It's hard to see how a sixteen year-old girl can put a positive spin on her being pregnant.
"Mom, Dad, I've got some good news! You won't have to buy me tampons for a while, and you can stop worrying about my boyfriend getting me pregnant!"
Seriously, there is no positive way to tell parents this news. Their daughter - who's still just a child - is about to bring yet another child into the family.
If they have any sense, your parents will understand far better than you or your sister that her idiocy has considerably narrowed her options in life. There are some things you only fully understand once you become a parent, and their immediate reaction may well be that she has ruined her life. In fact, young, single mothers can go on to achieve a lot and have fulfilling lives, but only if they have a lot of emotional, financial and practical support, and that usually comes from their family.
However she tells them - and this is something she needs to do, not you - she needs to talk to them soon.
