I'm 18 and me and my boyfriend have a fairly active sex life. I don't use any form of contraception such as the pill however sometimes we do it with a condom just to be extra safe but it gets annoying at some point because they rip, even though we have tried several brands. Very rarely we have unprotected sex, and I'm not sure if the withdrawal method is considered safe as I don't know if pre-cum actually gets you pregnant as some people say it does and others don't. I know for a fact that he has never came inside me but it makes me anxious to know that there is a very low possibility of getting pregnant due to precum. I've been experiencing some pregnancy symptoms such as nausea and tiredness, and my period was supposed to arrive a couple of days ago. I want to do a pregnancy test but I'm really scared to find out if I actually am pregnant and not knowing what to do afterwards. I can't let my parents find out about it so I'm stuck right now.

You will only know for sure if you take a pregnancy test. Precum can contain viable sperm. Torn condoms are not safe. If you are to continue your energetic sex life you should look at other forms of contraception such as the pill.
Thank you so much for your reply. Just updating you on my situation - I will try to get a pregnancy test as soon as possible, however I must be as discrete as possible, as my parents have no idea about my sex life, and my mum has discussed about contraception before. She told me that if I were to do anything, that I needed to see her first. I would do that but I feel awkward talking about sex to anyone but my partner, as I'm a very anxious person. I wanted to try out other contraception methods other than the pill such as an implant or injection because I'm a very forgetful person, but it's complicated to do so as I'd needed to be referred to another clinic or something. I'm just really scared and I dont know what to do at all 
A cycle is anywhere between 25 to 35 days.
When was your last period when were you supposed to get it ?
Withdrawel method is not safe. A single drop of semen pre cum contains millions of sperms.
Please practice safe methods however do not let him force you to go on the pill unless you choose to do so.
When was the last time you had sex if it has not been pass 72 hours get an emergency contraceptive but if you are under 18 someone needs to get it for you. But that has side effects. But better safe.
Take a clear digital blue pregnancy test to be sure
Thanks so much for the reply. I havent gotten my hands on a pregnancy test yet because I need to be discrete about it yet it's very hard to do so as my parents are constantly around me! If I am actually pregnant, I was considering an abortion pill as I'm at a very delicate stage of my life at the moment, and having a baby would ruin any future plans regarding education. I don't want my parents to even know about this so I'm not sure if the medical department would keep this confidential.
I'm confused! You say that you have an active sex life and use no contraception "but sometimes use a condom to be extra safe". I am afraid that unless you use a condom every time then - basically - you are at high risk of pregnancy. If you do not want someone to know then - apart from the pill - there are other "hidden" methods available from your doctor. One obvious one is a "coil" which is fitted into the womb and remains there to stop the egg implanting. There are also hormonal implants and injections which last upwards of 3 months.
If it is not too late you really do need to sort this.
