I got mine when I was 14 1/2 so it doesn't follow the mothers footsteps for when they are likely to get it.
We have been talking about it frequently so when it actaully happens it wouldn't be so akward...I think that has worked. We also talk about boobs and appropriate clothing, pimples, hairly armpits, face care etc etc.
I have actually enjoyed having the little chats with her as it is stuff that is strickly "girls stuff" which I thinks she enjoys.
And Kels....we had fun going shopping for pads

and stuff. Im sure we will have lots of fun when we go out to celebrate also
