Answers:
it's okay to be scared about it but honestly it's not that bad!. When I first started my period I had virtually no cramps or anything!. I do get pretty bad cramps on the first day now though, but sleeping on a hot pad and ibuprofen takes care of that!. It's nothing to worry about!. Keep a pad or tampon with you just incase!. Also if you do have bad pains excersising helps better than anything!. So try a sport!.

Don't worry about starting at school!. you've got girlfriends there that will watch out for you!. Once I wore white (almost see through :D) pants to school and guess who came for a surprise visit! My sister let me know, I wrapped a sweater around my waist and told the teacher I had a female emergency to take care of and left!.

It'll work out fine!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Just because your mom and your friend have painful periods doesn't mean you will!. You might want to talk to your mom about getting you some midol or ibuprofen to take to school once you start your period if it is painful!. You should also carry a pad or two in your bookbag, locker, or purse once you start school again just in case you start, that way you just go grab it and go to the bathroom!. You might want to talk to your mom about how to use a pad if you don't already know or read the directions that come with it!. Periods aren't really bad and you shouldn't worry about it!. You just need to be prepared for it to start and if that means carrying a pad with you everywhere then you have to do it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I was 14 when I started my period, so I've been there!.
Periods are different for every girl, so yours can be painful or not!. I personally have extremely painful periods but you can do things to keep the pain under control!.
It seems scary now, but as soon as you get the routine down you'll realize it's just something you have to get over and deal with!.

Just relax and enjoy the time you have without it; trust me!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

To be honest i was just as scared as you are if not more!.!.!. just be sure to carry a pad with you at all times!.!. When you first get it, its not a lot, so if you dont have anything, you can use toilet paper until you get home!. !.!.There is nothing to worry about! If you get it at school, and you dont have anything, you can go to the nurse and get a pad!. A lot of my friends say it is so bad, which made me nervous, but to tell you the truth it is not bad! :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Don't worry about a thing!. I'm 14 and started on my 13th birthday!. I was with my mom!. We just went to the store and got some panty liners!. They don't last that long but can be painful!. Not for very long though!. And you can get rid of the cramps by resting and eating a lot!. And exercising!. It really helps!. I learned that there is nothing to be embarrassed about!. It is literally what makes the human world go around!. Prepare yourself but don't be too depressed when it happens!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You shouldn't worry so much! :)

I'm 13 too, and I got my first period a few months ago!. If you think you might get your period soon, slip a pad in your backpack!. If it does start while you're in school, just go into the bathroom and either use some toilet paper as a temporary pad, or get the one from your backpack during passing time!. How bad the cramps are varies; some of my friends don't get any cramps at all! But if you do get cramps, just take some Ibuprofen, it really does help!. Good luck! :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

dont panic!
i got mine at school!.
my back was really sore and i started to get cramps, and i didnt notice till i got home, but it didnt seep through enough for anyone to notice!.
if you get really scared, wear a pantyliner everyday or go to the bathroom a lot to check if anythings there!.
carry tampons and pads!
and periods aren't that bad!. if you have ibuprofen pills and tylenol you forget they're even there!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Period pain varies for different women, I don't suffer from bad cramps, thankfully, but my mates do, they're practically bed-ridden for like 5 days!. But like a tablet or a lie down with a hot water bottle can do wonders!.

Psah!. It's nothing to worry about!. It's not great, its not bad!. I started at school, right before P!.E [lucky or what(!)], just go to the school nurse and ask for a pad, or do what I did and just stuff it tissue down there and wait until you get home!.!.!.^^;Www@Answer-Health@Com

don't worry just always keep a pad in ur purse/backpack even if u do start at skool its not going to be a like a bomb and just all leak out at once and be dark red!. ususally when girls start their period it is so light, because when i got my period it was like light brown and very little, so even if u feel like ur getting ur period during skool then just go check urself and dont be worried about getting ur period!. usually the only reason it hurts is because of cramps and u can take a pain reliever for that!. so dont worry cuz when i used to get worried about getting my period when i was out and about and i didnt have any extra pads/tampons i never got it becuz i was worrying [it wierd i know] but its like something with peoples bodies that if u do worry u wont get!. and then the second i stopped worrying i got it {amazing} so relax its not scary to get ur period its the "pleasure" of what comes with womanhood ^_^


and also too about the pain, if u eat lots of junk food before or during ur period then u will SURELY get cramps, now i know all girls are different so it might not be the same thing for you but i experimented with that and i always got cramps during my period but when i didnt eat junk food I DIDNT GET CRAMPS!! which was wonderful for me lol

and another thing DONT BE SCARED!! im 13 and got my period when i was 12 and nothing bad happened during those years of periods lol [thank god!!]Www@Answer-Health@Com

don't be scared of starting your periods i started when i was 10 years old and i was at school if it does start at school I'm sure the teachers there will help you and most probably call your parents as for the pains you can get pain killers to helpWww@Answer-Health@Com
