ADVICE | DEAR CAROL

Period panic! What if I get it at school?


 
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.

what do i say to the nurse, and how do i tell my mom i got it? thanks Smile

 

Hey sweets! No worries! I'm sure your mom knew it was coming! Just pull her aside and let her know. She'll understand your situation and be super helpful! When you go to the nurse just say that you got your period but it's your first time so you don't have anything to use and then if you are struggling with either a tampon or pad ask her how to do it. She deals with situations like these on a day to day basis and is ready to help you! xoxo

hi, i think i just got my first period, and idk what to do, because i just came home for lunch (from school)and i found this red-ish brownish stain in my undies. None if my friends have pads, and i have to go back to school soon, so i cant run to the store and get some. What do i do? thanks (:

 

Hey girl! Try going to the nurse at school! She should definitely have something and will be able to answer any of your questions! If you don't have tampons or pads put a little bit of toilet paper in there for now but make sure to talk to an older girl (mom, friend, grandma, nurse, etc.) and have her help you! Don't worry you'll be fine! and congrats! You're getting older! xoxo

Last night, I got a total of ZERO hours of sleep. I've had insomnia for about a month now and it seems to just be getting worse. I've already been to the doctor twice with barely any feedback. I've tried EVERYTHING! I feel so sore and I have no energy right now but my mind just can't shut down. Whenever I try to sleep, my heart starts beating faster and I just can't. I'm supposed to go to dinner tonight with my friends. Should I skip it since I am feeling this way? I really want to go!! The doctor said maybe I should see a psychologist. Should I? I need advice!

 

Hey girlie!  If your doc thinks you should see a psychologist, he or she probably thinks it'll help, so talk about it with your 'rents.  If it helps you sleep, then it's worth it, right?  Go hang out with your friends- feeling tired at home isn't going to make you feel better.  Try and get a little nap in (half an hour or so) before you see them, it might help you feel better.  I hope you feel better soon, sweetie! xoxo

Hey chica! I wouldn't worry about it. Just focus on soccer and school. I got my first period the first week in eighth grade! I went to the bathroom while we were changing for gym class. Unfortunately for me, it was the beginning of the school year, and I hadn't put any protection in my locker yet. I had to go to the gym teacher(it was a female, thank goodness). So, just have protection everywhere you go, and since it will be your first time, it shouldn't be that heavy. Hope I helped!
