Well, your dad might freak out for one (or two!) of two main reasons:
1. Daddy's 'little girl' is growing up.
2. He's a guy and might not know a lot about periods.
Ways to tell him: a letter, a quick (and attemping to be casual) conversation, leaving a box of pads lying around!
If you have any way to get to a store, it's also possible to buy pads for yourself. This is best regardless of whether you go alone or your dad takes you. You'll want to experiment and see what kinds of pads you like - ultra-thin, with or without wings, etc.
Your father knows that one day you will get your period. It's not going to be totally unexpected. And while the conversation might be awkward for the two of you, it probably won't scar either of you for life!
If you're not ready to talk to him, do you have an aunt or grandma who could help out?
Everyone goes through having The Period Talk with someone in their family...and we all survive. You will, too.
Best of luck!
