I, and so many other women, have been through what you are going through now! It can be scary, embarrassing, and very personal, so I understand you not feeling comfortable talking about it. But, you know, you're going to have to discuss it with your step mom or dad, sooner or later, so they can help you get the things you need and be there for you if you have cramps etc.
Do you think it would be helpful for your real mom to help you tell your dad and step mom? Or maybe you have another relative (aunt/grandma) etc that can support you through it?
If not, just remember that you are not alone and that nearly all girls go through this. It is completely natural and no one should judge you for it. So, just get up the nerve, sit her down, and tell her. I am sure it really won't be that big of a deal once it is off your chest.
Hope this helps!

your step mom is going through/ has been through exactly the same thing as you, and I'm sure she would have had to tell someone too- just like you. She probably be glad that you've told her- she should be glad that you can confide in her. hope this helps! :)

well, I know It's enbarrassing, but most woman will understand. hey, I mean, It's a fact of life. So just causually tell her. Someone ( near you) should know. She's been through it herself, and will probably be cool about it. you might be suprised.

Your stepmom is a woman. She's been through puberty herself and will probably recognise the signs of it in you soon, if she hasn't already. Just as you feel uncomfortable talking about it to her, so she may feel uncomfortable mentioning it to you, not knowing how you'll react.
You're both on new ground here, neither of you knows how the other will react; after all, you have a lot to lose if thid goes pear-shaped. But why would it? You've got a lot to gain too - a good friend who will help you through this, someone on your side when you need them is valuable.
Make it easy for her - leave a pack of sanitary towels/tampons out where you know she'll see them - makes it easier for her to ask you.
Keep telling people that childhood toys and games are not really your thing right now as you're growing up. Have a conversation with her about which celebrities you both fancy on TV. I think she'll get the message and hopefully you'll get to know each other better and become friends.
Hope this helps, keep in touch if you think I can help further. Let me know how you get on?
Best wishes x.
