You can't talk to your mom about this? I mean, it's okay to come here to talk and for support, but if you really think you have a problem, you should see a dr.

Look, I was diagnosed when I finally told my mom and she got me care. I hadn't had my period for over a year, and then I got it and it lasted 6 weeks. It took a lot of courage, but I finally told my mom and she got me in to see a dr and I got diagnosed.

Trust me, it's better to learn now and start working on treatment than to put it off and wait. If you talk to your mom and you see a dr, you might be able to get help for the hairiness.

Be strong!

I never told my Mum I wasn't getting periods. I denied there was something wrong with me until I did some research on the internet and realised for sure I had a medical condition. I know now that if I had talked to my Mum, I probably would hav had treatment earlier and probably prevented or at least reduced my facial hair. Please talk to her, or if you can't, make an appointment to see a doctor yourself. You may not even have the condition, so best to find out

Good luck

Oh sweetie. You really need to tell your mom or an adult you can trust. You need to get medical now and it will not be so bad for you. My daughter is 7 and she is also hairy. I am going to talk to my GYN tomorrow about it. Are you scared of going to the GYN? If so that is ok. I think we all are scared of that. It will be ok. You really need to tell your mom.

Keep us posted.
