I would want to know because of many reasons but here are a few of the main reasons...

1) When you are going to have an abortion you need to make sure those around you can know about it so that you can receive help from them. This is because you are at a devastating amount of stress due to killing a life in which you had to make the choice.

2) Next, when you decide to speparate those from you whom you care about during a tough descision it could be a sign to them that you don't trust them in general or their judgement. This in itself isn't a good thing because you need to be able to have help when making such big descisions in life that can affect the world so much as life and death of a beating heart.

3) Finding time to share these kind of things with your family and friends is important in order to heal from the experience. You will need them more then ever and you can't rely on them all the time but this is one time when I'm sure they'll either back you up or at least support your healing time after you make your descision no matter what it is. Even if it is killing another human being.

So all in all the above reason's clearly state why you should tell not only your dad or mom but also the rest of those who care about you and are able to help you out. They will be there for you when you need them most. They can again as I repeat it, help you to make the ultimate choice for the good of you and the baby. Maybe even convince you to put the baby up for adoption or foster care. I can assure you that when someone goes into foster care it can help them and give them a chance in this world as bad as society tries to make it seem. Loving foster parents are out there and are willing to help a innocent child keep his life when you aren't able to care for the child right or fully even if you want to be able to. There are also visitation rights that you can request from the state. So that way you don't have to raise the child but you can still be apart of your child's life. Trust me I know. For I am in foster care, and though I've been through a lot, I am thankful for the people who have helped me in my life. I am also greatly able to thank all those that are willing to help others too.

I hope these have helped you and I hope you have an awesome day.    Espian~
