If you don't think your parents are going to like this, trust me, they are more than likely going to bring it to court and tell on him. It shouldn't be a reason why at all to just get married due to a baby, but it should be a reason if you truely love eachother and can see yourselves together for the rest of your life. If you know you want to marry him and you know that your parents aren't going to be ok with it, you CAN get married without parent permission with proof of a baby on the way, thus meaning you parents cannot get you or him into trouble.

 ok well firstly i think you should tell soeone, ie, your parents. also, as scary as this hwole will he get into trouble thing might seem, there are more important things 2 worry about. are you thinking of keeping this baby?and what are you gonna do if you do have it? how are you going to raise it?
i think its ok to tell a nurse or someone because they have to keep it confidential, but yes, your boyfriend could get into a lot of trouble. its illegal to have sex with smeone under the age of 16 if your over 16. but it just depends on who you tell. think wisely about everything you do from here on. if i were you i'd tell my parents because they if anyone can help you through this, im sure. if you're nearly 16 i dont think it's so bad. you seem to have a stable relationship even though youre young - a year is quite a long time. so you should talk to him about this too. does he know your pregnant?
i hope everything turns out ok, hun.
hope this was helpful and good luck

i don't think that is what you need to be worrying about that at the mo, you need to focus on yourslef, your baby and your boyfriend.
He is unlikely to get into truoble if you are nearly 16, but it depends who you tell and why.
For example, if you tell a health professional, he wont get into trouble since it is none of their buisness.
You need to talk to your parents, but i do know what you are going through, i am 15, and expecting in 4 1/2 weeks, and my boyfriend is 19... nothing has been said about him... (even though it is not his baby, we both agreed to tell people that it was his, as he will be helping me look after it)
If you need more advice on how to deal with your pregnancy, let me know... you can either post a question or email me, i am always around.
all the best

 Shouldn't you be a bit more worried about becoming a mother at the age of 15? It seems to me like you have a lot of decisions to make like: are you going to keep the baby? Should/could you tell your parents? What about school?
