Sometimes my advice is good advice, and sometimes it's just an opinion. Sometimes people don't take good advice (ironically.) If everybody would just talk to each other, we'd have world peace, so you probably won't see "just talk to them" in my column.
I worked as a Registered Nurse for a few years so I know a little about health.
I think and read about spiritual things. I answer spiritual questions without trying to convert anyone to my own beliefs. I'm a non-denominational Christian, but I believe everyone has a path to follow, and God is patient, so I answer spiritual questions from where you are.

Hey Advice columnist i was wondering if you coud help me with a problem I have.
Okay I'm a 14 year old gurl and have had my period sence I was 12, But I have always used pads. What my question is, there really as many risks to using tampons than just pads? my mother keeps saying that they'er awful and that they can get stuck. I have done my home work and know that they'er is very slim chance of getting TSS. But what I want to know is do they really get stuck? I don't believe that they do but I'm asking this for a reason to make sure.
I'm jsut so tired when i have my period that im wet. EWWW!!! and summer will come and I can't go to pool parties with my period unless Im wearing a tampon.

No, they don't get stuck. They may be hard to pull out if they are dry, but not stuck. You can even tuck the string inside if it irritates you, but then to get the tampon out you have to kind of reach for it. If you are small or not used to tampons, it may be strange or uncomfortable, but they don't get stuck. Tampons are close to the same length as you are, so even if they move upward, they are still in reach.
As far as being active, they are easier to wear than pads when you are running, swimming, etc. They only time they may be a problem is if your period is exceptionally heavy. They get soaked and may move down and leak. If that happens, wear a pad too.
