I haven't had my period yet and I'm 13 and 14 next month. All my friends have had theirs already and I'm scared it's gonna happen at a really bad time. My dad gave me "the talk" about getting my period and growing up (he also gave me the sex talk which was way embarrassing) and he said that mom and I should go to the store to buy some pads so I have them when it happens. But my mom said not to worry about it. I'm really freaked out about having my period at a sleepover or at softball practice. My friend had hers for the first time in her sleep a few months ago. She said that she woke up and went to change for school and she thought that she had pooped her pants in the night. So she put it in the laundry room to be washed. She said that her mom didn't freak out or anything, she just gave her a pad. I don't feel comfortable talking to my mom or dad about this kind of thing and I don't know why. I'm super close with my parents but I don't know how I would tell them when it happens. Help!!

Hey there girly girl! You could always wear one and bring a change of clothes in case you feel awkward. Truth be told though, it's Halloween! I'd wear one!

MOD! MOD! MOD! MOD!

Hey girl, I'm not a med expert, so I can't say for sure! I would consider talking with a parent or guardian, and checking in with your doc.

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD! Hey on like Monday or tuesday i ate nonstop and gained like 3 lbs in food and I had a really bad stomach ache but the nurse couldn't do anything so she sent me back 2 class so on like Wed. or Thurs. I went back 2 the nurse to drop off a kid's backpack and she asked if i was ok and I said ya but my back hurted so she asked me if I had my period yet and I said no but my mom had hers at 11 and I just turned 11...then on Friday i went 2 the nurse again and told her i had a stomach ache and she said tough it out and then i had gymnastics practice afterward @ 4:00 pm and on beam I had to do back-walkovers on the high beam(a back walk over is like a bridge kick-over) and my back was killing me so the coach told me to go home so i did and took some advil (2 pills) and i kept doing that till today and my tummy and back still hurt!!!! Is this my period??? Sorry this is so long!! thx tho!!!

Hey girl, I'm sorry you're not feeling well! I'm not exactly sure what the cause is. If it's been a few days, I would make sure you are keeping a parent/guardian updated, and consider making an appointment with your doc.

I am 11 and I do not know when I am going to get my period. I am very scared because I don't want to tell my mom when I have one and I don't want to tell her I need PADS.

Mod!
I hope you reply soon (:
I have this BIG HUGE fear of talking about discharges and bras. I want a bra but im scared to tell my mom im ready to wear a bra. How to bring it up without it being out of know where? I no i shouldn't be scared about my body, but i am

I wish i could ask her without chicking out! Help please

Hey girlie, There's nothing to be scared of! Your mom knows you're growing up, so I promise she will not be surprised if you ask her about it! I think the best way to bring it up is to just say it.

MOD MOD MOD! As embarrassing as it is, I have a bad sweating problem and I don't know how to get rid of it! I've tried so many different deodorants and none of them have been working. I wear so much black so that no one can see sweat stains since they're so embarrassing and everyone thinks I'm goth or something and I really wanna get rid of this problem so that I can wear what I wanna wear asap.

I also have a sweating problem. I would sweat a lot and get stains. In the end it doesnt really matter, cuz other people sweat too. One thing that seems to help is drinking a lot of water. Good luck hon. Also my favorite deodorant is secret clinical strength cuz it makes everything smell amazing when youre sweating which makes you feel great. xoxo kerra
