Girl puberty problems! women only!?

Number one, you don't need to shave your underarms until you have visible and obvious hair growth, that is the time to start shaving. Number two, deoderants can actually be fun! There are so many now, and lots of them smell absolutely yummy! I love Dove Ultimate Clear Cool Essentials with Cucumber and Green Tea Scents. It's gentle, works great, smells delicious, and doesn't make white marks on your clothes! Dove also makes a whole product line so you can get all your basics in one scent. Soap, body wash, shampoo & conditioner, deoderant and lotion. I think it's great to be able to coordinate all your stuff in one fragrance! It all works good, too.
On to the big problem: How to talk to Mom. I couldn't talk to my mom about that stuff, either. I got most of my information from my best friend. Her mom was a nurse that delivered babies at the hospital, so my best friend knew everything. I don't recommend relying on someone your own age, though. Most aren't as well informed as my friend was. Is there anyone else you would feel more comfortable talking to? An aunt, older cousin, a neighbor, or a friend's mom? Even if you can't bring yourself to have a frank discussion with any of those people, maybe you could tell them you need to have "THE TALK" with your mom and don't know how to get the ball rolling. Then they could tell her and she could take it from there.
Sounds like she is as embarrassed as you are. Most likely, she couldn't talk to her mom, either. You could take a sideways approach and ask her stuff about her relationship with her mom. If they were really close, if she could talk to her about anything she wanted to, and so on. At some point, it should dawn on her what you're getting at.
If all else fails, write her a note. Tell her everything you've said here, and everything you wish you could just come out and say. It might be easier that way. Leave it where she's sure to find it just before you leave the house for the day, or leave it on her nightstand before you go to bed. You want to give her some time alone to digest it and figure out what she wants to say. Just say you're embarrassed and thought it would be easier to write it than to try and come out and just say it. That's a surefire way to get things started. She has to respond and just remember, she was a girl your age once, so she does know what you're going through. Sometimes moms don't know how to talk to their kids about this stuff, cause they couldn't talk to their own moms. And sometimes they don't want to embarrass their kids by pushing them into talking about it before they're ready.
There are some great books on puberty at your local library. Just type in puberty in the catalog search engine and see what pops up. You might be able to find some information online, but I'd recommend getting a book from the library. Maybe if you left it lying around your mom would get the hint. If nothing else, you could get some good information, and maybe you could find a book that would give you ideas for how to talk to a parent about it.
At 4'9" 76 pounds sounds a bit underweight. You still have a lot of growing to do, so you don't need to worry about your weight. Just eat plenty of healthy, good-for-you foods, drink plenty of water, and make sure to get 8 hours of sleep a night, and you'll be the picture of health. That's what you want.
These are my best suggestions. Good luck to you, sweetie!
