NEED HELP!!

I'm possibly pregnant, and if i am i would be 3 weeks, and 3 days from what i've calculated online. My mom flipped when she found out I had sex and my boyfriend is 18 and im bout to be 16. Yes, that's illegal but she allowed us to date till she found out we had sex now were not even allowed to have contact. I see him at school, but he graduates this year. I'm gonna find out for sure if i am pregnant first before i stress on anything. How do you tell a very strict, over-protective mother?

I have to be honest with you because I'm a mother myself. I would flip out too if I knew my daughter was being intimate with her boyfriend at such a young age. So, I can understand why your mom is so upset. As mothers, we only want the best for our children. I'm sure your mom wants you to finish school, maybe go to college, have a career, see the world. If you have a baby at 16 it's going to be very hard not only on you but your boyfriend, your family and your boyfriends family.
I agree with the other girls here. Wait to see if you're actually pregnant before you say anything. There's no need to get your mom even more upset by telling her you might be pregnant and then it turns out you're not.
I would also recommend going to the clinic to get birth control. I don't think you have to have a parent with you. It could depend on what state you live in though. It's better to be prepared, protected and safe, just in case.
I hope that you've taken the test today so you know for sure whether you are or you're not.

I hope that she didn't really mean that when she said it! Maybe at first she will want you to be out of the house so she can process some but in the end she is your mom and she will come around. I hope everything goes well with the test. Let me know if you need anything else. I'm always up for giving advice!

My mom was talking to my step dad and told him that if I ever got pregnant while in high school I would be out of the house. I'm taking the test tomorrow morning. Thank you both of you for giving me advice and for you sharing your story with me. I really appreciate it.

Hi there! I couldn't help but have flashbacks to my high school years when reading this post. It was the beginning of my senior year of high school, my boyfriend and I had been together for almost 2 years at that point. We were in the same grade but he was older than me due to my late birthday. My parents found out we had sex when I was 16 and he was 17, which is technically illegal. I was forbidden to see him or speak to him but yet i still did at school. It was the hardest time of my life. Luckily, we stuck it out and have now been together for going on six years. With that situation in itself I would just advise you to stay calm and rational with your parents. Try to talk to your mom about why you want to be with him and love him and why you made the choices you did. It is hard but maybe after time she will feel better about him. Now with the possibility of being pregnant.. That is tough. My parents were extremely afraid that I was pregnant and would ask me about it but I wasn't. But I can imagine how scary it would be to face that situation. I agree that you need to wait until you know for sure if you are or not. Just flat out be honest with her if you are. She will be upset and angry but in the end she is your mother and after time to process she will soften and be there for you. I wish you the best of luck and if you need anyone to talk to I can relate to your situation for the most part so I am willing to talk!
