I need some period help?

I would like some more information on periods. I went to BeingGirl.com, and I am kind of nervous. I have been getting white stuff in my undies for a while (I think it's been like since last summer) and I am not sure if I am going to have my period yet. Also, so you think this will be a good way to tell my mom (like text it or leave a note?): "Hey, mom, I was on a girl's website and I read about girls having periods, and I read about the things that happen to you, and I got the symptoms and I am going to use pads. Please write back and keep this a secret. Thanks" I am kind of afraid that she might think I was learning about things she didn't want me to know about yet online and get her all worried. Is there any tylenol or medicine without side affects that will help? and what pads are best? THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

1. You should feel comfortable with asking your mom questions about your period face to face. She shouldn't be mad about you learning about periods- you are informing yourself. Your first period may be excruciatingly painful, that's what happened to me. But just think every girl has gone through this, and it only lasts a few days of the month. Ibuprofen works OK, but I hear Midol is the best. Any pads are good except the no-name ones.
