Shes lovely and I always felt I was close to her but.. well things like I started my period last september and STILL cant face up to telling her. I dont know why! Its normal and everything but I cope fine by myself and I would rather she didnt know. Also I have been in a relationship with my boyfriend for 8 months now and she doesnt have a clue. Sure she knows who he is but thats about it. I just feel embarressed talking about that sort of thing. I really cant face up to it. And im usualy quite brave. I go to other peoples houses and I see them and their mums and they are so close and its nice. But I never talk to my mum about anything like that! I just dont know how to tell her anything. Especially the period thing. I always thought we were close and I know she thinks we are too. Is there anything I can do to help it? Is it just me? I like dealing with things on my own.

I think its pretty normal, you are learning to become self-reliant and independent, you don't want to depend on your mom for everything anymore, you want to show her you can do things on your own. I think most people get nervous talking to their parents about certain things anyways, especially when it comes to growing up or sex. Your mom probably knows about the period thing w/out you telling her unless you don't throw the pads/tampons whatever in the home trash, which I can't imagine. She may even get you are dating a boy, parents aren't totally daft. Unless your mom is out chasing butterflies in the garden all the time, she probably knows a good deal more about you than you think, sometimes words don't even need to be exchanged, its this whole silent understanding thing. I am sure she's proud of you and rooting for you.
Anyways don't push it like the other person said. Remember though you're mom is a person she's been where you have been, she loves you, and though parents interfere too much at times they usually are the ones that accept you unconditionally.

Maybe you dont tell her because you're mature enough to handle situations on your own.
There are some things a daughter wouldnt want to share with her mother.
It just sounds like you're a very independant person thats all, its nothing to worry about. Its better to be this way than to depend on people heavily.
If you wish to talk about things, just let them come naturally in conversation. If she asks you about your day, mention your boyfriend etc.
