Period panic! What if I get it at school?


 

Check these out, too...

  • I need longer pads! How do I tell Mom?
  • 5 last-minute ways to lift your grades
  • What stinks down south?
  • YOLO or "Oh, no"? When taking a risk is the right thing to do
  • How not to pull an all-nighter (and stay sane if you have to)
I haven't gotten my period yet, and I'm afraid I'll get it for the first time at soccer practice or school or somewhere. Help me!

 

Dear Worried,

Every woman in the world made it through her first time, and you can be sure that you will, too. Your anxiety is natural, so why not carry a sanitary pad in a zippered pocket in your backpack or gym bag? That way, if it starts, you'll be prepared. If it happens at practice, confide in an older teammate or coach. If it happens at school, ask your teacher or nurse for advice (or to get necessary supplies). Either way, you'll manage just fine, and you can congratulate yourself for becoming a young woman.

My face always turns beet red! Even when I'm not embarrassed! It turns red when someone looks at me, brings attention to me, if I'm talking, or standing beside a cute guy. It really brings down my self esteem(which is already low) & sometimes forces me to not be social. &when people notice it&point it out it gets worse. I've tried everything from breathing exercises to placing my hands or water bottle on my cheeks. Please help! i need advice on how to make it stop going red all the time! Smile

 

Hey girl! Check out the last part in this article: http://www.girlslife.com/post/2010/08/17/i-want-more-confidence.aspx ! Hopefully that will help! Also one of my best friend's faces gets red all the time, but she's learned to make a joke out of it. She just laughs it off and is like whoops i can't help it! Maybe if you try talking about it with your friends and just lightly joking about it you'll feel better! And guess what?!? I bet no one notices it as much as you do, so if you act like nothings wrong I'm sure no one else will even notice! xoxo

What can i do about cramps, cause now i have them, and I want them gone before i go back to school (1:15)because i have gym. help?

 

Hey chica! Ask your mom or the nurse if you can take some ibuprofen! That should help get rid of the cramps in no time! Also if you have time to take a shower or bath they both help a lot! Hope you feel better! xoxo
