13/f... well I've been having this problem with my blatter. I tend to laugh alot and when I do get with my friends and we tell jokes I laugh hard. But for awhile now (since I was 12) I have started to pee alittle bit when ever I laugh. Last night I laughed so much I made my pants a little wet. No one noticed, but it was horrible. It's not like I need to go to the bathroom, and only when I have just gone to the bathroom does it ever stop. I've never made an appointment with my doctor and I'm not close to my mom and don't really want to tell her. Is there anything I can do?

Yes - you can talk to a doctor about your concerns. But until you get around to making an appointment, there's some other things that can help as well.
First, make sure you're going to the bathroom regularly. You might not feel a tremendous need to pee, but if you do every few hours or so, you're less likely to have an overloaded bladder and an accident.
Next, for the times when you DO have a bit of a leak, try wearing pantyliners. They are cheap, very small, and virtually unnoticeable in your underwear. Many girls and women wear them to help with this problem, to collect discharge, etc. There's nothing weird about them.
If you ever have a major accident, you can carry around a pair of panties in your purse or bag. Keep them in a plastic baggie, so that you have someplace to put your wet undies if need be.
Finally, there are pelvic floor muscles that can help you better be able to control these accidents. A doctor can give you pamphlets and talk you through how to do them and how often is appropriate for you, but they basically involve squeezing your pee muscles.
The next time you're in the bathroom, stop peeing in the middle of the flow. Pay attention to the muscles you are tightening - these are the ones that you'll need to exercise.
There are several other medical options (pain free, I promise) to help you out, so it's always best to see a doctor. Your mom might need to make the appointment for you if you don't have another parent to help you out - while it's understandable to not want to tell your mother, it's a problem you really can't help. It's not your fault, and she might even have had similar experiences she can talk to you about.
Best of luck!
