i got my period 6 months ago and didn't tell my mom because i didn't want her to get all emotionally. I already know everything about periods and have no questions at all for her to answer. i use her pads and she doesn't realise it. I need to know how i can buy pads without her knowing/coming with me?

The thing is that i didn't really need her for anything, i don't need someone to cry on or say that i have cramps to. i just don't know what to do.

Uh well...theres no way for you to walk to the grocery store by yourself or some other drug store? Or maybe you can go out with your friends and just stop there and buy them?
how old are you by the way?
i was 11 when i got my period and i didn't tell my mom for a full year. i mean it isn't a big deal but i know she would be all weird with me.
Just find someway to go to the store, you can ask one of your friends' mom to take you or maybe a older cousin? they don't have to know why just go in, buy it, and come out.
or you can always just take a couple from your mom's stack if she doesn't keep track of them.
whatever you choose best of luck to you =]

Go to the store, grocery store or something larger and buy milk, eggs, bread and a box of pads. Just be matter of fact and throw it all on the counter to be rung up. It will get easier each time you do it. Eventually you will just go to the store and buy the pads or the tampons with out any camouflage!! I didn't tell my mom either when I was your age. It can be so embarrassing. But it is a normal bodily process and a women cashier will think nothing of it.
If its your mom you don't want to know, you don't really have a chance of keeping that secret very long, you live together. Just be "matter of fact" and act like its no big deal and she'll eventually do the same.
Be proud you are a woman. You are special.

Well honestly, not tell her is being very immature. She won't necessarily get all emotional about it but if she did it's a nice thing.. you're growing up and she's a mom. She'll react how she wants to. You obviously do need her so she can buy you products when you need them. When I told my mom she said "Ok, tell me when you need things" And that was that, it's not like you're talking about your period everyday, and if she tries to tell her it makes you uncomfortable or that you don't feel the need to talk about it all the time. Be mature.. eventually your mom won't need pads anymore b/c of menopause and you'll be screwed, so talk to her now.

Most kids get pocket money of some kind, and are allowed out of the house without their parents at some stage, so it shouldn't be that difficult.
I really don't see the point in hiding it from your mother, though. You say you don't need anything from her, but you obviously need some pads! I'm sure she'd be happy to buy them for you. She's your mother, that's what she's there for.
The longer you wait to tell her, the bigger her reaction's gonna be.

If you ever go shopping with your friends say you have to go the bathroom and buy a pack of pads or tampons. and stick them in your purse or bag.

I don't understand why you wouldn't tell your mother, but yes you can go to the store on your own and buy pads.... there is no age restriction on buying them.

And what proof do you have that SHE was the one who ran your plates with the assistence of a police officer? I can get the same information from a few websites just by having your plate number.

Go talk to your Mother.
She knows that you are hiding this and everything else.

Give your friends money and ask them to buy them for you,or if you have a very close female relative who you know will not say anything to your mom. And then hide it from her.
I know how you feel.
