Telling your friend should be the easy part :P
Make sure she understands you know you've been kind of weird and off lately and you want to explain to her why. Start the conversation with that, but don't take too long to tell her or you might get her anxious. The best way to tell people is to prepare them just a little bit and then tell them straight out.

Especially with your parents, don't be too "beat-around-the-bush" or they could get nervous and scared, which you don't want that to be the feeling before you tell them something this big. Let them know you have no idea what you want to do yet, but you could use their advice and support.

Definitely tell them soon though, as getting into a doctor as soon as possible is always best. Just that way they can give you your options and you will have a lot of time to think about what you want to do. If you decide to keep it or put it up for adoption, then you can start on prenatal vitamins early on, which is always best on you and the baby.

There is a lot to be done and it can get stressful, but if you decide to have the baby remember it's a precious thing to have happen and be a part of.

I hope this helps a bit. I'll sum it up:

- Tell friend, boyfriend, families.
- Get to a doctor and ask about options.
- Think about options.

If you have any questions, feel free to PM me. Just remember, take things one step at a time and don't overwhelm yourself. Telling people important to you is first priority so you can get a support and advice system going
