I had them with I was 13, and DIDN'T tell my mom, and they got worse and bled at school...
so, yeah...embarrassing, plus I thought I had cancer or something, and I worried myself sick about it.
Suck it up, tell your mom, she'll get you what you need to take care of them, and maybe change your diet for a day or 2 so you don't have to strain when you go to the bathroom, (that can make them worse, or cause you to get another one)
Moms have been through it all before themselves, when she was pregnant with you she likely had lots of hemorrhoids. I know it sucks, but you've got to tell her.

You've been told to just tell mom. I don't think there is a single human who hasn't had them at least once in life. Its something thats fairly common, like getting a skin rash from cheap metal jewelry, dandruff, or acne. All these are things that can occur due to diet and lifestyle and learning through the experience of it, what allergies we may have or special things we need to do to avoid these conditions in the future. But its nothing to be embarrassed about.
If you still wont tell mom, then you can try treating it with something you can buy at the pharmacy, like Preparation H, thats the nationally known brand I know of in America. There are a few remedies taken in herbal pill form from natural and health food supply places that have worked for me. If not talking to mom for help, and trying self treatment doesnt work, you may need to go to a doctor cus it could be something else, not life threatening, just a more uncommon occurance that needs Dr. treatment.

Hi,
First off, are you absolutely sure that's what you have? Second, the odds are that your Mom has had hemmerhoids before and so you shouldn't be nervous about telling her, that's what Moms are for - to help. If you really need to you can ask someone you trust to take you to the doctor, it is completely confidential. Try not to 'wipe' so much as it will irritate you more, have a 20 minute warm water bath at night or a few times a day and eat more fibre foods such as whole grains, apples and hummus. Otherwise, you can purchase hemmerhoid cream at a pharmacy; though I would highly suggest telling your mom first.
