Is there someone else you can talk to (adult) that you trust that might be able to help you tell your parents? You put in your profile you are concidering placing your baby. If the abortion issue comes up, you need to make clear that this is your baby and let your parents know of your wishes for them to be adopted (if that is what you decide). Allow your parents to be uset though at the news of you being pregnant. You have had some time to absorb it and so will they. Allow them also to be upset with your boyfriend. I can't imagine it would be a healthy thing for your parents to welcome this information with joyful hearts. You need to let them know soon because you will need to be getting prenatal care for you and your baby. Hang in there.

Have you contacted a Crisis Pregnancy Center in your area? I have a friend that is a director of the one in my town and she councils teens and their parents with situations like this all of the time. Maybe someone can help get you through this tough time. I was pregnant at 18 and the hardest thing to do was to tell my dad, but once my son was born he was the apple of his eyes. It just takes a while for it to sink in and for them to realize it's their grandchild. Good luck, I know it's not easy being in this situation.

Good advice Melissa. Our Crisis Pregnancy Centers here are now called Pregnancy Resourse Centers (same thing). So you might want to check under that name as well. There should be wonderful people there to help.
