How do I tell my mom I got my period?
Hey, I got my period not to long ago and I don't know how to tell my mom. When she was little she didn't have to tell her mom because her mom gave her everything she might need and said to figure it out on her own. I wish my mom would do that. But my mom is the type of person that puts everything on facebook and I don't really want for her to do that with me. I don't know how to tell her.

Hey(: First off just saying your mom I PROMISE is not gonna put on facebook! oh my daughter got her period today! She wouldn't do that. Even the meanest of moms wouldn't do that, so please don't worry about that(: Anyway I would just go up to her and say mom I started, and if she says started what then just be like my period. Just straightforward say it, it's easier that way(: Well I hope I helped good luck(:

You start by asking mom for a private time where just you and she can have a conversation. Then you say something to the effect; mom what I need to tell you does not need to be on facebook as it is a very personal and private matter to me. Then you tell her you got your first period.
Getting your period is a normal bodily function for young girls. It is all part of the change from a young girl into becoming a young women. Why girls get so embarrassed over this is something I don't understand. But I do understand why you would not want the world to know about it.
The reason your mom didn't do as your grandmother did with her, is your mom probably didn't like what happened to her. She is waiting for you to tell her so she can help you properly care for yourself during this time of the month.
What you need to do is emphasis what this will mean to you if you see your mother announce to the world that you have gotten your first period. Like I said it is a normal part of growing up for young girls; though I agree with you it is not something that has to be announced to the world.

You ask her for a talk and say, "Mom, I just wanted to let you know I got my period. I didn't want to tell you because you put everything on Facebook and I don't want something so private to be made so public. I would really appreciate it if we can leave that info off the 'web."
And hopefully she does. If not, you've set a clear boundary which she's broken... and you have a bigger issue of why she doesn't think you're worthy of respect.
