I Need Advice. This Might Be Kinda Long?

Hi, my name is Madison. I'm 16 and I'm turning 17 in a month. I need to know the fastest and best way to finish high school. My parents keep me in the house all day. im home-schooled and i have no way to see my friends. They wont get me a drivers license because they are scared i will leave and not come back. I dont have a facebook or a twitter or anything like that but i do have yahoo. Obviously. I was texting my boyfriend off of yahoo and told him to come over. I havent seen any of my friends or anyone really for about 5 months now and its really stressing me out. My mom has 8 kids here full time and 4 of them are babies. It gets really load and stressful but when she leaves i have to babysit. and sometimes she will be gone for hours. but anyways i invited my boyfriend over and we had sex for the first time and since then i have been feeling really sick and i have been puking. He didnt use protection. Anyways. My parents found out that he came over from one of my brothers and they put a restraining order against him. But im scared that i might be pregnant. I know it was very stupid of me. I have been grounded ever since. I am taking prenatal for hair and nail growth though. but in the house that i live in i cant get out and now i cant have anyone over. I have no way to get a pregnancy test to know for sure. My parents are very strict and if i tell them i am scared of what they will do. If i am pregnant can they take the restraining order off of my boyfriend? How can i finish high school faster so i can get out of this house? I am so stressed and i dont know how much longer i can take any of this!

To know for sure you are going to need to get a pregnant test and since you can't get it yourself you are going to have to tell your parents. They will be pissed and probably spas out but if you are pregnant they are going to want to see their future grandchild so they will be thankful that you told them. Maybe not right away but give it time. I don't know what else to tell you except what I already did, I'm sorry :/

From your post, this sounds like a very bad situation that you are in. It really shows how strict parenting can be problematic, and how homeschool can be worse than the horrible public school system if the parents make an enclosed environment.

If you think you are pregnant, but you have no means of getting a pregnancy test, your best bet is to talk about it with your parents. If you are pregnant, you will not be able to hide it from them forever. A pregnancy is a really serious matter, and it helps to know early that you have it so you can plan what to do. Parenting can be a hard experience, and I don't recommend it at this age, even though you babysit your kids a lot. The puking and being sick might be a symptom from that, or another issue, look up your symptoms online.

Also, about high school. You say that you are homeschooled, and that you are forced to spend most of your time home, but you want to finish high school. However, finishing it isn't the best idea idea if your goal is to get out of the house. A better idea is to work jobs and try to figure out how to support yourself. Another option is to try to find another friend or relative who wants to take you in. Anyways, tell other people that are nearby and can actually help about your situation. This overprotectivity is really a problem, find help to help you advocate for yourself.

Feel free to email me or update the question if you want to provide further information or questions.

At age 16, where would you go if you did get out of your house? Is your bf willing to take you in to his parents' home, as his future wife? (Considering that he may have given you the wonderful gift of pregnancy for your 17th birthday present.) What's sad is that your strict parents have likely wanted to insure you get through your youth safely by homeschooling you, yet you managed to bypass their efforts by having your bf sneak over and impregnate you while they were away? You want your parents to remove the restraining order on your bf? They SHOULD have him arrested!
