- Save up money and get financial aid. You'll need it, especially if you're going college

- Tell your mom the truth, She will probably have different reactions. She might even want to help you out. for the sake of 2 lives. If she kicks you out, its your boyfriend's fault. Let him support you. (its like a must-do that your boyfriend needs to do. He needs to help support it SINCE it is his child )

- Adoption
- and lastly but not least, although probably more than half the people in this forum are against it, throw the baby in the dumpster ( abortion .. )
Its really the last choice I will ever make if I was a woman..

As for telling your mum... well, it will be difficult, but I think it'd be best to just come out and say it. Don't beat around the bush, just be straight with her. Sit her down when she's alone and calm, and just let her know that you need her help. You don't have to say much - saying something along the lines of "My period is late and I think I'm going to have to take a pregnancy test. I need your help through this." will suffice, really it will. She might be angry at first and she might freak out, but try not to panic if she does. It'll probably just be a bit of a shock for her, y'know?

Because you don't know if you're actually pregnant yet (your period could be late for other reasons) I won't go into that - I think the important things to do here are tell your mum, and take a test. Also, does your boyfriend know that there's a chance you may be pregnant? It's probably best to let him know, too.

I know this will be scary for you, but the sooner you tell your mum, the sooner you can stop worrying about how to tell her. And, as I said, just be straight. Get to the point, tell her what's on your mind. I think she'd appreciate, to be honest.

Best of luck to you.

i think you're the same as me, we see things they'll never see

Telling can be hard, but you have to just gather every ounce of courage you have and spit it out. Tell her, "Mom, I'm sorry, but I'm pregnant." She might be mad, she might be fine with it, you never know. Try to tell her right after you take the test. You don't want to beat around the bush, and you'll feel much better if you just get it out and be honest.

Also, you have to tell your boyfriend about it.

There are many reasons why your period can be late (stress, etc.) but because you had unprotected sex there is a good chance you could be pregnant. Take the test, tell your mom, and tell your boyfriend.

Good luck, and PM me if you need anything.
