I live with my dad part time too, but I have my mom for that so I guess I'm lucky. I think you just need to sit down with your dad and tell him that you started. my dad is very understanding. I always feel uncomfortable doing it but I try to do it once in a while so that when I have a super big problem or even something like what youre dealing with its easier. Tell him about the privacy thing and maybe he can do something baout it. Dont think of your dad as a boy think of him as yo would think of your mother someone who could help and understands what you're going through. He knows what a period is and has probably been wondering when you'd start. Tell him that you are uncomfortable talking to hima dn see if he can fin a way of making it easier on you. Youre right you will be going through a lot of changes and I'm sure he will be able to find away to help you out. good luck!! [ angie91's advice column | Ask angie91 A Question ]

And tell him that you have started your period and that you are going through alot of changes and you will need your brothers to start giving you privacy. And while you are talking to him you should really talk to him about making your 16 year old brother ( the one in your bedroom ) Share a room with one of the other boys. Because that in itself is a total loss of privacy. But that is just me.
Your dad knows that every girl starts her period and will start to need some privacy so none of this should come to a surprise to him.

Just because he's a guy doesn't mean he is clueless. He's your father, and he'll understand that as a girl you have special needs. I'm sure he was aware that this event would be coming up soon, had it not already.
Though I strongly recommend you asking your dad about getting your own room. You do need privacy, it's true, especially if you're sharing it with your sixteen year old brother (I'm assuming he's your brother).
