How can an 18-year-old and her 17-year-old boyfriend tell their families that she is pregnant?

Answer 1

You tell your boyfriend first. And depending on your relationship with him, you ask him to accept the child. Or you break up if the relationship was bad to begin with. Then both of you inform your respective family. Bear in mind that at 18, you ar adult, and it is none of their business what you decide to do. If, however, you live at home, your parents can still make decisions contingent on yours. If you decide something that they object to, they can make some decisions you might object to. Like whether or not you continue to live with them in their home or they continue to assist you (if either or both of those is the case). It is perfectly fair (though it is negotiable) that if what you decide about the baby is something they object to, they have the option of deciding that they don't want you to live with them under those circumstances.
