I don’t have a good enough bond with my stepdad or my mom so I don’t want to tell her anything but I don’t want them to say I am lazy

It sounds like you're feeling a bit stuck right now, and that's a tough spot to be in, but it's super normal to feel like you don't want to talk about everything with your parents. Growing up means you start figuring out who you are and wanting some things to be just for you. Being worried about what they might say, like calling you lazy, is totally valid because nobody wants to hear that.

Figuring out your boundaries

It's totally okay to want some privacy about your body and what's going on with it. Like, your period is YOUR period, and you get to decide who knows about it and when. Sometimes we just need a little space to process things ourselves before we share. And sometimes, you might just want to keep certain things private, and that's okay too! It's like, my mood can be all over the place when my period is coming, and I don't always feel like explaining it to everyone. You don't owe anyone an explanation for how you feel or what your body is doing.

Handling the "lazy" comment

If you're worried about being called lazy, maybe try to show them you're still doing your best in other ways. Or, if it's about having less energy because of your period, you could try to explain it without going into all the details. Like, just saying "I'm not feeling 100% today" can sometimes be enough. You don't have to share everything if you don't want to, but sometimes a small heads-up can help them understand. And remember, your body is doing a LOT of work right now, growing and changing, and that takes energy! If you're feeling tired, that's your body telling you something. You're not lazy; you're just living through a lot of big stuff.

And if you ever do want to track your period without telling anyone, the Soso app is totally private and just for you. No one else has to see it.
