[ Adolescent ] Open Question : My mom keeps telling everyone about my
period!?
Ok so, I started my period when I was 11 years old. I am 12 now. I was
always so terrified of getting it. Not because I was scared it would hurt
or anything like that. It was because of my mom. The reason for this was
because my mom has a very big mouth and I knew she would tell everyone.
I'm a more private person and I don't want people knowing about my private
life because I feel they don't have the right to know about something I'm
very insecure about. So when I first got it I tried keeping it a secret,
but my mom found out when she saw that she was missing pads. I busted out
into tears telling her to not tell ANYONE. I'm twelve now and whenever my
mom brings up the subject "periods" I kind of get very insecure and I
don't like talking about the subject. I thought I kind of got it in her
head that I didn't want anyone knowing. So recently I went to the beach
with a couple of my friends. I was by the water by myself and my mom and
my friends were by the sand. I came back and everyone looked at me like I
had 10 heads or something. I started getting very curious, but I shook it
off. I then was with 2 of my friends by the ocean and my friends said
"Stacey I know you got your period" I started getting super nervous and
lied and said "no I don't I haven't got mine yet" and she said "yes
because your mom just told us" I kept denying it. My friends are now mad
at me and wont talk to me because I lied to them so now I have no friends
all because of my mom! I'm very upset now and I can't even tell my mom not
to tell anyone because she already told my friends and they were the last
people I wanted to know. Now I friends will probably tell more and more
people until everyone finds out. I feel like I can't even trust my own
mother. I wish I had a mother that would understand how insecure I am
about my period. She just thinks its a joke when it's really not. Please
help me!!!
