First make sure that you are definitively pregnant. PLEASE stay away from planned parenthood, because they will do all they can to convince you to kill the child.

Telling your parents if you are is a whole other ball-game. The only thing to do is to tell them the exact truth, leave nothing out, answer all their questions with precision; and then, hold on.

Yeah, I went to Planned Parenthood to take a pregnancy test and they were telling me all the places I could go to have an abortion. I didn't want to have an abortion. The pregnancy was not planned at all, but I am married and 23. Anyway, timing is everything. Just be completely honest with them. You will need their support...trust me! Good luck!

Having a plan helps. Have your medical care and/or living arrangements decided on before you talk to your parents (if they will even change). Know your financial plans and share them if asked. This shows maturity and your parents will see while although you did something they deem immature you are choosing to be adult. My parents are so proud of how mature and responsible I have become since I became pregnant.

Every county in every state in the US has a state health department, they will do a test there. Also there are many womens centers who are not fronts for the abortion industry.

As noted, Planned Parenthood is merely a front for the abortion industry, and have a record of breaking laws regarding minors and worst.

I would say planned parenthood 1st to make sure you are pregnant, then I would apply at the county welfare office so you can get medical insurance for you and the soon to be baby..... Of coarse your parents will be mad as all parents are but they will get over it. I got pregnant at 17 with my son and it was hard to tell my mom because I knew she would kill me but I had to and yes she was mad but she loved me When you are a parent there is no easy way to hear that your daugter is pregnant so just be upfront with them and Good Luck

I was sixteen when I got pregnant and I had the parents that preached being a virgin untill marriage and all that. They were disappointed and yelled some but in the end they stood by my side and I made it through. I now have a six year old son who is the most important thing in the world to me and my parents adore him. They are very close with him and he thinks the world of them. They sure did a turn around when they saw him. I know it is hard to face them but keep in mind in the end they want whats best for you. Good luck

I would write a letter or sit down and just tell them

i was 18 when i got pregnet so i know how u feel but parrents are more understanding that u would think i think u should just sit them down and tell them like an adult and u would be taking care of ur child then u need to get a job to put money in the bank for the baby and show them how responsible u can and will be . ashley
