Help! I got my period.?

I am not really the kind of person who likes to open up. Do I have to tell my mom? I am scared! I don't know much. Please help me! How do I tell my mom? Should I tell her today? What should I know? Please no rude comments because I am scared.

Update:

I don't have cramps. I haven't at all in the past month. I am sure I just got it today.

    it's always so hard to tell your mom when you first get it. you can wait a little while until you're ready. but believe me, you'll be glad you told her. if you don't have pads or something, you can just put some toilet paper in your underwear, but it won't last for that long.

    good luck!

    Say "Mom, I guess we are going to have to buy pads or tampons for me now."

    She will probably be both happy you told her, and a bit sad because her little girl is growing up. Tell her as soon as possible - she will probably have all kinds of wisedom like what to do about cramps and things like that.

    Just tell her that you think you got your period.

    It's normal. She won't yell at you for it or something.

    I didnt tell my mom, and i dont plan to anytime soon.

    she will figuare out sometime. Its my vagina, I don't have to tell her anything.

    but I am also not close to my mother. so it depends, if you are.

    Maybe if i were you i would say: mom, i need some pads.

    and ask her to not tell anybody like your dad.

    and i really like how im getting thumbs down for telling th truth.
