Personal

Okay this a personal like family question so I want real help!!

Um my daughter is 10 and her friend who is 10 just got her first period. She asked me about them. Is she too young to know or should I tell her?? Can you really get them at age 10??

The sooner they know the better..Or else they may be scared.
I got mine @ 11.
so it's possible.

You should tell her. I got mine early too.

A friend of mine got hers when she was ten or eleven... Fifth grade... I don't understand, are you doubting the fact that she really got it?

i had mine at ten.

TELL HER! i got mine @ 11

I got mine at 11

I had mine at 12, my mom told us looooooooooooong before what to expect. Go to a book store, there's a bunch of different books that explain things the way a 10 year old can understand. I suggest telling her and also SHOWING her how to take care of it (IE, showing her how to put a pad in her undies, where the pads are, etc).

i got mine when i was 9
i was totally clueless
i would tell her

No no I am not. My mom told me you could I just never knew anyone who has. Im not doubting it no not at all.

You should tell her! I got mine at 12 and for some reason I didn't feel comfy telling my mom like I was embarressed or something. I ended up making a mess during school and my teacher discussed it with me. I kind of wish she would have just brought it up and discussed it with me. We were never really close though.

I want her to be able to come to me and know its natural!! I dont want her to be clueless!!

Well then yeah you should definately tell her. She should know what's happening to her :-)

i got mine at 9 and a half. so itgs possible. just tell her or she will ask and get wrong info from someone else. clearly if she is asking then she is old enough to know the truth. ifu dont wanna go into details (like the part about periods being the reason women can get pregnant) then dont....

She needs to know whats going on in her body, dont just sweep it under the rug..

I got mine when iwas nine and my aunt and my grandma gave me the talk. Dont you rememeber when you got it werent you confused??

This is a a great opportunity to teach a girl how to take care of herself..
