A lot of girls get pregnant at young ages. I was 15 also when I found out I was pregnant, I know how scary it can be. The best thing to do is talk to your parents and let them know that you are pregnant. That wat they can help you get the medical care that you need for you and your baby. It will be hard to tell your parent but its the best thing to do to help you get threw this. If you need someone to talk to you can write me and ill be more than happy to answer any questions you may have!!! Just please talk to your parnets and let them know what is going on!!!

Speaking as a parent myself - with 3 adult children - you really DO need to let your parents know as soon as possible. I suggest you watch the movie "Juno". The pregnant teenager in that film discovers her parents actually become quite supportive of her situation as she faces her problems and acts quite admirably. Juno's dad was disrespectful and condemning at first but he became very supportive and cooperative. I suspect your parents are also willing to work with you more than you imagine. Please give them the chance to do so.
(Yes, that film is a fictional story. It accurately reflects real situations that I have seen play out in families I'm familiar with.)
At the very least, you need SOME responsible adult to help and guide you. A school counselor or special teacher, clergyman, athletic coach, Scout leader, family doctor, even an older brother/sister or aunt/uncle may be good choices. If you make a good choice of somebody to help you break the news to your parents, they will even go with you, speak for you, and support you in those difficult moments.
Please make sure your baby has all the care and opportunity he or she will need to grow up.

Dont panic. The other aunts have guided you well. There are many young girls who made the same mistake as you. Your parents may be angry but they will get use to it. You need to decide what you want to do. Do you want to continue the pregnancy? A lot of girls do and they have the support of their parents. some go into mother and baby homes. Almost all finish school and gain their qualifications. Its not the end of the world. These days society is quite accommodating. If you do continue with the pregnancy you will be responsible for another human for the rest of your life. It never stops. You will not have much of a social life as you will always have child care responsibilities. Dont expect your parents to take over caring for the child as it will be your responsibility.
For now you need to get it medically confirmed that you are pregnant and tell your parents. I am sure they will understand that you made a mistake. We all do in life.
Keep us posted!

Before you do anything else, make an appointment to see a doctor and get a full health check. In Britain it's free and confidential. When you've done that, speak to the doctor about help in how to tell your parents and the father. They can offer support and can help you decide what you want to do, and provide counselling if you need it. Then you will need to tell the father, and you'll need to tell your parents.
