Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

When i started mine which was not that long ago, my mom basically went out and bought me some pads, and told me i am a woman now, and then later i over heard her talking to my aunt on the phone, telling her that she felt sad that i have my period, because im no longer a baby anymore ive reached womanhood.
Sometimes for a mother it can be a sad thing other it can be a happy thing or some dont think anything of it.
For me i pretty much knew all about puberty and what to epect when getting my periods, and breasts and everything at 14, i was a late starter im 16 and started mine last Nov.
Just dont worry about it, im sure your mom is happy for you, but sad for herself, because your no longer her little girl any more, and your turning into a young woman.
There are plenty of sites on here, that tells you everything about puberty and what you will need, like pads, tampons ect, and their really good, ive been on a few, but i already knew what to expect.
Good luck and welcome ro womanhood:)

It`s obvious. Your mom is upset about you growing up and thinks if you are not informed you won`t so pretty much it`s like if you don`t know what drugs are you can`t do them but that is not true. Just get her to sit down and tell her that you are confused and need to know. I found this though if it is any help: http://girlshealth.gov/
Hope I helped!

It's probably just awkward for her. Or maybe she is sad you are growing up. Either way just talk to her. Go to her and ask her all of your questions.

maybe she doesnt feel comfterbal?? dude shes rediculous. i would personally call her out for being a sucky mom. and i guess just ask a friend or ask us, cuz we'll let ya know.

just tell her
that she needs to tell you about it

Between the ages of 10 and 14 most boys and girls begin to notice changes taking place in their bodies. These changes, which occur over a number of years, are generally referred to as puberty.

The changes take place in all boys and girls but they will start at different times and take place at different rates. Not everyone starts puberty between the ages of 10 and 14, some people start younger, and some much later. Similarly, in some people all the changes take place in two years, and in others they can take as long as four years. Generally they start between ages 7 and 13 in girls and ages 9 and 15 in boys.

Puberty starts when extra amounts of chemicals called hormones start to be produced in the body. These hormones guide the changes that take place in the body. As well as causing physical changes these hormones also cause emotional changes.

A girl's hips will get wider and rounder. Hair, often called pubic hair, will start to grow between her legs. At first this hair will be fine and straight. As a girl progresses through the stages of puberty, her pubic hair will grow thicker and become curlier.

How does a girl stop blood getting on her clothes during her period?


Sanitary towel

Non-applicator tampon

Tampon with applicator
When a girl has her period she can use sanitary towels (also known as sanitary pads, panty liners, sanitary napkins) or tampons to soak up the blood. Different girls find different methods work best for them, however most start by using sanitary towels.

Sanitary towels are thin pads made of a soft cotton-like material. They are worn by a girl inside her knickers (panties). Most towels have a sticky strip on them that sticks the pad to the inside of the girl's knickers.

A tampon is like a small rolled up piece of cotton wool with a string at one end. A girl pushes a tampon into her vagina leaving the string hanging outside her body. The string is then used to pull the tampon out. Some tampons also come with applicators that help you to insert the tampon. As a tampon is put into the vagina, there is no problem about going to the toilet when using one. Some girls find it takes some time to get used to using tampons and that they are a little uncomfortable to insert at first. Never try to force a tampon in if it hurts. Taking some time to relax often helps.

Sanitary towels and tampons can both be bought in supermarkets and drug stores. They usually come in packets of about 10 or 15. Towels and tampons come in different thicknesses so you can use a thicker one when the bleeding is heavier, and thinner ones for lighter bleeding.
