awww. i feel bad. i don't understand the pain you all go through during your periods because i'm regular. booooo.

Datte! You still know the pain of having one, and that is more than enough to join the complaint club. XD I'm just happy mine is over. Hormones are more than I can take! @_@

ohh man. this month, i really hate the fact that i'm regular. i get my period the first day i have standardized testing in school and i need to do good on these standardized tests to graduate.

or even pass high school.

and it sucks because i usually get cramps all day throughout my first day. i'm so not ready for next week.

[Time-Machine]

Aishiteru, that really stinks. I'm sorry. I wish I could help.

I rarely get cramps, and mine is pretty regular...so for the most part I have nothing to worry about. But whenever something knocks my period out of whack, I get cramps really bad. Like this month, it didn't come on time, I think because I was really sick, and so my body didn't have enough in it to get my period started. So then when I got better, it came, but I got really bad cramps, which I don't normally get.

And no matter what mine are always really long and really heavy. 5 days is a SHORT period for me. 7 is about average. I've had some last like 11 days ;_;

One good thing about it is that I get to eat more sweets during this time. ^^ (hugs chocolate)

[LSD]

dont do that!!! cuz your chances of have pimples ,, or even worst... acne are higher

[Hikari B.]

Hasn't happened to me yet... o_o I hate puberty... The body and everything!

[LSD]

but you will if you keep eating things with fat when you have periods !!!!
and drink water... for clean your body..lots of water, when you are in this moment.

and aww~ *hugs* dont worry.. you will get used to this

[Hikari B.]

Note to self: Lay off sweets... Farewell, chocolate... For now.

Note to self: Lay off sweets... Farewell, chocolate... For now.

You don't have to lay off of them entirely, just keep them to a minimum. Try not to overdo it, and in all honesty, if you are craving sugars, eat the natural kind; apples, berries, bananas, ect. They're healthy, sweet and they actually help take the pain away from the period. I won't say that your period will get better as you get older, but you'll learn to understand your body, and what it does when you get your period.

Hmm... I like strawberry. And I had some oranges. ^^

Well.. the only complaint I can mention in my life right now is thinking about college. Everytime I think about it, I feel stressed out. Mostly because of money issues. Plus I haven't learned to drive yet, but I was thinking of just getting a job close by. That way I could just walk there instead of driving. But anyway, then there is the part of getting to college. One of my friends that goes there has oftened to give me rides to school. Then usually afterward I would have to take the bus home. Not fun, but I have no other choice. The only reason why I haven't started college is.. money. It's expensive, there is no doubt about that. (Moezy-chan knows, or anyone here that even goes to college) I'm going to take three classes, even then it's going to be pricey.

So.. really, it's just one thing piles up after another. My other friend, who gets rides from the friend I mentioned before, has this idea like it's easy to get register for college. As though it's some piece of cake. She really annoys me, always saying that I should register and blah blah blah. Sheesh, she thinks I'll never get it done. She just doesn't understand and it angers me. I don't know to explain myself either because she'll find some way to be like " oh, well... you can just do this.. " or whatever. Gahh. ><

[moezychan]

^ Everything you said is true Genki_Girl-chan. It is VERY expensive, and I don't mean just the tuition. >.< And you do have reason to be stressed. It's not easy to get into college, and even if you get in and get a grant for tuition, the matter of books comes up. I payed almost $500 just this semester on books. I'm assuming your parents won't help you, and that makes it all the more difficult.

I might suggest a loan, which is how I can afford to go to college. Since you live in the states the rules that come with a loan are probably similar to what I have to abide by. If you choose to do this make sure that the loan is Subsidized, opposed to Unsubsidized.

If you get a subsidized loan, they'll fund you for the entire year. Each year you have to renew it. 6 months after you graduate you'll have to start making payments. Since that can be expensive you'll want to make sure that the loan is consolidated. As for getting an unsubsidized loan, you don't want to get that because you have to pay it while you're going to college. >.< This is what usually confuses new college students, and they end up dropping out.

I hope that I gave some help for you, and hopefully you'll be able to come to a good solution.

How can you make your stubburn mom be more understanding???

[Time-Machine]

How can you make your stubburn mom be more understanding???

If I knew the answer to that I wouldn't need...the ten thousand different escapes I have from my mother... But I can totally offer some support and empathy. Moms can be brutal.

[Møon Li]

That's right... I don't need a model mom, just to understand certain things with a more open mind...

You're not alone on that one. I never get a break with that one
Right now I'm on day 5 and I'm still heavy. Which blows because I've got a dance performance on the weekend and I can't wear a tampon

Because it burns like hell ...err...down there. Side effect of the medication I'm on. Blah.

so I'm going to be very uncomfortable on stage.
Fun. 

[Jeannette]

I can't wear tampons. My periods are too light, so I have to stick to pads. (If you wear a tampon and it doesn't get... er, moist enough, then the tampon can cause an infection. Or at least that's what I've been told, and it makes sense.) Which sucks, because pads are a lot more difficult to hide in your purse.

[Miss Jenni-Maie]

Yeah, I get paranoid about that, too. I only wear them when I know I'm heavy (which is like .. . always, haha!) and I'm going to be doing something that I'm going to need to move around alot, like my dancing, and the big obvious: swimming.
Besides that, I wear the bulky cruddy pads. Blah.

me likewise.

My sister only needs these little pantyliner things, and whenever I see them I'm like "that wouldn't last me five minutes" but tampons...I can feel them. You're not supposed to be able to very much, but I can and it's NOT comfortable. I only wear them when I swim, or do other similiar things where pads don't work.

Speaking of which, I'm almost out of pads. I need to make a trip to the store tomorrow or I'll run out before my period ends -.-#

[Hack]

dont do that!!! cuz your changes of have pimples ,, or even worst... acne are higher

i think acnes love me....it doesn't get away from me....(you should see my face..acnes are sooo attached to me-_-)
