Get a close friend taht you can tel adn have their mom explain it all to your dad. This is the only way you dont hav eto tell your manly dad and still get the suplies you need. and you need them. Make sure the women warnsn them about "side effects" also...
kendallski03 answered Sunday November 6 2005, 10:32 am: That really sucks that you have to share a room with your brother. Maybe you can get a ride with your close friend and her mom or older brother [who can drive] or something like that. Then you can go to the drug store or whatever and get some 'supplies.' About your dad, I think that you would feel much better if you just let it out to your dad and tell him what's happening. I think you'll feel much better about the situation and I'm sure he'll be glad that you told him the truth.
sizzlinmandolin answered Sunday November 6 2005, 1:27 am: Your dad will completely understand. He's dealt with it before in his life. You're about the age when girls start their periods and I'm sure he's thought about it already. Your dad does need to know though. Don't try avoiding talking to him about it and trying to get supplies in another way. After awhile your Dad will figure it out and probably be upset that you didn't tell him. Don't be nervous either, just go up to him and say something that's a little indirect like "Dad, can we go to the store and get some feminine products?" Your shouldn't tell your brother. If he finds out he won't tell anybody. Telling him will just gross him out especially if you share a room with him. Thirteen year old guys are pretty immature about stuff like that. If he finds out he'll pretend that he didn't so no worries there. Good luck with everything! [ sizzlinmandolin's advice column | Ask sizzlinmandolin A Question ]

xonikkixo answered Sunday November 6 2005, 12:34 am: okay well think to yourself which person your brohter or dad it would be easier expplaing to first !then tell them .. or u can do it both at the same time get them together & tell them. Explain to them that you are not a little girl anymore you are a young lady blossoming into an adult that you need your privacy and you need some more womenly things. then explain to them like pads because you gotten your period tell them you feel as though you shouldnt hide it from them and then tell them you feel as though noone buh in the house should know that its your bussiness
lulabelle answered Sunday November 6 2005, 12:28 am: You can go to you father w/o any worries. You father already knows that women go through this; he is probably expecting it to happen at some point. I'm sure he will be open with you about it and won't make a big deal. Now your brother is another matter. If you make a big deal about how you don’t want anyone to know…he’ll tell for sure. Act like it is no big deal. Also, when you go to your father about how you’ve started ask him if he would talk to your brother privately. Maybe he can explain to him how this is a private matter and no one else needs to know about it unless you want to tell them.
TakeT_H_Achance answered Sunday November 6 2005, 12:28 am: Okay...Ugh I am in a family where my parents split. Well the time I first time I started happend to be when I was with MY dad. Although my dad had NEVER find out and prolly NEVER will I went to a friend for supplies. I know it might be awkward but if you are scared to tell your dad ask a friend.. ALL girls go through this. It is normal. So I know it migh tbe hard but sit down with your brother and dad. and tell them "guys I don't know how else to tell you. and after I tell you I don't want yall to say anything. but in life as a girl gets older she begins to change as yall know. Well I had my first time of the month.. (which is how I say it)" and explain to them what you need and how you need them to support you since you are the only girl. Like me. I have 2 brothers 1 is 16 and the other 13 I am 14 and then is my dad. and I have like a whole other family on my mom's side. So explain to them why you don't want them to say anything and how you need their support. I promise they will understand.
I hope I helped! (@Laters&) [ TakeT_H_Achance's advice column | Ask TakeT_H_Achance A Question ]
x0blu3eyedbeautyx0 answered Sunday November 6 2005, 12:19 am: Ok you shouldn't be embarrased to tell your dad, because he's an adult and he understands women and their periods..well as much as a guy can understand lol! Just say to him...dad can you please pick me up soem tampons/pads (w/e you use)! If oyu just say somehting like that instead of some big dramatic thing like, dad i got my period for the first time and i need "stuff". If you sound mature and relaxed about it your dad won't make a big deal! As for your brother...be like hey i got my period...but can you keep it on the DL for now! He'll probably act immature btu what can you do...he's a boy. But, he's your brother and if you ask him to keep it quiet..he will! Good luck! ♥ caitie
Teza answered Sunday November 6 2005, 12:18 am: Having periods is a natrual thing for all girls. All the guys also know that. Your dad is your dad. He knows you will start one day. Just tell him.. "Dad, I have to buy some "girl" stuff. Will you take me to the grocery store?" I think he will know what you mean. You don't really have to tell your brother, but if he finds out then oh well. I understand that you will feel okward but it's nothing to hide. [ Teza's advice column | Ask Teza A Question ]
