I had mine just say after a went pee I wiped and it was blood she'll
know what ur talkin' bout'

When i had mine i had just come home from youth club and i happened to go to the bathroom and i had started.But my mum had gone to bed because she was working at 4.30 am.So i went into my mum + Dads bedroom and i sat down on the bed and i just started crying and she askes me what was wrong and i said that i had started my period and she said that i had pads and if i wanted to know anything just ask her.

Just tell her she has gone through the samething.

just go & tell ur mum coz our mums r not only mums but yes they r our true best friends .go go & tell ur friend

I was very worried too, i didnt tell her for 2 days (my first one lasted 6 days!!!) I eventually just got up enough guts to go itno her room, shut her door, sit down beside and say gently, "Mum, i got my period". She will have her mum moment but after that you will feel much better. Promise. XX

Hey there, about a couple weeks ago, I put down my cat :( so terrible week problem #1. Then 3 days later I got my period. PROBLEM #2!!! And I was just like evryone else on here, I just googled how to tell my mom. I told her the day after, when er were in the grocery store. When we passed the sanitary isle, I just told her I had to pick something up, and smiled kiinnndaaa awkwardly and she knew exactly wat I was talking about. Your mom had to tell her mom or dad, so she knows wat its like. If your not close to her, then ask a sister wat to do and how she asked her, or an aunt. I'm off my period now, it only lasted 5 DAYS!!! And my mom has never mentioned it again, and lets me go about it my own way. If you are worried shell blab to everyone about it, just let her know you don't want the whole world to know you got your period. JUST BLURT IT OUT in a grocery store or drug store where you can buy the pads right there. We all gotta do it, so just get it over with. xoxox Hope this helped a little!!

omfg i have my period for over a year now :( and im 14
i still didnt tell my mom
i dont relly want to
but you should and i will also tyr it is soo hard hiding it from her
good luckk :)

OMFG i dont know what to do i got it today and i went to get in the shower and there was red in my underware i got home from shool went to the bathroom and it was brownish ut i though it was from sitting on the ground in short shorts omg what do i do HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im afraid to tell anyone should i just get a pad and put it on or what do i do HELP..if i telll my bff shell end up telling EVERYONDE and if i tell my mom shell go around and tell everyone...plz plz plz help meeeee ......soon...

go to your mom and tell frankly, she will not mind it, moreover shewill give you help.or if you had white underwear then use it ,next morning she will notice it.

I got mine today after waking up realy early with a bad case of cramps and had them for the day. As soon as we got home from the shops i went to the toilet. I didnt know what to do, so i went to my room and searched for a pad, i found one as my mum walked in on me and i blurted out ,i have my period,
Dont worry, its ganna be fine,
Your mum will understand even if you say something like ,can you buy some pads at the shops today?, or something like that,
When my mum was little she didnt even get told about this stuff so she didnt know what to say eather.
Youll be fine trust your mum

well im 11 all ma friends have started theres and i have bot wot do i do when i do start

wow i have mine today and i didnt tell my mom this is my second one... well this is ur first so u do but if my mom finds out i didnt tell her i'll be like i forgot cuz everytime i see her i do forget or i freak out becuz she goes all in front of my dad and winks GO CHANGE UR PAD... and im like mom stop and plus she knows i dont tell her these things.. im scared too

i hav just had mine today :( i really wish dis never happen coz i only 11 Waaa. I had it @ skool Waa. wot 2 do ?

Do't cry... i was eleven when it happened to me, heck, i just screamed for my mom, we had already disscud this a million times. Just tell her, every girl has this... trust me everyone it's normal.

Just tell her she wll proberbly be woundering when it happens f you get belly ache just tell her and then she might just asume you have and buy you pads and then you dont have to speak or ask a random question about periods so she might think "oh well i thnk she has started" she is there to help you..

i need help to i got mine today and im really nervous about telling my mom because im not really close with her and i dont have any pads what do i do?

I would tell her because she will understand cuz she is a girl and has had the same problem i'm sure

can some one tell me wat 2 do i started my period like 4 months ago and still havent told my mom i dont wanna tell her im not that close 2 har and it just dosent feel rite help me should i tell a friend that has started theres and USE pads i DONT NO WAT TO DOOOOOOOO HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got mine when I was 11 ive had it for a year now, mine came on 4th of July, i went camping after and i thought the blood was dirt, mom said it looked like blood and made me go to the bathroom, just stay calm and say, 'Mom, I think I just got my period' if your having moodswings or your cramping you have your period, I really hope this helps :)

Okay, here's the thng. Yesterday, I hit my private part when I jumped over the couch's arm..... And man lemme tell ya' I wanted to scream when I hit it!!!!! >.< and matter if fact yesterday was my b'day I'm turned 12. I'm not sure if it was because I hit it on accident, or if I just happened to start it. I hoped that I would start it by 16, I don't want my menstrual cycle.....
So I don't want to tell my mom cus...... I don't feel comfortable talking about that kind of stuff with my mom, or grandma, espeacially not my dad. What should I do??

Just relax! I promise it will be alright!

SHE WILL BE REALLY HAPPY FOR YOU BECAUSE IT MEANS YOU'RE GROWING UP :):):) My Mum said congratulations to me!!!!!!!! DON'T WORRY DON'T WORRY. I didn't know how to word it, so I said 'Mum, I think you should know that I started my periods today'. You're Mum is not going to be sad, or angry or anything is she? So there's no need to be worried. She will be proud, and think that her little girl is growing up too fast!! I am not at all open with my mum about these things, but it was really easy to approach her.DON'T CRY...!!

I'm eleven, and I had mine today too. I know your probably feel all sorts of emotions right now, I know I do. In fact, I had mine when my mom JUST left for work. So I feel bad, because I don't want to have to tell my dad, because he doesn't work today, I don't want to embarass myself at school, and It's probably like asking your mom for a bra, of she asking you. I feel nevous too, because my fried, who is the same age as me, had hers yesterday, and I had mine today, but my mom knew this because her mom told my mom's fried, who then told my mom... >.<

I don't want her to tell anybody, but if she does, I'll just tell her to stop, like you should too, if she tells everyone. I was scared, because I think I started mine a month ago, but I didn't think it was my period, ( I call it my poof, because we don't want anyone to know what we're talking about, ) because it was a brownish color. BUt last year, or, in Gr.5, my teacher, ( Who was female, thank the Lord! ) told us the colors could be red, to even brown.

If you tell your mom, she might take you out for ice cream! That's what my bff told me her mom was going to do!

Remember, even IF it's making you nervous, you NEED to remember your mom had to tell someone too. My mom had her's when she was twelve, so I'm not that far off. But remember to be proud! People in my class lie about having theirs, because they want one. I would know, I have my ways!

Hope this helped!

XOXO, A Girl Like You! =3

Say mom &quot;I&#039;m riding the crimson wave!&quot;

Just tell her. Every girl gets their period it is nothing to be ashamed of. Why were you crying?

When I first got my period I was 13 also. I was at a family gathering, and my mom wasn&#039;t there. This family gathering lasted 5 days. It was awful. There was no pads at all, and I didn&#039;t want anyone to know so I used Toilet paper for 5 days straight.

The second I saw my mom I bursted into tears, gave her a hug and said, &quot;I got my period.&quot;

Trust me, it&#039;s not a big issue. She&#039;ll think that you&#039;re turning into a women. Periods are natural, and all women get them. I know it seems embarrasing now, but it&#039;s now at all.

hey its ok i started mine a month ago and it was easy to tell my mom hey and don&#039;t be sad just talk to her in private and slowly tell her that is how i told my mom im only twelve but trust me after you tell her im sure she will be so happy she might go bilisticly crazy like mine did trust me youll be happy too and maybe a little embaressed

Its going to be alright dont worry. I had a teacher last year talk about changes of people and stuff like puberty and periods all that and she even talked about it in front of guys. But its your mom, she will help you, dont be shy or anything, she will just take you to the store and buy some tampons thats all. Its really normal. All girls go throw it and when they see blood coming out of their &quot;thing&quot; they all get scared at first, and cry so just go to your mom and say &quot; Mom, i just had my period. &quot; and she will help you out the best she could because shes your mom =]

if your nervous just say

&#039;hey um mom im sorta having a ladie problem... could i have a hand here? i think i just got my period.&#039;

not to tough

good luck

i dont see my mom

i live with my dad who was singel at the time

so i waited for like 3 weeks and then i told my aunt who im close with...

then i was able to tell my dad

its easy now, i can keep tampons and everything!

good luck hon!

First of all, relax.

EVERYONE feels like you are when they get they&#039;re period. Just remember that is completely normal to get your period and every single girl has to go through it. Also remember that your mom probably knows exactly how you feel because years ago she had to go through the same thing. Here&#039;s how I did it... just wait until she&#039;s alone watching tv or something. Go up to her and say &quot;I have something to tell you&quot;. She may just guess what happened, but if she doesn&#039;t say &quot;I think I got my period, do you have something I can use.&quot; or something like that. Relax honey, it&#039;s normal, and remember that EVERY single girl has to go through that. It&#039;s normal. Good Luck!! you&#039;ll be fine sweetheart!

~Hannah.

calm down sweetie its ok its normal for every girl to have there period , let me tell u this sweetie when i was 10 years old when i was in came i feel something dripping in my underwear i asked my consular that i have to go to the bathroom and as soon i went to the bathroom i find something red on my underwear i panicked and i was crying for my first time and i didnt tell anybody about it i didnt know was exaclty so i keep it as a secret !! as soon i found out it was my period and they told me that having your period is totally normal and i was stop crying and i feel so relive and i calm down and now i dont feel so bad after that so you should tell your mother that u have your period whiches normally for all girls sweetie its nothing to be afraid of its ok it happens to me alot and go tell your mom about your period and she would understand trust me its it just part of being woman , you know all girls get there periods irregular and when you get older u would get your period regular . so dont worry about your period to much its ok , i know you have your period which is scary for the first time , just tell your mom how u feel and you will be ok . take care and good luck ok

BABY GIRL

You don&#039;t have to tell her. She&#039;ll just assume. I don&#039;t think you&#039;re crying because you&#039;re scared, I think it&#039;s because of nervousness. You&#039;ll be okay

It&#039;s perfectly normal for you to have periods. You shouldn&#039;t be scared at all. Your mom went through this same thing and she would understand anyway. Just tell her straight up.

You need to tell her, or even your dad or big sister. Call your aunt or an adult that you trust.

It&#039;s nothing you did wrong. You have started the phase of your life into being a young lady.

But you do need to get some sanitary napkins (pads) or tampons.

My wife says, at your age, she would recommend the pads. Much easier to deal with.

i told my mom the second i got&quot;it&quot;.

i just ran out of bathroom after flushing and found my mom and said &quot;mom i think i got my period.&quot;

she said &quot;why do you think that?&quot;

and i said cause when i wiped there was blood.

then i started crying.

cause it meant i wasn&#039;t a kid anymore.

i was 11.

i&#039;m 13 now.

Congratulations! Well first of all your mother went through this exact same thing too, so she will totally be understanding. I would just be upfront with her and tell her or if you are totally embarrassed you could write her a note. Good luck and don&#039;t be scared!! :o)

just tell your mother about it cause as you know your mother was once a young girl just like u and am sure she told her mother about it. every female do get they period in a young age in they life.

Just tell her. Every girl gets her period. There is nothing to be ashamed of. She is probably wondering when it is going to come. Just say &quot;mom, I just got my period&quot;. That is all. There is nothing else to say, it is what it is.

Well, if you&#039;re scared to tell her that you just experienced something that EVERY LIVING FEMALE HAS GONE THRU, then just leave a dirty pad on her pillow. No words will have to pass your lips...lol.

(Ok, sorry, that was rather crude...no need to cry, it&#039;s normal. Your mom should feel proud and rather nostalgic that her little girl is growing up! She&#039;ll be pulling out the videos from when you were a baby I bet; at least, that&#039;s what I did when my girls announced theirs! It&#039;s a bittersweet moment for a mom to hear that their baby is growing into a woman.)

omg i had the same problem. and i was 11. it wasn&#039;t bad i told her that i got it and she was so happy. she was it&#039;s about time. lol

one: you should tell your mom because she has her period also and she will totally understand. this could also be a time to bond with your mom and have a strong relationship. good luck let me know.

Just be calm, remember this is something that every woman go through, its normal, ok!, I got scared the first time that happen to me but my mom was the best to tell me how to use my pads or if i have cramps what i needed to do, so firs be calm, call her to your room and tell her mom I feel nervious about what Im going to tell you, and Im feel scared, I started to have my period, plese mamy tell me what I need to do.

So then you will see, your mom will be so understanding and helpfull.

just tell her, its not like shes gonna kill you, gosh talk to her alone so u wont fell uncomfortable, dont be afraid shes ur mom.

good luck.

take it easy . she knows you&#039;re gona get it sooner or later and now&#039;s that time . she&#039;s gona help you if anything . you don&#039;t even have to say anything . just show her . that&#039;s what i did .

just say i got my period

i wouldnt say i think cuz she might like..look

im 13 to and dreading the day i have to tell her lol

or say &quot;aunt flow came in from Virginia!&quot;

she will know wut ur talking about

take your mom alone in your room or something. close the door and sit next to her... tell her how your body is changing. it&#039;s actually a good thing that you have your period not pregant lol... you can&#039;t let this go you need to tell her and she will get some pads.

Umm,

go back into the bathroom,

the scream MOM!!

and when she comes ask her if you have your

period.

Worked for me&#039;s.

Relax hun, it&#039;s not that bad. Just walk up to your mom and ask to talk to her alone. Once alone, just explain to her what had happened. She will understand. She&#039;s went through it before with herself.

well just calm down and go up to her and be like mom i just got my period. and nothing bad is going to happen

i actually never told my mom i was like i can do this by myself and she eventually figured it out but its no big deal she didnt talk to me about it or anything

just tell her. you didn&#039;t do anything wrong. but if your mom is one of those really bad moms it&#039;s not like you HAVE to tell her. just go to walgreens or something with a friend and get what you need. and why are you crying? im sorry, that&#039;s kind of insensitive to ask that. just wondering. anyway, good luck. every girl get&#039;s their period it&#039;s nothing unusual.

When i got mine i sat in the bathroom crying and then sat by my mom real quiet. She kept asking me what was wrong until i finally blurted it out to her. You will be surprised about two days from now that it is not really a big deal. Good luck!! Your mom will tell you exactly what to do, she is very familiar with the whole period thing!

Just be like hey mom guess what aunt flo just visited me! beleive me this is the easiest way when i got my period i didnt tell anyone but my bff and so i didnt have anything so i had to find ways to get supplies it isnt fun and the longer you wait the harder it gets trust me just go tell you&#039;ll be sooooo relieved you did!

Good Luck~Ali

Write her a note and give it to her or put it where she&#039;ll see it. Just write, mom...I think I got my period... She&#039;ll know what to do.

Just say &quot;Mom, I&#039;m having my period.&quot; It&#039;s not a sin to have a period, EVERY GIRL gets their period. I bet she&#039;ll be proud of you as well that you&#039;re becoming a young woman.

I&#039;m sorry you were crying, there was really no need to cry. Plus your mom will find out anyway (shes a mom, moms know EVERYTHING!!)
