First of all, your mother should be open and talk about girl stuff. She's a girl and your a girl. That's the best position to be. Plus, she's your mother! Even though you feel awkward about it, talk to her. Mothers tend to freak out that some girls aren't ready for it such as my friend's mother. However, eventually every mother gets a bra for her daughter no matter how difficult it is. It's a girl thing! If you don't have the guts to ask her, you can show her. When your shopping, walk to the bras and look through it. Don't worry about the others! It took me a little while to overcome all the people but remember, the girls looking for bras need as it as much as you do. I understand you don't want to go shopping with her, but your in this stage where you need your mother more than ever! If you have money, you can go shopping with a close friend who will understand or if you have a sister, talk to her. Talk to any girl who you trust (If you have any). If you don't, your choices are talk to you mom, shop with your mom, shop it for yourself. Or you can wait until time when your mother finally shops for you...trust me, she will. Good luck! And don't be nervous or you will chicken out to ask her! [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]
kelsir answered Wednesday July 18 2007, 2:34 am: just tell your mom that you want one,

Erinn_the_bamf answered Tuesday July 17 2007, 4:08 pm: Sweetie, you just need to come out and say it. Chances are she won't find it awkward at all. Young girls are constantly growing, therefore, they are going to need new bras. It's just how you need new pants because you grow out of your old ones. If talking to her face to face is too frieghtening write her a quick note. I'm sure she'd be happy to help. [ Erinn_the_bamf's advice column | Ask Erinn_the_bamf A Question ]
LM answered Tuesday July 17 2007, 1:59 pm: Well, if you're not open with her, why not? This is a good time to start, because you'll want to be able to talk to her about anything. Ask her one day [when you're both in a good mood] if she could take you shopping soon, you want to get back to school clothes, and you need to get some new bras because the ones you have are worn out. Moms know that their daughters are going to need new bras. If you're REALLY not able to talk to her, go with an aunt, or even a friend next time you go to the mall.
You can get fitted at stores like Victoria's Secret for free, or you can do it yourself [but it's harder and getting fitted at the store is easier & more convenient] [ LM's advice column | Ask LM A Question ]
DepthofHeart answered Tuesday July 17 2007, 1:58 pm: You really shouldn't feel dumb at all, every girl has to start wearing a bra at some point. Just walk up to your mom and tell her that you need to go shopping for bras. She doesn't even have to shop with you, just pick out the ones you want. It won't be awkward unless you make it awkward. It's not like she's going to laugh at you or refuse to take you shopping.

xobabygurl28 answered Tuesday July 17 2007, 1:53 pm: Ask her if she'll let you go shopping and even if she comes with see if you can go look around for yourself and tell her you'll meet her at the registers at a certain time, so that way you can look at bras and just be able to pay and not have her hanging around [ xobabygurl28's advice column | Ask xobabygurl28 A Question ]
