Answers:

You are not too young! I'm 11 and I wear a bra but I don't shave and haven't started y period yet. Tell her straight that you NEED a bra not want to wear one. Also say your friend shaves and give her prove by showing Her your legs/underams. If she doesn't understand that then she isn't a good mum. For the tampons, everyday question her and keep asking her thinks like ' do you use tampons, when did you start using them, are they painful..etc.'

She should get the picture and eventually let you use them. If not buy your own or borrow from a friend :)



no, i started wearing bras and shaving earlier, and tampons later, but its totally normal! especially if you need them. so just talk to your mom:)



I'm 13 and aloud to all those thing when I was 12. If your mums not gonna let you do any of that then you need to speak to another female, friend/family, or tell your mum. It's really important that you feel comftable, so you need bras and the right size too! Otherwise you could damage the tissue, which could you problems when your older. And with tampons, you could get someone else to buy them for you or even buy them yourself lol, your mum won't find Out!
Hope this helps:)



i think once you get your period even at the young age of 12 you should start shaving and wearing bras and even before that depends on how you developed so you are right on that but as for the tampon i wouldn't let you wear one eather honestly you are not sopose to wear a tampon till about a year after you get your period so for health reasons i wouldn't let you eather plus i would probably wanna wait till you are about 14-15 so you are a little more mature cuz most people associate tampons with sex

if you use tampons too early you can damage yourself

just my opinion
