Omg!!!! I am freaking out!! Sorry im being annoying. I will text you sometime about this because you're my only help and im panicking soooo much. Itssss so awkward!!!!!!!!! Im having bad anxiety. What times are allowed to text? Ok...So I got my period 2 yrs ago. As u can assume, Im very shy about it and ashamed of it and I get veeeery uncomfortable when my parents know anything about it. .to the point were I cry, scratch, and not eat, lock myself in my room. My mom only knows, and that was last year_ eversince I dont mention anything about it..my dad doesn't know. So, in my athletics packet questions, it asks all sorts of period questions and whether I gotten it or not. I have to fill it out with the doctor, and my dad is taking me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Which means there is a guy doctor, my brother and thr doctor will ask me about it in front of them and im supposed to answer honestly... and dad will listen...what would my dads reaction be when he knows I got my period 2 yrs ago and didnt say anything? No, i wont be mad, but he will be shocked and itll be awkward. Periods:// blood coming out of wierd place and everybody has to know about it and is made into a big freakin deal. Akwaaaaard!! Whhhhhhaaaat? Its been 2 yrs. And I cant lie about it because im 15 and my doctor will wonder why I didnt get it yet when I really did. Ive only got one day. Do u see the problem???? So im supposed to admit about my period in front of my dad... should I not do sports at all? My worries are so bad im thinking of canceling sports. And no I dont wanna bring it up at all to neither parents. Plzzz help me.

I can understand that you may feel embarrassed or awkward about talking to your parents about your period. However, it's a part of growing up, every woman will get their period during development. As weird as this sounds your dad probably knows that you have your period or is expecting you to get it soon, but understands your privacy and not necessarily wanting to discuss it with him. I have a feeling it will be less of a big deal than you are expecting, but it can feel awkward to discuss these things. As far as the doctor goes, periods are something that they often talk about with patients and being honest about them is important for health reasons. Feeling anxious is normal but if it is something that is consuming your life (making you not eat, considering giving up sports, etc.) then you may want to consider speaking to a professional.
