What should you do if your parents will be upset about your pregnancy?

Answer

No parent wants to see their daughter pregnant at a young age and before she is married. It happens a lot and you aren't the first, nor will you be the last. I can understand your fear, but please, just take a deep breath and tell them. They will probably be angry, but most parents are there for support. Before talking to them you will have to think about whether you want to keep the baby or give it up for adoption. You can't expect your parents to start raising another child. Perhaps they would be willing to either let you marry the father of your child (if you aren't too young and want too and he does too) or, stay with them at home, continue school, let your mother look after the baby, but come straight home from school and start looking after that baby. If possible, and with your mother's permission (because she will be tending to the baby for longer hours than you) you could get a part-time job to help out. When you have figured this out have that talk with your parents.

Remember, your parents love you and being pregnant isn't the worst thing that could happen. Losing you in a tragic accident or worse is far more heart rendering than you being pregnant. I promise, they won't be mad at you forever.
