When I get my first period how should I tell my mom over text like what words should I use?

Okay, so when you get your first period and you need to tell your mom over text, there are a few ways to do it without making it a whole thing if you don't want to. It can be super quick and easy from wherever you happen to be.

You can keep it really simple, like "Hey, I got my period." or "My period started." She'll totally get it. If you want to make it a little more descriptive about what you might need, you could say something like:

• "My period started, can you grab some pads/tampons?"
• "Hey, I think I just got my period for the first time."
• "My period came. I'm okay, but wanted to let you know."

Just tell her what feels most natural to you. She's probably expecting it and will be happy you told her. The important thing is that she knows so she can help you if you need anything, like if you're out and about and suddenly need supplies, or if you just want to talk about it when you get home.
