Just say " Hey mom, welcome me to womanhood!" and make a joke of it and walk away.

Wow, and did she notice at all? I'd write her a note that says "I need to talk to you" and leave it where she would find it. When you talk to her, ask her if she remember being a teen and what was the hardest thing about it.....And when she mentions periods or cramps, say "that's what I wanted to talk to you about" and tell her. When I read your posting, I couldn't help but realize that I also started in July 2005! So, you're not alone because I was at a camp but didn't tell anyone so I lasted the rest of the week (4 days left) and when I got home she did my laundry and found out and we talked and ever since then we've been close. Hope this helps!

Chances are, your mom knows if she takes out the trash in the bathroom. She's probably upset that you haven't told her. If she doesn't know, she's going to be upset that you waited almost two years. Just tell her that it happened. It's a rite of passage and she'll either be logical about it or celebrate it. Either way, it's best that she knows so that she can be more sensitive towards you when it's your time of the month and when you are cramping.

You need to tell her, and I find it kind of funny that she doesnt know. She probably does know but thinks that you dont want to talk about it so she doesnt bring it up. Just tell her the next time that she goes to the store ask her to get you some midol for your cramps and see what she says... she isnt going to be mad at you for a natural part of life that has gone though as well.

i think you should tell her , because for one then it could bring some closeness between u and you'r mom, maybe than she will feel like you can talk to her. For two when a girl starts her period its time for her to go to a girl doctor to make sure everything is okay. I really think u should talk to your mom. For the cramps lie in bed with a heating pad, or with your legs up to your cheast that could help you. good luck , and congrats on entering women hood!

I didn't tell my mom for a long time because I thought she would make a big deal and call my grandma or something crazy.
Your mom probably didn't talk with you about it because she didn't want you to be embarassed. Just tell her next time she goes to the store to pick up pads and stuff. Then she might be willing to talk or you asking about cramps will be much easier.

well i am not a mom nor a girl but i'd probably say something to her though. i mean its not like like..... its not wrong or your fault so its pretty much a no brainer even if your not close.
And besides she "probably went through the same thing" i'm sure she would be sympathetic and its strange that she wouldn't talk to you anyways as you are past the average age.
she probably should have said something earlier.
WOW i got around thier answers and i have no sisters or anything, I RULE

Tell your mom. she is probably worried about you, unless, perhaps she knows already (Moms have that 3rd eye). Try just blurting it out, write a note and put it in her purse. this could be a great occasion to bond with your Mom. sweetie dont be scared, i was too, so i took the blurt it out approach.

Can you talk to your school nurse or doctor? Or a female teacher? You should not be ashamed because periods are a natural part of becoming a woman.

I would try to help you, But my Mom found out before I even told her. Funny story. Just tell her that you got your period.plain and simple. Nothing more. She will be happy enough that you told her.

Oh my gosh, just tell her. Why is this so scary? It's no big deal. It is part of every woman in the world's life. She will not be surprised. Good Luck and God Bless
