Girls only:

Horrid cos I knew my mother would tell everyone. And she did. Why did my teacher have to know? And the doctor. And the cashier in the supermarket? I could go on...

The first time I masturbated and ejaculated all over my trousers... I thought something was wrong

My parents were quite supportive and explained things to me.

Helped me to calm down a lot

Boy boy boy, I'm a boy

Not at all. It wasn't even a big deal. My mom acted to neutral and calm.

It wasn't that hard. I don't remember being embarrassed or anything I think I walked up to her and showed her and she was like ohhh aww and got a pad for me.

I started when I was camping in a tent, worse place to start. But it was easy to tell my mum.

I didn't even tell mine. I have an older sister and also had a friend who already had it, so wasn't much of a shock when I got mine. Just washed my panties myself and went snooping for pads. After a while, my mum just assumed I had it too.

I never told them! I'm 18 now. I got it when I was 15. It's an extreme coincidence, that this question appears right now, I always had nightmares about that. But today my mom said to my sister, "You can't tell..." I asked: "You can't tell what?" "When you're on your period. Do you have it even?" I awkwardly walked into my room. I hate talking about that, it's so gross to me.

It wasn't that hard for me. I was 12 at the time, with plenty of knowledge about what was going on. When I saw what had happened, I wanted to try and take care of it before I figured out what to say to my mom - not easy since she was standing right there in tge hallway. I think she was on the phone or something, and she asked me if sonething was wrong. I told her directly, and she got me some pads from on top of the cabinet I couldn't reach without saying a word. Her phone conversation delayed her welcoming me to womanhood properly until after I'd taken care of it, and I think I got away with as little awkwardness as was possible in the circumstances.

My daddy raped me after he knew i was in puberty i shud haf never told him!

It wasn't hard at all. It was just slightly awkward when my uncle came to my house the next day, hugged me and welcomed me to " the world of being a lady".

It was hard on me because I didn't know what was happening. I thought I was going to die and my family kept going on and on about a "period". (Which at the time, I had no fucking clue to as what that was). Then, my family stressed me out by making me swear that I wouldn't tell my friends that I got it. Why on earth would I? That would make for a very awkward conversation starter. "Hey, guess what (insert name here), I just got my period today!" O_0 There was also the factor that I was given a piece of shit anatomy book and up until recently, there was allot that I didn't know about the male or female genitalia. Thank goodness for the internet!

I saw girls only and came in anyway!!! MWAHAHAHAHA!!!!

I'm probably going to express my supreme ignorance as a guy here... but why do you girls have to tell your parents that you've had your first period? I genuinely don't know why you would, and I know I wouldn't if I was a girl unless there was a very good reason to.

It was easy. I was 12 and when I realised what was happening I went to tell my mum but she was on the phone for like 5 minutes but it felt like a lifetime.. She gave me pads and when she offered to instruct me how to use them I said "I know I know I know" I didn't know not a clue. I remember being in the car later that day going somewhere and I was so paranoid wondering if mum had told dad, sitting in the back seat mum told me if I had sex I would get pregnant this I knew, but the whole ordeal was embarrassing. I wore the pads the wrong way the sticky side I sticked them to my you what what instead of sticking them on my pant.. Three days later the pads ran out mum was at work & dad bought me some. I was mortified!

I didn't tell my mom. I knew what they were because of sex ed and when I got my first one I took my older sister's pads.

One day my mom was angry at me about schoolwork when she saw the one of the wrappers out of the trashcan. She stopped being angry at me and just asked me "are you on your period?" Then she taught me all about the different kinds of pads and tampons. Gave me a hug because I was growing up and that was that.

It's was easy.

I found it so hard to tell my mum. She talked to me about periods and the facts of life since I was 8, I got my period at 12 and yet I just found it hard to come out and just tell her. I felt awkward and embarrassed. She sat there for about half an hour making suggestions about why I was upset. She even suggested my own father sexually abusing me! So I just came out straight away and said I have started my period!
Getting my period for the first time scared me a lot. Of course I knew to expect it but yet it shocked me a lot.

It was very hard. My family wasn't very open about sex or puberty when I was younger and being a timid and shy 13 year old, I was petrified to share the news of my development. I waited a few months before I sprung the news. I think I was more afraid to tell my mom in front of my sister because I didn't want to get mine before she did. (To this day I have no idea if she has hers or not but I'm assuming she does since she's 22.) I waited until a morning that my sister had left for school and my mom was on her wait out the door to work. That way there was no awkwardness about telling her the big news and I would be home alone to get ready for school like nothing had happened. Now my dad coming into my room later that night telling me how proud he was that I was so brave by telling my mom.. that was awkward. To this day I still don't know if he was drunk or not. He must have been in order to bring it up.

Not hard because I had no idea what was happening. I did watch a sex-ed video, but for some reason, all the stuff I learned slipped my mind.

me: mom I need a pad.
mom: okay.
Yeah... that sums it up.

It wasn't hard at all... I knew she'd tell a few people but I didn't mind.

The hard part was having my annoying friend come over the same day. I was a giant bitch.

my mama wasn't even at home when i had it my uncles were with me. they started to cry when i told them. to this day we don't talk about it. too weird.

I got mine when I was 11 I believe. I would have never told my mother. But when I was about 13 and she still did my laundry, she found my poor excuse for a pad (toilet paper wrapped all around the crotch area of my underwear) still attached to a pair of panties. She called me downstairs and asked why I didn't tell her..because I can't tell you anything. I still stand by my decision.

I never told my Dad but when I was 13, on Christmas break, I just went to go to the bathroom and I had started spotting. I was home alone, and it kind of scared me, but I knew what it was so I put on a pad and when my mom got home I told her, and she was kind of excited lol.

Like saying girls only is gonna stop me from posting hehehe

Haha all this fuss over a little .

Eh, I just went and told her that I needed tampons and pads because I had started my period and she said she'd get me some. It was pretty simple.

It was the easiest thing the world for me. But then again I'm a guy.

It wasn't too bad, but I was rather scared at first. I was in 5th grade and had been going to a catholic school at the time. They made us watch some weird little video, but THEY NEVER SAID IT WAS BLOOD. O.O

I didn't know I was on my period. I told my mom something odd was coming out of me and she told me.

I was really embarrassed.

It was awkward for me. My mom seemed a bit annoyed. I remember her saying "well, let's see how bad it is" then showing me how to wash blood out of my underwear. She also asked me if I knew what to do. I knew what I was taught in school and what my friends told me, but my mom never talked to me about periods when I was younger. Fortunately I had a friend whose mother was a midwife and she was always talking about periods.

:D good to hear lol ↑

mine was 50/50
