tell my parents at age 19..i was still living with my mom at the time...people now a days dont understand how parents treat there kids if they tell them i think that is why its so hard to just come out and say it, i kow for myself my parents wanted me to get a abortion...but i dont believe in murdering a innocent human that didnt even ask to be brought into this world.

I would rather have my son confessed to me directly that he got a girl pregnant than keep it from me and chose to have abortion. I'm against abortion and i never consider it acceptable no matter what scientists would claim that there's no life in an embryo! Now how is he gonna say this? I have brought my son up to be very honest with me and several times i have told him that me and his dad have an open mind and we would rather hear from him than other people if something bad happens. We want him to respect us but at the same time treat us as his best friend and never fear us. FEar cannot be equated to respect. Sometimes it's parents fault when they tell their children that they expect too much! Children then couldn't tell their parents that they have failed them and would resort to doing bad things instead of confessing. I know how difficult it is to confess to a parent that you are pregnant but i'd better face the consequence of their decision than killing my own child. One can write a letter or one can ask a mediator's help like an Uncle or an Aunt or even grandparents.

It's the hardest point in life. In my personal experience, I'm only 16 years old during that time, telling to my parents is very hard to do. But, I'm so lucky because they are understanding and caring. They accepted me and cared my daughter until I finished college.

hi:) I think it's better if they will tell it to a member of the family whom they feel the most closest,or since they are pregnant it's better to tell it first to their mom, because most of the dads may go wild with the very thought that their teenage daughter being pregnant, because usually they are so protected with their princess. and they need to talk like mature person when breaking the news of your pregnancy. It’s always better for a private conversation and after telling her the truth, give her some time to digest the fact that they have conceived. because Your mom will surely get hurt and needs some time to overcome the sudden shock, so try to understand her, but mother will always be mother and for sure even if she get angry she will help her daughter all the way.

May be its a severe situation that we locked in life if my girlfriend got pregnant by me. If it goes extreme i want to marry that girl.

I would assume that that would be the hardest day to that point in a young persons life. Their true character will display itself in the way they tell their parents. There is no easy way. The only way to do it is to just come right out and tell them. It might be easier if they have a favorite understanding relative that they can tell first to come with them for the initial telling. The old saying "don't do the crime if you can't do the time" comes to mind.

In order to be able to tell something that complicated, i think you should just get yourself ready on the things that might happen (the response of your parents), good or bad. And for myself, it is really better to tell that to your parents, yeah, at first. they may get angry to you, speak words that are hurtfull ,but hey, they are your parents and in the end they would be always the one that will help. They just get angry at you at first because they are just afraid of your future and what might happen to you (good or bad). They just got the feeling of anxiety, but then if our parents overcome that they could certainly understand. Just be true to them, weigh things properly.
