The other day I got my first period, but i'm to scared to tell my step mum? We're kind of close but I don't like really talking to her about that stuff. I sent her a message on her mobile not that long ago saying that I got my period, but she just ignored it :( Someone please tell me what to do because i'm really scared to tell her, seeings she's my 'step' mum.

Getting your period is a natural part of a woman's life. No different than growing breasts. There is nothing to be embarrassed about and certainly nothing mom doesn't know about. Fact is even dad's know all about a woman's periods and what is needed for a woman to properly care for herself. This is all part of the facts of life when becoming an adult.
Mom and or dad need to know when things are happening to you. When you are not feeling well and what is wrong. If you are experiencing any pains, especially pains in the area of your reproductive organs.
While it is hard for teenagers to believe, we as parents know all about this stuff. It is our primary lot in life to keep our children healthy and safe. We need to know when something is wrong so we can help you make the right decisions to get whatever is bothering you taken care of. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]

She probably didn't get your text, or is in the middle of something important and can't reply right away. Maybe you should try writing a note and leave it somewhere you're sure she will see. Include in the note how you feel such as, I am embarrassed to tell you but I hope you can understand and help me.
kittenlover2000 answered Wednesday January 18 2012, 1:04 pm: It's always hard to tell your mum/step mum thigns like this because it's so intimate and you've never really spoken about intimate things before.
Just go up to her when she's alone in a room and theres little chance of anyone disturbing you.
Remember she had to tell her mum once, and she'd probably feel quite relieved you told her, as it shows alot of trust. It's always going to be hard, but it's best to tell her verbally. The problem is if you write her a note/send her a text she may not know how to react, and may find it hard to bring it up into conversation once again. This way you're getting straight to the point and she'll be able to give you feedback right away.
Good luck and seriously it's no big deal :) [ kittenlover2000's advice column | Ask kittenlover2000 A Question ]
