Sweetie as long as you are living with your Mom you should want her trust. You should talk to her about girl things and real problems that you are having in your life. Don't be scared she was a daughter once and believe me she will understand. Just let her know how uncomfortable it is for you when your period is on and ask her if she knows anything you can do to help. Maybe she will suggest birth control. If not tell her your health teacher mentioned it one day and class. Let her know you are not sexually active, because some moms think birth control means your having sex. Good Luck

let your mom know that you have been doing a lot of research and was wondering if she would help you to find a birth control pill or something else that may help you to make your periods shorter. I am sure she will understand not wanting a lengthy period.... moms may seem really un cool and old but we do remember what it is like to be young and scared so no issues. Just tell her you want to discuss something personal - she will wonder when you got to be so mature and be thankful that you felt comfy enough to talk to her :)

Believe it or not, we mothers were teenagers once too. We don't always say or do the right thing, but we do try. So,to answer your question, talk to your Mom. Tell her about your periods, heavy bleeding, painful. 14 is the perfect time to get to know your GYN. Building a trust with him/her is vital to your health. Moms like to know what is going on, so be prepared to answer a lot of questions from her. Do you have a regular Doctor? They can help you too. It might be easier to call Mom on the phone, I used to do that, call her from my friends house and talk about things that embarrassed me. Now we are the best of friends and she asks ME for advice. It's important to trust your mom to do the right thing. Also, if she got angry with me, I didnt go home right away..LOL ! You never know until you try. Oh, and by the way....we Moms get embarrassed too. Maybe you could start the conversation with.."Mom, I have NO plans on having sex, but I read that taking the pill can help me with my periods,do you think we could........" she'll be there for you.

Birth control is a great idea! Good for you to be looking out for your body! How about printing off some literature and handing it too her and letting her start. (i'm sure she will say something). Or, you could ask her about Guardisil ( the HPV vacination they reccomend for young girls) and let that lead into birth control. I would sugest getting some information on all the other benifits of birth control (besides the obvious) so she doesn't suspect you are sexually active and over react.
Best of luck!!!

if you are scared to talk to your mom, write her a letter. just let her know that you are not planning on having sex, you just want you period to be regular and less painful. it sounds to me like you are just trying to do things to get to your mom. if you sit down and talk to her she will proberbly be less intense about it than you think. you should try to form a close relationship with your mon. if the two of you have a close relationship you will feel more comfortable talking to her about everything. you are 14 it is time for you to have the sex talk with your mom. take it from me, your mom will be the only person who will tell you the truth. all these little boys are going to minupulate you to gain your trust, and eventually convence you do things that are not appropriate. you need to realize that your mother is the only person in your life who will always be there for you. when all your friends and little boyfriends do you wrong or break your heart, your mother will be there for you. don't be stupid like i was listen to what your mother tells you, she has been where you are and proberbly made the wrong choices. i know that you think you know everything, but you don't, and your best weapon agenst people who want to minupulate you, is the experience your mother has. i cannot stress to you enough that your best friend should be you mom. she is the only person who will tell you what you need to hear not what you want to hear. all your friends will betray you eventually, but your mother never will.

Just to her and tell her. b/4 u begin ask her to hear you out first, and then give her the reasons for why you are telling her and feeling the way you do. The most she can do is get mad and yell and say no. It will be over b/4 u know it.

Try not to be scared..... just tell her whats goin on with your body and maybe do some research about getting on birth control. Show her your research and just see what goes from there. If you need anything just e-mail me at lil_blonde_chick14@yahoo.com

Well, talking to guys isn't going to help you as far as your period is concerned! I know it can be awkward to talk to your mom about it, but who better to talk to? She knows that you'll be getting your period soon...if she doesn't already know that you've gotten it. She's not stupid! Your mom is (hopefully) going to be your best friend someday (I know not when you're 14 and you think your parents don't know anything....but someday, you'll change your mind!!) and you can talk to her about anything.
