While it may be comforting to ask others about their experiences concerning puberty and what they experienced. Each of us are unique individuals. Meaning; something you are experiencing may have the same feelings or symptoms of any of the young ladies on this site. It does not mean that what they experienced is what you are experiencing.
The best authority on what may be going on with the changes you are and will be going through is your mother and your family doctor, in that order. They know you the best. Mom has gone through everything you will go through and what is and will happen is totally normal. Meaning, there is nothing to be embarrassed about.
You need to sit down with you mom and tell her what is going on. She is probably waiting for you to come to her so she can help you with such things as a training bra and the correct use of sanitary napkins. She will also be able to tell you what pains you will feel that are normal and what pains she need to know about so that she can decide if you need to see a doctor.
This is what a big part of being a parent is all about. Teaching our children about life. We have gone through what our children are and will be going through. As fathers we have chased are share of girls and women. As mothers, they have experienced the growing of breasts, the on set of menstruation, boys who are all hands. Mom can help you prepare for becoming a teenage women if you let her.

Dont stress over it, if you know when it might come get pads, but dont use them 'till you get the actuall blood. but for now get pany liners for this gross white stuff you will get like for forver when your not on your period and get some training bras. and heres a tip: the second day of your period is horrifying, just saying, so wear a pad please, and be patient. :) [ ushutup's advice column | Ask ushutup A Question ]
