If I ask my mom or siblings they might brush it off and say I’m fine because I think I’m starting to have symptoms

Ugh, that's literally the WORST feeling when you feel something new happening with your body and you're worried no one will get it. But it's super important to talk to a trusted adult, even if it feels awkward, because they can help you understand what's going on and get ready for your first period.

Okay so, your body is doing all sorts of new stuff, and some of it can be a little confusing or even feel a bit weird. This is all part of puberty and it's totally normal. Things like new hair growing in new places, your breasts starting to develop, or even a white or yellowish discharge in your underwear are all signs that your body is getting ready for your period. It's not just "in your head" – these are real changes!

Even if they say "you're fine," it's still good to tell them what you're noticing. That way, they know what's up and can help you get supplies like pads or period undies. They can also just be there for you when you need to talk about it or if you have questions. Remember, they went through puberty too, so they probably know more than you think!

If you want to get a general idea of how close you might be to your first period, there's a quiz that can help you figure it out: [how close is my first period?](https://www.sosoapp.com.br/en/quizzes/how-close-is my-first-period)
