Well, if your parents haven't talked to you about periods and sex, it's probably because they're just as embarrassed about it as you are! And they've probably been thinking, "Man, we really need to talk to her about this!", but they're nervous about bringing it up. So they keep avoiding it... just like you have.
You may never have one of those super-open talk-about-anything relationships with them, but it's probably a good idea to get "the talk" out of the way, as uncomfortable as it might be. Even though you already know how it all works, there may be a couple things your parents feel they should say about it. Once they've said it, the subject may never come up again... but you'll all feel a sense of relief knowing that you've finally talked about it.
Also... there may come a time when you really NEED to talk about something. If there's some problem with your period, for instance, it'll nice to be able to ask your mom about it, or at least ask her to take you to the doctor. And besides all that... it'll be really nice to be able to say, "Mom, I need some more tampons", instead of having to buy them yourself and hide them!
Since it's hard to talk about it in person, maybe you could write your mom a note and leave it somewhere where she can read it when you're not around. Just say something like, "Dear Mom, I just wanted to let you know that I've had my period for about a year now. Since we've never really talked about it, I feel kinda funny telling you in person. But I just wanted to let you know."
That might open the door for them to talk to you about the whole sex thing. Or who knows... maybe they never will (some parents don't!).
Good luck! :)

you dont have to say it right out you have your period..you can drop hints like leaving a box of tampons or pads in your room showing.She might give you the sex talk when she notices, she might not. If she does give the sex talk, just get through it for the one time. I got it, it was so0o0o awkward, but my mom was just being a good parent.
good luck

How do you keep it secret anyway? Maybe she already knows but is saving you the "embarrassment"?
If not, just find a way to tell her.
"Mum, where do you keep the pads/tampons" - she'll soon catch on to what you're saying.
and if the sex talk comes up (didn't with me :S) just tell her you got told all about it at school.

oh i had my period about a 2 years ago and don't worry, my parents didn't give me the sex talk i only told my mom and she hasn't told my dad. Parents just are happy to see you growing up. You should probably tell your mom because you can't really hide it forever. Trust me it will work out and they will probably not give you the sex talk and yes i think they are just as afraid to talk to you as you are with them about sex.
Hope I helped.
