Article: Regardless of whether your mom is present in your life, your dad almost certainly has an understanding of periods.  It's possible that he learned about it in school. He might have some knowledge about it from women in his life, like his mom, sisters, aunts, and so forth. Some people communicate better in writing than in speaking, so use that to your advantage. Come up with an outline of what you want to tell him.  “Dad, you should know that I started my period.” “There's been a change in my life lately, and it's that I got my period.” “I felt uncomfortable telling you in person, and this feels easier to me.” “I was afraid it would get too awkward if I told you in person.” “I need feminine products, so can we go to the store?” “Can you give me money to buy pads?” “I need a pain reliever for the cramps I've got.” This could make talking about your period less uncomfortable and make it funnier.  “Aunt Flow” “Monthly visitor” “Red wave/red sea” “Crimson wave” He wants  to be able to help you, and he wants what is best for you.  “Thanks for understanding and supporting me, Dad.” “I appreciate that I could find a way to tell you about this.” “Dad, thank you for always being there for me.” You do not need to write him a long letter all about how you got your period. Keep it short and to the point, and use an appropriately-sized sheet of paper or card to do this. You want to make sure you tell him what is going on and what you need from him, which you planned in Step 2.  Use clear, legible handwriting so that your father can read your note. Start the note with a greeting such as “Dear Dad” or “Hi Dad.” End your note with a closing such as, “Love, Susie” or “Thank you, Morgan.” If you chose a small notecard for your note, it probably has an envelope. Otherwise, you can fold up your paper and slide it into a mailing envelope.  You can seal the envelope by licking it yourself, or you can use an envelope moistener or a damp sponge. On the front of the envelope, address your dad by writing, “Dad,” “Daddy,” or “Father.” Consider rooms in the house your dad frequently visits or items he frequently uses, such as his briefcase or laptop bag.  Avoid leaving your note in a public place where someone else might pick it up. Leave your note where he will see it, such as on a counter near a gadget he often uses, inside his briefcase, or on his desk. If your dad does not approach you about the note, it is a good idea to ask him in a day or so if he read it. (Be sure to ask him in person). This way, you can know that he knows that you got your period and can help you get supplies. Be confident when you follow up with him. Ask him, “Did you get my note?” and let him know that you need to go to the store if that is the case.

Learn to stop seeking out things which make you lustful. This mainly means training yourself to fight the temptations of pornography but it can also mean not going to movies or avoiding driving on certain parts of the highways. This is difficult, but lustful habits are just like any other bad habit and can be broken. Be persistent! If you allow lust to be the driver in your daily relations with others, then you're not connecting fully with yourself. You are allowing your bodily desires to determine who you are and how you behave, rather than letting your mind and personality do some of the thinking. Similarly, you are not respecting them by viewing them in this lustful way. If you truly have feelings for them, you will work hard to fight these feelings and do right by them (and yourself!). Drugs and alcohol remove your inhibitions, making it harder for you to fight lustful feelings. If you partake in these, stop. It will really help a lot! You can still go out to bars with friends, just ask to drink any soft drink or apple juice instead (both look like alcohol, so you won't feel awkward). Most holy books acknowledge that sexual desire is normal, so don't feel bad about having sexual needs. Acknowledge them, because not doing so can create a very unhealthy mentality and make those feelings even stronger! Let yourself feel sexual feelings but do not act on them. There are lots of different kinds of lust and lots of different ways of looking at lust. Now, if your lust is causing or may cause someone else physical harm, then yes, it is a problem that needs to be dealt with. However, if your sexual feelings are released between two consenting adults, that may be okay. Sexual feelings are natural, and if your concern with them is only based in your religious teachings, it may be time to further explore other religious teachings. Different sects will take very different positions on the matter.
