Period starting soon!?!

This is gonna be a long answer so just PLEASE just read it all! Hahaha...

Sounds like you'll get your period very soon! If you mom got her period in 8th grade you probably will too. Do you have an older sister who has already had her period? If so ask her when she got hers. My mom and older sister both got theirs at 13 and so did I! Since you are almost in 8th grade and your period may even come earlier then your mom's you should probably buy some pads and keep them in your underwear drawer.

If someone ever tells you that you have to be at least 100 pounds to get your first period I just want to let you know that is UNTRUE. I was barely over 80 pounds when I got my first period! So don't try to gain weight! It's very unhealthy.

If you've had discharge for only 3-4 months you might have to wait a few more months before you get your period. Most girls get their first period 6-18 months after they start getting discharge. I had discharge for about 6 months before I got my first period.

Try to stay calm and enjoy your days being period-free! Lol! If you stress too much it can delay your period and I don't think you want that! Hahaha!..

Your first period is probably going to come when you least expect it. Some girls keep checking for their period for DAYS and when they finally give up BOOM they get their period. Hahaha. That's kind of how it was for me.

When you do get your period put on a pad (don't worry if you don't get anymore blood. Your first period is usually light.) and tell your mommy! Also the first few years of your period life are gonna be irregular. So don't worry if you skip a month or two! And don't use a tampon for your first period! Start using tampons when your period is longer and is more regular.

I am sorry for this long answer! I hope I helped! Good luck!! :D <3

experience.

Periods aren't as scary as you think, they aren't bad at all, there will be times when you thank god that you got it!
I can imagine you will be starting soon; I had these symptoms before I began my period and I started when your mum did also! It is also well known that people do start around about the same time as their mother did.
Best thing to do is always be prepared for it, carry sanitary towels or tampons wherever you go, just in case.

It doesn't matter when your mom got hers, but you mostly don't it around the same time as her. My mom was 16, almost 17 while I got mine when I JUST turned 13.

It comes when it comes. All the signs you have don't mean much, it's just when your body is ready.

Well you probably will get it soon. I was pretty worried about when I got it, but the first time, it generally isn't too heavy and it won't go through your pants or whatever. Just don't worry about it as much. It'll come soon. Good luck :)

you will probably start your period soon

Your going to get it soon! My mom got hers around the same time your mom got hers. I got mine in 6th grade.
