How Do I Talk To My Parents About Puberty?

By: Kim Shire



Talking to you parents about personal issues can be hard, but this is something that you need to do. Don’t forget that your mom is a woman also, and she has probably experienced many of the same issues that you face now. She will probably understand your embarrassment, and she may feel a little embarrassed about this STUFF too. It is better for you to ask her questions now, because it will make it easier to ask her more difficult questions in the future.

A resent survey conducted by MyFirstBra.us showed that 55.9% of girls have never talked to their parents about puberty. Another survey conducted by MyFirstBra.us showed that 51.9% of girls say that their friend give the best advice. This is because most girls never talk to their parents about these issues.

When talking to parents, remember that adults often are very busy, are at least fell that way. The first thing you should do is to make sure that the timing is right, then tell them that you need to talk with them when they have a few minutes free. Let them know that it is important, and private. This will usually get their attention.

Most parents will take time for issues like this, but they need to know that you’re not just asking a standard question, but that you are asking something that is important, and personal. Although some parents are nervous about these issues, they do want to take part in helping you with important issues like puberty.
