Answers:
u will know when ur first period is coming when u feel cramping, bloating, very emotional and you may have spotting!. and there is nothing wrong with u if u havent got them yet, u may be lucky and not get them until ur 16!.
its not necessary to wear liners all the time, its really just a waste if there is nothing there!.
u change a pad every 1-2 hours, depending on ur rate of discharge and how absorbent ur pads r!.
if u wear a pad then yes u will feel the bleeding, it doesnt hurt it just feels like a trickling feeling!.
there may or may not be blood on ur first one, it all depends, the one way u can know is if u ask ur mum about her first time and experiences, it will help u understand and be prepared for ur own
the pains can become unbearable, and yes it can cause u to throw up or miss a day of school, but its recommended that if they interrupt ur daily life in any way what so ever then u must see a doctor because there could be a medical problem (sorry i dont mean 2 scare u)
it will affect ur life in the summer when u want 2 swim if u wear pads, u cant go in the water with pads but if u wear a tampon then u can swim!.
other than that, it wont affect it much, just regular trips to the bathroom, remember good hygiene during this time, take pain killers if u need them, it will take u a while to get used to it all, and for the first 2 years or so u will probably be irregular and keeping track of it may be hard!.
u really should talk 2 ur mum about this, or a friend who already has hers, or an older sister if u have one or a cousin or an aunt or any other female u can trust with this!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you don't get your period by 16, then maybe you should see a doctor!.
You might have cramps, but if not, just be ready!. You don't have to wear pantyliners all the time, but carry them with you just in case!.
Yes, it is normal to have discharge!. I actually had it right before my first period, so it could be a sign!.
You change a pad every few hours!. It depends on how heavy your period is!. Yes, you have to wear a pad for the whole time you have it!.
No, you probably won't feel the bleeding!.
Yes, there will be blood!.
In some cases, the cramps can be unbearable!. If it's that bad then you can be put on birth control pills!. Cramps suck, and some girls throw up!. But it's unlikely that you will get that sick from it!. I've stayed home from school a couple of times due to my period, but you feel better with Midol or Motrin and a heating pad!.
It will affect your daily life because you will have to wear a pad!. Also, it can cause mood swings and stuff like that!. You will still be able to play sports!. If you want to use a tampon then you can still go swimming!.

Don't worry! Everything will be fine!. It's not that bad, I promise!. Hope I helped!. =]Www@Answer-Health@Com

oh darling, you sound like you are really stressing about it!. that actually could be causing the tardiness, but really dont worry!. every young girl's body is different!. i can tell you only from experience that i got no warning signs that mine was coming, no cramps or anything!. BUT!.!.!.!. when it finally did come it didnt make a huge mess!. if you are in tune with your body, you will feel kinda like you are about to pee or leak!.!.!.!. but then if you go to the bathroom then you should see it on the toilet paper before it hits your panties!. just dont take any feeling down there lightly or you could end up with a mess!. it would be silly to wear a pad everyday if nothing was happening though!. But DEFINATELY make sure you always have one with you, in your backpack, purse or whatever!. during your period, yes it is smart to wear a pad everyday!. some girls have a really light period and can just wear a tampon, but if you dont want to worry about it as often, especially in school and stuff you should wear a pad even if your wearing a tampon!. (which by the way, if you are not sexually active, tampons kinda hurt when you first start using them and can cause toxic shock syndrome in young girls) your first period may be really light or short or quite the oposite!. the first morning of my first period, i stood up and it looked like a waterballoon fell out of me!. sorry if thats too grafic, but it was a huge supprise!. some girls get cramps sooo bad that they cant go to school or can feel nautious, but i think thats kinda rare, unless your a sissy!. advil or midal has always helped!. OH!.!.!.!. and about the whitey brown crusty stuff!.!.!.!. i had that too!.!.!.!.!. i really dont know what that is, but it has stopped and ive been to a docter and im totally healthy!. i hope this helps!.!.!.!. just relax!.!.!.!.!. it kinda sux that as girls we have to deal with it, but its really not that bad!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Different girls get their periods at different times!. Getting it at 14 or 15 is still normal!. There aren't any signs that your first period is coming except mabye mild cramps!. The first period is usually light!. You can carry around a pad in your purse if it makes you feel better!. Having your period does not make you throw up but can make you have "cramps" which can be mild to fairly painful(but managable) lower stomach pain that can last anywhere from 1 to 4 days in my experience!. Please stop worrying about it so much, there is really no need to worry!. And, please talk to your mom about it, even if it does embaress you, she will understand, and you will be relieved to get some answers!. Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
