Home More advice Parents & Family

first of all how do I tell my mum that I get my period. I am 11yrs old and just got my period 1 month ago in september and im not sure how to tell her. I live with my dad and my brother so its even harder to tell her that I got my period. I have been useing some pads that I got like a year ago just incase. I go over my mums anytime I feel like it but I just dont feel rite saying I got my period to her and I know that my da wouldn't understand cause he's a guy and evey on knows what guys are like. So plzplzplz help me. I am still in school so its important that I tell her in case I run out of pads and then what :(

and second is it normal to get your period at the age of 11 and how long do they normaly last for in the first year.
