What girls really think about getting - or not getting - their periods.
Haven't gotten their periods yet:
"When I get it, my life will change big time! Because I'll be like my friends, and I won't be left out." -Noelle, 11
"I sort of want it and sort of don't. I'm worried about what it's like when you get it." -Meaghan, 12
"I'm confused about my feelings. I mean, one day I feel in such a hurry to get it that it's all I can think about. The next day, dread the day it comes!" -Jean, 11
"I don't have it and I don't want it! I just think it'll be weird. I don't think I'm ready to be a woman, no matter how much my body wants me to be one." -Molly, 12
Have gotten their periods:
"I got my period when I just turned 10, and it scared me to death! But, after two years I'm used to it, and it's routine now." -Melanie, 12
"For all the girls out there who are worried about getting their periods, don't! It's nothing to be worried about, as I just found out." -Lora, 12
"I was soooo sad when I first got my period. I was crying and everything, thinking about how I wasn't a little girl anymore." -Lee, 14
"I thought it was going to be WAY annoying, but I found it really nice to be called a 'woman'!" -Lindzie, 13
