Mackenzie answered Sunday July 24 2005, 2:27 am: I don't see why you should keep this from her. It's really no big deal. Just tell it to her real quick and flat out, as to avoid embarrassment. :) [ Mackenzie's advice column | Ask Mackenzie A Question ]
LifesNoStoryBook answered Sunday July 24 2005, 12:10 am: If you don't want to tell her about it, then you don't have to. I think if you talked to her about this, it will bring you two closer together because, she went through the same thing.

cookierat123 answered Saturday July 23 2005, 10:18 pm: ok first of all im really sorry about what happend with your mom. that must be really hard for you. well, anyway, i think you shouldnt have to tell her if you dont want to. just wait untill she asks. i mean you can get pads anytime you want from you step sister anyway. so whats the rush in telling her right?

Karen answered Saturday July 23 2005, 8:46 pm: No, you shouldn't wait to talk to her about this. Just sit her down one day and tell her. She'll probably talk to you about and it will make you two closer. If you don't want to tell her about this, then you don't have to but you should. [ Karen's advice column | Ask Karen A Question ]

xXsarahlizXx answered Saturday July 23 2005, 8:43 pm: well you could keep waiting until you feel more comfortable telling her then tell her yourself. you could have your step sister tell her. you could also wait until she asks...eventually she should. i mean she should worry hen your 17 or 18 and havent mentioned starting. but its alright to be scared especially since she isnt your mom. i think your all good to go for a bit as long as you can get supplies. and congratulations on becoming a woman. it isnt that much fun at least not for me but you'll be fine.
t0xicParadiSe answered Saturday July 23 2005, 8:41 pm: in my opinion i think you should talk to her because shes been through the things that your going to be going through in the next couple years and it would be easier on you if you knew you could talk to her about these things
if you do decide to tell her this might bring you two closer because she then will know that you trust her about these things and that way you two could be open with each other
hope that helps if you need anything else drop one in my inbox ♥ [ t0xicParadiSe's advice column | Ask t0xicParadiSe A Question ]
JustAskAlli answered Saturday July 23 2005, 8:40 pm: Talking about your period, or sharing it with others can be very personal. It's just really up to you who your share it with. It doesn't matter if you wait or not, it depends on you. And make sure you thank your step-sister.
cailoisa answered Saturday July 23 2005, 8:36 pm: Your period is very personal. Feel free to keep it to yourself, unless you have a question or need help with something. If you really want her to know, you could try telling her that you need pads next time she goes to the store. That should open up conversation about the topic. Otherwise, it doesn't matter if you ever tell anyone. Only tell people if you are comfortable with it, because it really is no one's business but yours.
Curemysadness answered Saturday July 23 2005, 8:33 pm: yeah, i was scared to tell people when i got it. but you have to do it sometime or another. i think i was going to wait til someone asked me if i had it to tell them. i was really scared. but you have to do it. just wait for the right time, most likely you will want it to be when it's just you two together. maybe going shopping, or just out for ice cream, somewhere so you guys can talk, and maybe even bond a little bit! who knows, maybe this will bring you closer! if you are scared just write down what you are going to say, and practice it in the mirror or something..that might sound stupid, but heyy it's worth a shot! or maybe you could go with her when she goes shopping to wal-mart or wherever she buys her pads/tampons, and when you go down the aisle they are in..tell her that you need some! you don't nessecarily have to tell her WHEN you got it (if you think you are going to feel stupid for not telling her for 3 months..), but you still need to let her know that you have it, so she can help you out if you ever need anything! Good Luck! [ Curemysadness's advice column | Ask Curemysadness A Question ]
ItzMzManda answered Saturday July 23 2005, 8:25 pm: You should talk to your step mom. She's been through everything that your going to be going through. Your step mom will help you by giving advice. She might want to know, but isn't sure if your going to open up to her. You both will get closer if you guys talk. Hope this helps!
devilspawn_666 answered Saturday July 23 2005, 8:18 pm: What I reccomend is that you casually go up to your stepmom and ask her nicely if she could please pick up some extra pads for you the next time she's at the store. It's like killing two birds with one stone, you nonchalantly tell her that you get your period and you get a supply of pads for yourself.

Me_Help_You answered Saturday July 23 2005, 8:01 pm: You should really tell your step mother. You shouldn't be scared. Even if you arn't cloe, she needs to know these things because she can help! [ Me_Help_You's advice column | Ask Me_Help_You A Question ]
