I have red what other people have said to these kinda questions and its always just tell her but I cnt becoz its really awkward and also I don’t see her very much

what shud I do?

Answer #1

it is my second time aswell and I finally told my mum. I went to the shops with my friends and if you dont have any pads just used toilet paper as a pad and go shopping with your friends and txt your mum “heyy mum I have my period but its ok I will get some now” yeahh I hope I helped :S

Answer #2

When I started mine I went into town and texted her saying what period pads are good and cheap and where can I get them. She got the idea! Hope this helped :) x

Answer #3

I have read your question carefully and thought about what I would do, if I were you.

This is the sort of thing that you should be sharing with your mom- how sad that she is not around.Your Mom will be sad that you feel so estranged from her at such a time. she will want to be there for you right now, if not at any other, so please find some way to tell her about your womanhood beginning. Try writing this down ‘Mom, I am a becoming a woman now, I just thought I should tell you’’- take it to the phone with you, so that if you feel dumstruck or shy, you can just take a deep breath and read it out to her. even though you are scared- do it anyway, you will be instantly glad that you did!

if you really really cant manage that, then ask your Mom for paracetemol - if your mom just offers to give you paracetemol, then you should say
‘thanks, will you get them EVERY MONTH for me because I am too shy to ask dad for them?’

if she says ‘why dont you ask your dad for paracetomol’, then you can say, ‘I am to shy to ask dad, because I need them EVERY MONTH’. She will be sure to understand that you are having your periods.

The words EVERY MONTH will spell things out very clearly to an adult woman

( you might need to say it twice or three times to an adult man, more if they are watching soccer lol!)

Answer #4

Call or sit down with your mum and just explain dont worry ur mum knows exacli wat ur goin through trust me lol i was 9 when i started mine and i was in boarding skool so i had to tell my teacher who told me to ring my mum and i did i told my mum my body is changing and i relly need help adjusting i asked he questions on how to reduce pain. but if you cannot tell her try a female family member you see often and try and tell your dad jus hint like “ Dad im having really bad belly aches and ive run out of paracetamol or just say you need to go to the shop for womens things” and he’ll catch on and probly wont ask any questions was thats help full?? if you wanna talk then email me i know its really hard but once youve got it out of the way you’ll feel alot betta good luck xx
