If you are 15 years old what's the best way to tell your single parent that you are pregnant in a way that won't make them consider taking your 18-year-old boyfriend and father of the child to court?

Answer 1

The mother would have every right to take the man to court, he is of legal age and you are a minor. However, you can sit down and have a talk about your situation and beg her to not press charges. That is the only thing you can do. Agree to do whatever she wants you to do and you may consider giving the baby up for adoption when it is born so he/she has a chance at a real life rather than 2 young and inexperienced parents who would not be able to afford to give the baby a good life. Bribes like that just might work, but you are in a real pickle. Admit your fault and make sure your mother hears you say that you were irresponsible. If you try to defend yourself in any way, she will just get angry and if that happens, your boyfriend goes to court. You need to humble yourself and do what your mother tells you, that is the only way you can keep your man out of jail. Take the parent to church with you. There is no easy or best way to tell a parent such news, therefore the straightforward approach is always the best. Choose a time when the two of you can sit down and talk when things are quiet, not when she has just gotten home from work, is in the middle of preparing a meal or has some obligation to deal with other than the one at hand. Be that as it may, the young man is in most states is a legal adult, the young lady in all states is considered a minor. All states have laws pertaining to adult and minor relationships, including but not limited to those of a sexual nature. Likewise all states reserve the right to charge and prosecute the adult involved in such relationships without the co-operation of the minor or the minor's parent(s) or legal guardian.
