Killing yourself? Because of your period? Not only is this absurd overkill (that's a bad pun) but it's a good example of considering a permanent solution for a temporary problem. If you are thinking of killing yourself for ANY reason, whether it's your period, a boy, or having a bad day at school, you need to seek professional help. You need to develop healthier coping skills and discover why things like this can cause you such profound emotional distress. THAT is a much bigger problem than a little temporary odor. Life is stinky enough without hating yourself for it! Now, go get some good (great!) counseling and learn to enjoy the bumps and grinds of growing up. I know, yuk!

Douches are also a no no as they wash away all the good bacteria so the bad ones can take over. It just may be that you have too many bad bacteria present and they can cause all sorts of problems, one of which is a bad odor, or itching, vaginitis or yeast infections.
There's a possibility that some of the scented stuff you used in the past got into the urethra which is close to the vagina and you may have a urinary tract infection, or whatever may cause you to not be able to hold your bladder and little drops leak out and so you smell it. Fresh pee doesnt smell strongly tho. The closest I personally would describe it to is like a roasted corn scent but not exactly. If pee has been sitting around and exposed to air, outside the body for quite some time, it does what you generally smell with soiled cloth baby diapers, it will have a strong ammonia scent.
It would be best for a Dr to see you to rule out any infections. Not all people react the same way to infections. So if your own Dr. isn't available or Mom won't take you, I would suggest a Planned parenthood clinic as they can help with any medical concerns regarding the reproductive organs and teens as young as 14 have been able to go there. Or maybe there is a free womens clinic in your area.
You mentioned a first period. I am assuming this all started right after 1st period. Just wondering how long you've been getting periods cus if you are just beginning and your first year, your body is still getting used to the idea of hormones and won't always have a regular period. Sometimes you can get 2 shorter ones in a month or a really long one or none at all for 2 months or it can be delayed and when delayed, a brownish discharge will come out until it finally turns to red and the normal flow comes. I can't say whether this is normal and due to your age, which I dont know. But like I said, you really need to see a Dr. If Mom will not take you, talk to an Aunt and Grandma to talk to your Mom. IT is important to find out if there is an actuall problem that can be fixed with a medicine or it this is normal for you. [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]
