No, don't tell her mom. That would be breaking her trust with you, and she'd be even less likely to tell someone something next time. Plus, it's her job to tell her mom this stuff. I suggest you talk to her about it, why she is scared, etc. Just be there for her and try to help her tell her mom on her own.

Make sure she understands that moms are a great asset when you're on your period and they can help you though it, provide information, and help you get good products. Most likely, she'll just be proud of her daughter.

why is she scared?

Why wouldn't she tell her mom? It's nothing to be ashamed of.

Good grief

Tell her to tell her mom, if her mom doesnt know, certain doctors or specialists will worry about her, just flat out say i reall ythink you shud tel lur mom, btu if she has hers, be sensitive! =]

Stay out of it. This is your friend's issue.

why is she afraid to tell her mom? .. you should talk to her.. ask her why shes afraid.. and tell her that theres absolutly no reason to be afraid to tell her mom something liek that... it's natural and it's going to happen... her mom knows it's going to happen... it's not going to be something dramatic and shocking to her mother... id say just talk to her and reassure her that theres no reason to be afraid.. it's a natural thing that you can't help.

why is she scared? There is nothing to be afraid of. Her mom will understand. Hey we all go through it, women that is....

Just tell her.

are you kidding?
period is no big deal.
why would she keep that a secret?
why would she be afraid to tell her mom?
tell her she has to tell her mom
how old are you?

why wont she tell her mom???? its a natural course of life! her mom had a period too and im sure she still has one...her mom will not get mad at her...ITS NATURAL

y is she affraid 2 tell her mom? shes needs tampons or pads or w/e

don't be afraid if she tells her mom it will be easier for her and she will need items for this development so be honest it wont be that hard u promise

Why is she scared? it's not like her mom won't understand. Her mom has it too.

well y wouldnt she wanna tell ur mom?

It's nothing to be ashamed of. It can be embarassing at first, especially if you guys are young! If she tells her mom nothing will happen. If anything her mom will be helpful and supportive about it. Don't tell her mom yourself, but encourage her to do so and offer to be there with her.

i wanna know why she's acting like its a big deal. all girls get periods its not like she's having sex. her mom will prolly be happy that she has it cause it means she's "becoming a woman." tell her not to be afraid cause her mom wont get mad. i promise

Lol kids.. umm just tell her it's fine and ask her to tell her mom

well, i think that you should wait a while. see if she comes around and eventually tells her mother. but if she doesnt soon, i would suggest that you tell her mom just so that she can have someone with her by her side. a period is something that needs to be delt with gently. and a mother is the right person to help with that job!

good luck!!

She just read it !she is a member of Yahoo Answers!

She's probably just really embarassed about the whole thing. There is nothing to be shy about. Her mom has been through it so she should tell her mom.

That's weird. You should call her Mom and tell her because if she has any health problems her Mom should be aware of this. Tell her Mom that you don't want her to know you told so ask the Mom to come up with an excuse for knowing...

she should tell her mom..

there is nothing to embarrassed about..

plus i imagine it will be easier for her to get girl supplies if she talks to her mom

why in the world is she scared to tell her mom? she has nothing to worry about. thats ridiculous! what is she doing about getting pads and tampons to use and how is she hiding it?

I didn't tell my mom and then a few months after I got mine my sister that is 2 years younger got hers and she told our mom and then my mom asked me about whether I got mine and she was hurt and upset I hadn't told her. She needs to tell her mom.

Do you know why is afraid to tell her mom? Ask her why and if she won't mentioned it I don't feel it's a big deal if you mention it to her mom. I can't imagine being afraid to tell your mom you got your period. I understand the fear of telling your mom, I'm pregnant, but not the other.

I didn't want to tell my mom either. I was embarrassed because my mom is embarrassing. I remember, she was like..... "my baby's growing up!!!" Just tell her to tell her and it'll all be over with. She'll never have to worry about it again. The worry's ALWAYS worse than the work. If she insist not to tell her mom, ask her to talk to the school counselor. That will help.

What's the crisis? So what if your friend got her period... what's she afraid of? Women/girls are *supposed* to get periods, and not getting one can be an indication of some underlying health issue.

That said, don't tell her mom. It's your friend's decision (but shy she's scared is beyond me), but she won't be able to hide it too long... mom will eventually find a pad or tampon or something.

Tell her that every single female has gone through this and most likely her mom will want to hug her with the news because now her baby is growing up. I can't imagine why a mother would ever get mad, they would most likely smile and be happy instead.

Your friend should tell her mom...

There's no reason for her to be scared, it's something that was going to happen, whether anyone wanted it or not...

And her mother won't be mad... probably releaved.....

Personally id tell her mom for her.. she may get mad but when she realizes its no big deal she be happy she doesn't have to worry about it anymore. Trust me just do it.

you should deff. tell her mom. this is an important issue and moms have the right to know. I was scared to tell my mom too but i finally told her and everythings fine.

p.s. if she has gotten it for about half a year, no one noticed the pads and tampons?

Yeah... does she want to be PREGNANT?

I think you need to BUTT out...

If she want's to tell her mom she will.
