Before anything, know this: you are not trapped and you absolutely will get through this. This is an important moment in your life, and it's vital for you to focus on the support systems in your life that are there to help you. First of all, it's important for you to act responsibly - I would definitely tell your parents. Unless you suspect physical harm (in which case, talk to a counsellor or someone you trust at school), your parents, believe it or not, can help you and you won't need to deal the additional burden of keeping a secret as large as this from them. Secondly, although I don't know the circumstances surrounding the pregnancy, chances are at your age, getting pregnant was an irresponsible mistake. Come to terms with that. However, also know that it doesn't make you a bad person and it will not define you. By acknowledging that, you project yourself as ready to deal with the situation and, hopefully, you will be respected for that. Your course of action at this point up to you - I have enough friends who would argue to the death about both sides of the pro-life, pro-choice issue and my own views shouldn't have any bearing on your choice. Also know and prepare yourself for the fact that your parents will be confused, frustrated, and probably very angry. Acknowledge that while talking to them - it will help. I'm not sure if this helps, but just know that you aren't the first person, by any means, to have this happen to them and you WILL get through this. Promise. Stay strong, stay honest, and know that there are people here to help you. Even random people like me over the internet - there are people here for you.
