I got my period and CAN'T tell my mom!
I got my period almost a YEAR AGO! But i can't seem to tell my mom about it! Shes always really weird about this stuff, almost as if shes mad about it. When i first started shaving, i didn't tell my mom (just like all my friends) then she found out and like started yelling at me! She said stuff like "why didn't you tell me, your to young to need to do that." Then she told my grandmother when we were walking down the street by wispering it to her. I heard because she said it kind of loud. So when i got my period it thought she is going to tell my grandmother, and oh shes going to keep talking to me about it just like she did with the shaving thing. So now every time i get it, i work up the courage to tell her and then i can't. So how do i tell her????????????

WOW! I was the exact same.
Just bring it up casually, and you'll be fine! And it's best to tell her sooner, rather than later. It's completely normal..every woman gets their period. What's the worst that can happen?
Good luck =]

Tell her before she finds out and gets mad b/c you didn't tell her, not because you came on girl! You can not hide a period from a mother, OK? I have a daughter and am still my mom's daughter. "smile" It's Okay - it's a part of life and she knows this, she herself has or had one- she knows what's up? I was disappointed when my daughter came on too - not at the fact that she came on but at the fact that she was growing up too fast and I wasn't ready for it. seriously, but I had to accept it and so will your mom.
Sit her down and say mom, we need to talk about something. First I want you to know that I do understand what's going on and why it's going on and I am going to need your help, and support for some of things that I may not know about it, she is going to say what? and you say, I started my period, do you have any advice on handling the cramps? Your mom needs to still feel needed. You are at the age now that you are more independent now, and it hurts to know your child is growing up and will not need to cling on to mom as much. So, ask her for some help or advice on handling your period -even if you know the deal with it.
good luck!

I don't get why you can't just tell her? It really isn't that big of a deal, and it's better to do it now than to keep hiding it and have to tell her when you're like, 25.
Just tell her, and ask her not to make a big deal out of it. Tell her that you really hate how she made a big deal before out of you shaving, and you really don't want her to do it again. Explain to her how it made you angry/upset/whatever it made you feel.
If you're really uncomfortable telling her, don't tell her WHEN you got it, just THAT you did.
Just remember, she's your MOM, and she pretty much has the job of making a big deal out of little things in your life, especially since you're a girl. But like I said, SHE'S YOUR MOM, you should be comfortable talking to her, maybe not about everything, but pretty much.

Ok, well, i think you should tell her but say that you didn't want to tell her for the longest time because you made sucha big deal about the shaving thing. Tell her that in order to keep an open relationship about this kind of stuff she can't get mad or weird. Hope this helps.
p.s- Have courage, you will do just fine.
