~*Annie*~'s advice column

I've had my period for almost 10 months now and it still doesn't come on the same days or "schedule" or whatever. I don't know when I am going to get it, because it's such a bad frequency. I don't want to leak in school, and I'm always scared that I did leak, and I didn't notice, and like people are laughing behind my back. I just don't know what to do. I don't wear pads either so..please help?

Okay, there's nothing to worry about. Periods can take a long time to form a schedule, sometimes up to about a year! Ask your doctor about when [s]he thinks you are going to get it. Gather clues too: You feel really moody lately, you have terrible cramps in your lower back, upper thighs, and lower abdomens. You just might be expecting it any day now. I'm guessing if you don't wear pads, you either wear tampons or (gasp) nothing. Tell your mom that you got your period and that you want to buy pads (only if you want to; they are easier than tampons.) and if you don't want pads, you can wear tampons along with a panty liner (lighter version of a pad) incase the tampon leaks. You can wear just a panty liner incase you might be expecting your period any day. Keep track of when your period starts and ends, maybe with a calendar (you can mark a single red dot inconspicuously if you don't want other people to see). Maybe -just maybe- you can see some sort of pattern. As for the transportation part, wear cargo pants (match with a cute top and/or belt if you want to look fashionable) or pants with pockets. If you wear a uniform that includes a skirt, wear shorter shorts underneath that have pockets, and put your pads/tampons/panty liners in there. And don't worry about what other people think -- just be confident!
