how do i tell parents
Today i found out i was pregnant but i jus dont kno how to tell my parents i kno they wont be happy anybody got any advice?
Be honest with them. Tell them you know the timing isn't the best, but it's happened and have a plan in place. Let them know how you feel, ie: excited, nervous, apprehensive, scared. Tell them you understand if they may feel disappointed or upset, but that you really need their support and that no matter what happens this baby will bring good to all of you.
Is your BF behind you with this? If he is let them know that too, tell them he is supportive, and if he is not let them know that too, but that you are willing to do what it takes to give this baby the best life possible, and you are so excited to see them interact with their grandchild.
They may be shocked, disappointed, or upset, or worried...but if you appraoch them with the attitude that you have a plan...and are surprised but excited they might be quicker to warm up to the idea. Don't get defensive or emotional, no matter how hard it is if they voice their concerns. Try to address them and let them swallow your responses and the situation, and I bet it doesn't take them long to come around.
Good luck!

First of CONGRATULATIONS!!! I know this can be scary and exciting and all other emotions, I had the same fear when I had to tell my parents. Just sit them down and talk calmly with them.. Give them time to adjust and be patient. My parents are extremely supportive now and things are going great. I hope the same happens for you! Good luck!
Well im recently not workin and me and the ex have been on n off all year so im not exactly stable i just kno they are not goin to be happy about this
What would be the reason that your parents wouldn't be too happy about the decision. Its a very critical time and you should have nothing but people who will support you around you. All of the negativity may cause depression oand that's not good for the baby. Stay clear of those who will not be by your side and as for parents they usually come around when the baby arrives or towards the middle or end of the pregnancy. I'm 23 and have two. Had my earliest at 16. Not promoting teen pregnancy what so ever because its not the easiset thing to go through but not sure what your reason as to why your oparents wouldn't be happy, but I wish you good luck.
just tell them that u are really happy nd u would like them to be happy for you
