Anxiety

I'm turning 16 in November and I am 9 weeks pregnant. I haven't told anyone because I am afraid of being rejected. Can anyone give tips to help make it easier to tell my parents and the dad?

Just tell them straight forward. I just found out I was pregnant yesterday and I told my dad as soon as I found out. Because I live with him, he and his wife are the only people to know about it (excluding my friends && baby's father) I haven't yet found the right moment to tell the rest of the family but I told my dad I was going to wait until I got my ultrasound Wednesday and just let it express my words to everyone.

Im 20 and telling your parents will be tough no matter what age you are.. my advice is telling them sooner the better that way youll have some sort of support and plan about the near future. That way you also dont have to carry the stress of withholding a secret,thats not good for you or your baby.
When i told my mom she wasnt thrilled at all..since i still live at home but now i can tell shes more open and excited to be a grandma she even has helped by making baby blankets and is helping me pack so i can move into an appt. After the baby is born(:  and telling the babys father is very important, because weither hes there or not for you he will know eventually if you decide to keep the baby.

I was 15 when i found out i was pregnant.. and telling your parents is the hardest thing you'll have to do,  but my parents all though they were far from excited for me.. were very supportive.

I just told mine straight up. Honesty will be the best thing here. There was some tension but, now, they're the best support I have had this entire time.
