No one feels like struttin' their stuff in 5 inch heels when they're battling their period! So give your bod a break by wearing comfy-only clothes!

flutestar on 8/26/2008 9:33:52 PM
OMG i cant believe we all have the same book!!!! I read it when i was like 10 to prepare for all this stuff but it's still helpful now. I totally recommend it! I love wearing sweats and just hanging out when its "that time of the month". Thankfully i dint get cramps too bad but i get all moody and cry for no reason! its embarrassing cuz my dad thinks i'm crazy and has no idea...
talk2thefro on 8/26/2008 1:25:14 AM
i read this one american girl book called the care and keeping of you, its all about how to deal with puberty and growing up and stuff, its really helpful!
sonali18976 on 8/24/2008 3:05:55 PM

oceanblue26 on 8/21/2008 3:53:30 PM
I always get cramps like 2 weeks before my period for like 1 day, and then the whole time during my period. Ughh! Its awful!
blondie_cutie_smartie on 8/21/2008 10:56:38 AM
Hey lucky charms i have that book too. And I really do recommed that a lot of girls get the book and read it slowly and gives you tips on being a healthy girl.And slowly tell you how to turn into a young women. And at the end of each and every lesson It has tips and other things.
StarGirlie on 8/19/2008 7:08:49 PM
i think i might have posted the same thing twice...oh well! more love!
frappuccinofreak on 8/18/2008 4:53:36 PM
i have that book too!! (great minds think alike!) i would soooo love to wear sweatpants and lounge during "those days" but i cant. like i know this sounds preppy and stuck up and stuff (im not i swear ) but im kind of like a "fashion person" at my school, and i dont even want to think about what would happen if i wore sweats...*horror*!! but wearing other clothes besides comfy ones actually helps me during my period because it takes my mind off the fact that i have my period that week. if i wear sweats it just reminds me more and makes me feel worse...but maybe thats just me! luv ya!
frappuccinofreak on 8/18/2008 4:52:51 PM
wen im on my period my mom still makes me clean the house and asks like nuthings rong. then i feel sick. i cant remebr the last time i really relaxd.
~Pussycat in Paris~ on 8/18/2008 3:08:53 PM

I got my first period on April 3 of this year, and this is the first time I've had it since. I always get really bad cramps at random times in the month, and sometimes a couple drops of brown-ish blood in the morning. When I got my period a couple days ago, I decided to try a tampon. I told my mom and she gave me some instructions. I used the smallest one available, but the muscles in my butt started hurting like crazy so I took it out. Then my whole vision went black and I got all dizzy so I quickly put my head down and barely saved myself from passing out. I used a pad that day. Anyway, my mom freaked out and took me to the doctor and they couldn't find anything wrong with me. Does that ever happen to anyone else? When I got my very first period, my mom started a tradition with me. I dressed up (head-to-toe Abercrombie, yay!), took a couple Advils (they're better because they're healthier than Aspirin and taste better than Aleve), and went shopping with my mom. It was a rare treat, but loads of fun. I have to admit, a day of lying on the couch in sweats and a t-shirt sounds good, too.
luckytwelve on 8/17/2008 5:44:54 PM
lucky charms, do you mean "care and keeping for you"?
sparky4me on 8/17/2008 5:19:51 PM

hollisterxoxoxo on 8/17/2008 1:44:38 PM
I have like, a million books about this stuff (I went through a weird phase of fascination with this stuff), and The Care and Keeping of You is among the most helpful! The GL Guide to Growing Up is pretty helpful too. I don't really get cramps that often, but some of my friends do. I figured out that if you just kinda bend over and shake shake shake shake shake every part of your body, it helps. My friends tried it, and it made the ones on their periods feel a lot better (it doesn't last very long, but it helps for a little), and then we made a game of just dancing and shaking our bodies until we all felt fantastic! Lol. It's really fun. (Maybe it only helps cuz it gets your mind off of the pain....)
book_junkie on 8/16/2008 9:57:34 PM
Hey !clo_cho!, I don't get cramps either. I think we're just lucky.
