Hello teelee, I got pregnant last week and I am *%# years old. I am not sure if I should like tell my dad or not because I know he will act all grossed out at me and treat me like a loser and stuff. I don’t’ want to hear him going off at me because it gets on my nerves saying like wtf. I don’t bother with even try telling my mom anything because she lives out of state with her new boyfriend and acts like she has a new life. I want to finish school and go on to college but I am not sure if I can do this with a baby. My boyfriend loves me and says we can get married later and he will get a good job and take care of us. I am not sure if I want to tell my dad or not because he just does not understand I don’t want to hear about my future being ruined and stuff cuz I no I will be okay. I can still go to college but I no it will be hard. Shoud I tell my dad?

Well okay Baby-b4college, this is nothing to play with. First of all, just by your non-verbal vernacular I can tell you are a texting young lady, a result of our current times. On a more serious note, a parent or guardian should immediately be aware of your circumstances if you are underage and even if you are of age you still want the help and support of the family that cares for you. There is no greater fear in the world than having your child get into trouble and they say nothing to the parent that cares for them. Give your dad a chance rather than pre-judge what you think his response is going to be. As far as the boyfriend, you will soon realize that marriage at a very young age can be a disturbing and rather shocking event to someone in your shoes.

If dad is the one taking care of every aspect of your needs than you absolutely owe him the right to vent how he feels about your situation. Don’t expect for him to receive the news with a wink and a smile when he is looking at possibly supporting a new grandchild as well as you possibly for a very long time. You are not in a position to make any demands and finishing school will definitely be a challenge with a new child and possibly a dramatic young marriage. Statistically speaking, most underage marriages do not work out because of the extremely high emotions of young relationships and the under educated and inexperienced nature of the young people involved. But with perseverance and super focused dedication you can have control over finishing school. Yes, tell dad. Good luck and please take care.
