Telling parents
First off, Melissa needed to tell her parents, they had a right to know because they were always there for her with love and support no matter what. She made a phone call to her house one day and broke the news to her mom over the phone. Her parents were not impressed but supported her decision to keep the baby.
They knew that Melissa would do the right thing, they were just upset that it was happening to her so young and while she was in university. This could hurt her studies and maybe she wouldn’t be able to finish school. That would not be a good thing for her future.
