Should I tell my friends that I started getting my period?

Some students like to make a big deal out of it by having a pizza party or by going for ice cream with friends and sharing the news. Be prepared for questions from friends. It may be a good idea to do this when you are feeling open to those personal questions. If you choose to keep it low-key, asking your friends to hang out with you after school or on a group chat over the weekend may be a great option. Let them know you are willing to answer questions they might have. Whatever you decide, let the experience bring your friendship closer together.
