I got mines at 13 it wasnt that bad if you dont want your dad to know he does not have to i had mines for a year and my dad still dont know about it. And your mom can help you alot with it just pull her aside in private tell her.she will know what its like she has it or she already had it .my mom helps me alot with it even when i have bad cramps .she already been through it.\n\n\nwell i hope this will help you \n\nP.S. \nif your not ready to tell your mom the first you get it you can tell an older female you really really trust. I told my teacher i really trust her she is like my aunt.

This is a tough place for a young woman to be! You are going through an emotional time anyway as you enter puberty. Have you talked with your sisters and do they acknowledge the way she treats you? Maybe one of them will be kind enough to tell your mother how her actions are affecting you. My other suggestion would be to speak with a minister or your school guidance counselor, perhaps have a family session. Please know you are worthwhile despite all that is going on. love to you.

one of my friends is pregnant and she's only 15.. the best thing for you to do is take the test.. best thing is it tells you your not pregnant and you can let go of your worries... if you are pregnant than you really should tell your parents.. u might think they will be tough but im sure they will try to help you as much as possible... and for high school and college i would say the best thing is adoption.. my friend is keeping her baby and i know she doesnt realize how much her life will change

It was 2 month after i turned 11.  I was so determined that that would never happen to me. "I wasnt gonna get a period! I dont want it -so im never gonna get it" i would say to myself.  \nI was at my father's house for the weekend-I woke up on a saturday morning- when i  went to the bathroom i saw that i was bleeding from 'down there'- I started to freak out because i thought it wasnt gonna happen to me because i didnt want it. So I had to tell my father because i didnt know what to do -because i never payed any attention to anyone when they tried to explain it to me, because it just wasnt going to happen to me. I started crying and said " im bleeding from down there:(" He said "you are a woman now" and started telling everyone!! HOW EMBARISING!! I just wanted to go home to my mom -so i called her and she said that i would be fine and she wasnt gonna come and get me.  I still hold resentment about that till this day! and im 26\nwhen i got home -my mom had told everyone too. I was so angry and embarist i wouldnt even stand inline with her if she was buying pads- when i needed some more pads i would call them 'things' so maybe no one else would know what i was talking about\nI eventually got over it- after a few years \n\nAfter a while your period will come on a regular basis(IE: if you have your period on the first of the month it may always come on the first of the month) FYI- you may 'leak' through your clothing from time to time - so keep an extra pair of pants and underwear in your locker -just incase -and DO NOT WEAR WHITE PANTS OR SKIRTS when you are having your period - try to where dark colors- less embarissing if you have a 'leak'\nSorry if i spelled some things incorrectly- spell checker wasnt working

congrats. thats your period girl. mine was the same thing. i bet your in shock. its a shocking experience. just be happy that you got it already and didnt have some big leak on your pants. no, that did not happen to me, but i've heard about it. so just tell your mom that your little girl is growing up and got her period. mine understood, hopefully your will too.

Yes, its is very normal to start menstruation at the age of 10.  Teens are reaching sexual maturity at a much earlier time now and it seems or so I've read this occurs with each generation.  I've read it's due to many factors such as improved health care, increased personal knowledge and practice of health care and even the hormones they put in our food.  I started mine at 11 and I'm old enough to be your mom.  I was one of two girls that were in the same grade that had boobs and started their period at that age lol. I shared this with you because sometimes it helps to hear what other go through personally and not just what books tell you.  I also have known teens not to menstruate until after finishing high school, which is not the norm but there was nothing wrong with her. She also grew about 4 inches taller.  The normal age is 8 to 14.  But like I said this varies a lot.\nI wanted to add, please give the tampon issue some thought.  Read some info about tampon use,  I know it feels cleaner and is much easier to deal with the their are some cons associated with it and especially at your age.  Talk to your parents or older sisters if ya have any.  \nBest of luck

I started at 11...young, I know. If I were you, and your close to your mom...tell her first, she'll be able to break it to your dad for you. I didn't want my dad to ever know...He'd know I was then a woman, and I accauly felt discusted, but after a while, when your dad goes out in public to buy your pads and tampons, it's all worth telling him, lol.

First, spell correctly.  Secondly, if this is your first period, if you have a close friend that has already started, they may have supplies.  Thirdly, you will have to tell a parent so they can supply your health needs.  There is really nothing horrible about this.  Your body will do this for about 30 years (45 - 13 = 32).  I'm just using averages here, but obviously this will be monthly thing.  Once you are regular (oh, joy!), you can anticipate when this will happen and plan accordingly.  If you are lucky, you will just have some minor symptoms.\nIf you are uncomfortable talking to your parents, find an adult  lady you are comfortable talking about these kind of issues.  My Mom grew up in the depression, and these kinds of things were not discussed!  Luckily, a neighbor lady taught coping skills for pregnant teens.  Planned Parenthood can also be a good source of information (an anonymous too).

when i got mine, i told my best friend first, but because i needed the sanitary protection, i had to tell my mom, though i just dragged her to the walmart and picked a packet of stayfrees and then she goes like what?? she then decided it was time for mother daugher talk.... which was not very successful. she told me not to touch boys at all, so for a week i walked like a stick so afraid of touching boys lest i get pregnant. You are growing up... good luck .. you a re now a woman, careful ... men can see that.

Ok, so you have used a pleasure toy, is that it? No, your mom won't be able to tell. \n\nBut maybe try the tampon yourself - with the easy applicators most come with, you can probably figure it out yourself without your mom's help.

Don't worry. Every one is scared the first time they get there period. It is a natural part of growing up. Talk with your mother. She can comfort you and make you feel better. Once you get used to your period it won't be a big deal.

Sounds to me like your getting your period! welcome to the club! YOU ARE NOW BECOMING A WOMAN! Go have that uncomfortable yet short talk with your mom. Good Luck!

There is nothing wrong with u. Most of my friends started around that age but i didnt till i was 13. I promise u ITS NOTHING fun...and when u do finally get it, u'll wish u had'nt. All the mood swings, cramps, cravings, AND pads/tampons really suck...im sure ur friend (as well as u, when u get it) will learn 2 hate it very soon! \n\n**however...if u reach ur teenage years and u STILL dont have it, go to the doctor...but as for now...dont worry about it and enjoy period-free life while u got it!

She is only 13. Some girls dont start developing untill 15 or 16. As far as breasts tell her dont worry about them right know,she does not need to impress any one. Most girls that are developed at this age have eaten unknowing in there food, steriods. Before she knows it she will grow. She might be wanting her period to start but she does not need to worry untill she is 17 then worry .

i think you should still talk to your mom. i mean, she's the one who bore you when you were a baby and i think it'd be the best if you talked to her instead of anybody else. and you're going to have to tell her eventually, because you can't live for, like, five more years without her finding out.\n\nbut if you're really reluctant..\n\ntalk to your friends, the school nurse, or any other female you can trust.
