I really want my period but I know nothing about it cause no one ever had the talk with me. I took some online quizzes and they said any day now but I need info about it. I don't know if this helps but I'm already wearing a real bra!

Want to answer more questions in the Sexual Health and Reproduction category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Menstrual/Period Issues?
I am 13 and still waiting

At your present age the start of Puberty is possible and a girl's period generally starts with puberty. Given that your breasts have already started to grow puberty for you has already started; which is why the quizzes you took said any day now.
Mom may be waiting for you to come to her as she may have when you needed a bra. If that is how she told you of the needs to wear a bra then I would expect she is waiting until you have signs of a period coming before she tells you what she thinks you need to know about your period.
I suggest since you are questioning your need to know that you go to your mother for the answers. Once mom has explained things to you. IF you still have questions or you have questions mom will not answer write any of us back and we will be more than willing to answer. For now it is not right for any of us to usurp your parents in this manner.
My advice is to ask mom first, then come back to us with specific questions.

IN my time, schools used to teach the 5th grade girls in a private class about menstruation. And high schools used to have sex education. Due to lack of funding or changes in school board votes, it is now almost non existent. I am glad to hear that you want info on it and from there it will be good to also 'self educate' yourself on the entire topic of sexuality and sex for future reference.
One of the best places to go for information is Planned Parenthood as they have been dealing with educating people about sexuality and gender related or relationship issues for a long time. Here is a link to the topic of 'first period'.

I have read it and it is very thorough. The only thing I didn't see addressed which I have gotten questions about is the color of a period discharge.
If its really light, and the first couple drops of blood are mixing with the natural whitish to clear vaginal cleansing discharge, then it could be a pale pink for a short while before it becomes red with more of a flow. If the flow is delayed in starting usually due to stress or having been ill, there can be a brownish red discharge, like the color of drying blood. This too is normal and eventually your normal red flow will start.
There are many other helpful topics along the side in the purple tool bar. I've read almost all of them. I find it all helpful information to a preteen who is self teaching about all topics related to sexuality.
Another site I find helpful is a you tube user LaciGreen who has worked with Planned Parenthood in producing educational videos

However she has way more topics covered in her own Sex positive you tube site covering even dating and relationship topics such as how to talk to your crush. She's funny, entertaining, videos are short 3-4 mins and she's kinda in the peer age range at her early 20's. She also lists links to some of her favorites where you can get even more information.
Heres a link to Laci
