Tell your mom - she had been expecting it. The average age is thirteen, but you can start your period as early as nine years old and as late as seventeen years old.

The pads with the wings make leaks a rare occurance. This is useful because you don't want boys to know that you're currently having your period. You should wear a sweater during your first two years just in case. Accidents happen.

At home, I would suggest throwing the pad and the wrapper directly into the waste bin. You live with boys after all, and so did I.

Hey just tell your mom, shes a girl your a girl she will understand. Every girl starts at a diffrent time in their life so dont worry about it. And your dad can know too it might be a bit akward telling him but he will undertsand, i mee everyone gets them...well girls wise that is.
lol dont worry its okay and its a natural thing.
annnd tell her sooon so you dont run out of things! because that would be way stressful..

its okay. just start to talk about something and then just tell her. when I told my mom I made sure no one else was around cause I was really embarrassed. don't worry just remember that your mom has gone through that time when she had to tell her mom so she will definately understand.

The answer to your second question is yes. I was just reading a site on it and it said you can get your period from the ages of 8-15. This is what my mom told me just think when you are an adult you will be able to have kids (I thought it was weird that she told me that now) but just wait til you are older

Hope my advice helps I was only 12 when I got mine and my friend's sister got hers in grade 4...

Love Helpful

p.s it is the right thing to do...tell your mom (its okay if you cry, I cried too)

I just had my first period and I'm 14 and haven't told my mum yet - just get her in a really nice mood and hug her or sumthing and then tell her in a happy mood, don't sound nervous or it will be more embarrassing. Talk as if it's normal conversation. Good luck!
