Time for a little grandfatherly advice: Getting your period is a normal bodily function. It is a major step for you as you move from being a little girl to becoming a women. Getting your period is just as natural as your breast growing and filling out. Were or would you be embarrassed to ask your mother about picking out your first bra's.
You are going through puberty, another natural function that all children, boys and girls go through. As parents we are prepared to help you when this time comes as it can be a difficult and sometimes scary time for them; especially for girls. Boys have it rather easy when it comes to puberty. Girls have a much bigger problem as their bodies under go a much bigger change, there is a change in the way their body functions and some of those functions , I'm talking about your period, can be painful and confusing.
You should not be embarrassed about anything to do with puberty and the changes it brings on. There is nothing sexual about getting your period. Your mother has gone through this and may be waiting for you to come to her so see can be comforting and informative.
Sure you can write a note and leave it on her pillow or something to that effect. I would think that going to your mom and saying mom I need some private time with you, it's important. Then sitting down with her either at the kitchen table or in your room and saying; "mom I got my first period I could you use your help with some questions I have."
I would think this would be a great bonding experience for you and your mom. Her little girl is becoming a women.
Remember one think when it comes to talking to your mom or dad. We were all once teenagers. There is nothing new about being a teenager. Whatever you are facing, be it sex, drugs, groping; we've been through it. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]

Just sit down with her and tell her that you had started your period. Your mom won't be mad it is a perfectly normal thing. [ Xui's advice column | Ask Xui A Question ]
