No I did not tell my Mom when I first got my period. I wasn't able to talk to her about those things. I didn't get mine til I was 16 years old.

I was 10 years old when i had my first period. I remember i was playing with my sisters at the backyard when i felt like i peed. But when i took my shorts off there my panties turned red. I did not exactly tell mom but she found it that same day since my sisters where teasing me. Anyways, everything has been normal except when the period comes and i get abdominal cramps most of the time and i can't do much activity because of that. Then after some months my chest developed faster and my hips got wider. And at 12 i stopped playing outdoor child games anymore because they say i'm not a kid anymore.

well at first i didnt know i already was having menstruation because i ws ignorant about it... I was just surprised why my panty was having brown stains. and then later my menstruation became strong and stain became red... I didnt tell my mom coz I feel embarassed so i just got a piece ofcloth and used it to shield my panty from getting stained. |Didn't tell my mom she just learned about me having menstruation co\z she saw me washing my panty.
