I'm 11 and my mom and I aren't close we haven't talked about bras or anything and I want to know ways to ask please help! Please anyone!

I'm asking for my first sports bra or anything sorry I didn't mention that

Write her a note.

Write her a note.
Well, I was thinking of texting her cause If I write a note my dad or brother might see it awkward but still if I text her I won't know what to say

You don't know what to say? Why not just copy down the basics of what you wrote here in your question.

Mom, I need a bra. A sports bra would be cool!

Well, I didn't really think of that. Now I know what I'm going to say I just need the courage to text her or even ask I really hate this. Thank you for your help

She doesn't wear one or know what it is?

She does we just don't talk about bras and periods and stuff like that so its kind of hard for me and I would ask my sister but she is moved out so I have no one to talk to so you

Well, you have brought this to the attention of millions of people who read this site, so texting your mother shouldn't be very difficult after posting here.

I hereby give you permission and a basket full of courage. Now, text her and let us know what happens!

Thank you lots! I will try

Please report back. Text her today!!

Thanks a bunch I'll try it

No, no, no. Not TRY -- DO!!

I just texted

She said yes! Thank you thank you!

See how easy that was?? You're welcome.

Say to her something like your pe top sometimes goes a little bit seethrough in different lighting and its embarasing and then say can I just get a sports bra... or you could get one yourself? :)

Please read the thread. Her mother already said yes.

ya my mom said yes sorry I had to make a new profile anyways thanks again
You'll name your firstborn child after me in appreciation? :D

That's really awkward X_X

Why was your mom happy?

See!! We moms are human too!

haha ya thanks for encouraging me!


Haha - am I the only person who realized this is ONE person with TWO user names?

And not smart enough to keep them separate?

Next thing we know she'll be posting in one and answering herself with the other.

ya my mom said yes sorry I had to make a new profile anyways thanks again


What does a new profile have to do with asking your mother if you can wear a bra?

no I had to make a new one because it won't let me log in please don't be rude


And you asked for help and no one was available? I'd drop one of the user names.

no I had to make a new one because it won't let me log in please don't be rude


I don't feel like arguing with an 11 year old. Again - this is not a chat board.

Stop criticizing how people use a site you clearly don't know how to navigate.

my two usernames were Shortymylove and this one k


That's two user names. I figured it out some time ago, remember.

Stick to one.

my two usernames were Shortymylove and this one k

And you've now been banned.

Did you read the rules when you joined? The rules aren't a suggestion, and not reading them isn't an excuse to go against them.

We don't allow multiple usernames on this site. If you had an issue logging in with your username, there are ways to correct that. Creating another username isn't one of those ways.

Live and learn.

Im 11 to I'm almost 12 I know it's awkward I didn't used to be close with my mom either but just text her and say I feel a little weird saying this but... and what ever you need to say. Hope this helps(:

I am not understanding you, do you just want ideas of how to talk to your mom about bras?

Or is there ssomething else you want to talk to her about.

If it's just bras, I don't think there are any special ways you should go about it, tell her that you feel it might be the right time for you to start wearing a bra and see what she says.

I don't think you're reading the threads before answering - you did read that the person who asked had a back and forth with Wondergirl (who is a Wonder!) and the person posted, "she said yes! Thank you thank you!"

If you read before you post your answers are far more valuable.
