I know I am getting old but please dont tell me i am the only one that got the book "Are you there God its me margaret?" Anyone???
Get the 2006 edition when I read it they were still using belted sanatary napkins!!! 
Are you there God its me Margaret
Nope... not the only one! I remember my mother coming home from the library with it for me.
Too funny!!! I got mine from my older sister.. Before I even got my period!!
I'm the oldest so I was the first to have to have that "talk" I also remember my mother explaining to me how to use a pad, since at that time the one's with the belts weren't really around much any more.

Oh yes.. The belts were not around for me either but my older older sister used the belt.. It was still in the book then..

Re: anyone with preteen girls in their lives, question
I loved Are you There God....
I wasn't mortified to tell my mom, but I was 14 and felt like the last person in the world (the world being my 8th grade class) to get it 
No gift, but I remember my mom hugged me and said she was proud of me

i would've been mortified if someone gave me a gift! i remember my aunt saying something to me about 'finally being a woman' and i wanted to crawl into a hole.
i think when you're older you can deal with it a little better 
however, its really sweet of you to think of her like that!
ITA!!!!

Re: anyone with preteen girls in their lives, question
I agree with privacy and some girls being mortified, but there have to be 1 or 2 adults that the child can confide in, if we all "ignore it" what does that tell them ?? to be ashamed, to act like it didnt happen ? 
she was very happy with the gifts I gave her and kept whispering to me about it, Im one of her "confidants" about it all, I think the "mortified" factor depends on who and the relationship with the child.
thanks again for a funny thread that this turned into, the slap story was great.

Re: anyone with preteen girls in their lives, question
When my daughter got hers she told me not to worry about it she knew what to do and oohh please mom don't tell anyone...
So i never told no one and everything worked out. She didn't get a gift..

ugh, my dad said something similiar and I had a similiar reaction 
My dad did too and I was mortified!!! My mother then gave me a book to read about what was happening to me and that was the end of any discussion.

Are you there God its me Margaret
I had that book!
"I must, I must, I must increase my bust."
Me too!! I was reading it when I was still pretty young. WHen she kept talking about getting her period, I thought she was trying to get into a class (you know- first period, second period).
Halfway through the book I asked my mom what a "period" was. She told me.
