Tell someone!

It is very important that you talk to someone. You cannot stay alone and suffer in silence. First talk to someone you trust, a friend, your brother or sister, a professor/teacher, your family, friends of your parents, or your parents. If you do not dare to talk about it, there are many websites that can guide you. Info for teens is one of them. You can go to their website and chat directly with their experts. They have nearly 100 years of experience and can help you with pregnancy. You can tell your story or ask your question.

When do you have to tell your parents?

Assume that you will have to tell them sooner or later. Your baby grows and your belly will show soon and therefore waiting will only make it more difficult for you to tell. Your parents will obviously be shocked. Be ready for this! Let them recover from the shock. Once past the initial surprise, they can help you. Your mother was pregnant with you and cared for you when you were born. She can share her experience and help you.

You are reluctant to talk to your parents

You can get help from various agencies. They can help you decide what to do with your pregnancy and help you consider the best way to start the conversation with your parents.
