P. E


Question Posted Saturday January 21 2006, 12:51 pm

ok i am doing P.E this term and in 3 weeks i have to go swimmin. even when i am on my period. thing is i know that if i wear a tampon it wouldnt matter right? but see my problem is that my mom wont let me. she told me because it will make my cherry pop and it isnt supposed to pop until i am merried.(or so she says) but if i dont dress out and put an effort into swimmin then my grade will go done everyday by a letter grade. so basically (since we got 3 wekks of p.e) it can be possible that get an F and fail P.E completely.. and another thign at my school is that the guys swim wit the girls. there isnt a speration thing.. someone help me.. i dont about sneakin them bc i dont know hoa to use them..

p.s.
15/f

Just use the smallest tampon... O.B. small or something like that and your cherry will remain safe! That's if nothing of the above adviced don't work out!

You can't have your period when you're in the water. The blood will not come out. Just in case, though, see if you can get a bathing suit with shorts attached.

If your mom honestly expects you to wait to have sex until you are married, she is kind of naive anyway.

honestly, i wouldn't make it a huge deal. your mom should understand. i've worn tampons and my cherry is still in tact. if its a small one, there's no way it will pop it. if you do pop it, how would your mom know? it's a tampon...it cannot take your virginity. tampons usually come with instructions and they're really not hard to use..you just have to know yourself well. back in the day, i was wayyy too embarrased to ask my mom so i took a couple and learned by myself so it's not difficult and can be done. i think you'll be fine! <3

I suggest you don't have any notes written to your teacher. Sneak a box of tampons anyways. The box will show you how to use them. I suggest start them about a week before you start swimming to get used to it.

Because people are gonna ask you why your not going if you have a note written. And I don't think you want to exxplain that. Orr I don't think you want your gym teacher to know. Especially if it's a guy.Hope I helped.

Hey

Well there's no real reason for you to be worried so relax! You could either have your mother write your teacher a note, have your mother call the teacher, or have your mother see your teacher in person. If you rather not do this then buy some tampons and use them without letting your mother find out. What she doesn't know won't hurt her, and after all it is YOUR BODY, not hers. It's completely up to you and ONLY you. You are 15 years old, and that's old enough to use tampons.
Since you don't know how to use them, why don't you ask somebody at school. I'm sure some of your friends use them. If anything you can comment my inbox if you do decide to use them and i'll be more then happy to help you. If you don't feel like lying to your mother, maybe you should have a long talk with her about why you think you should be able to wear tampons. Although I'm pretty sure your mother made up her mind and there's no way to change that. If you need anymore help just comment my inbox.

Hey, well theres no way you can swim using a pad. So your going to either have to fail or use the tampon. I suggest using the tampon. Maybe ask your school conseller if shes a girl how to use them. Even ask one of your friends who might use them. Hope i have helped. Please rate.

Wow, when I was in school P.E. was year round. This wouldn't have been an issue. You would just sit out during those times. I'm surprised your teacher male or female doesn't understand the possibility of this coming up. I'm sure they have back-up plans for this kind of thing. Go to your teacher and explain. Tell her if s/he needs a note from your mother or even if s/he needs to talk to her, you will arrange it. It will all work out.


Namaste,

S_C answered Saturday January 21 2006, 1:26 pm:
The best way to handle this situation is to have your mom contact the teacher either by a note or by phone call, e-mail is one of the most efficient ways to contact teachers though. Make sure that it is prior to the day you have to swim, if not the teacher may get upset with you. If your teacher is a female then maybe if you talk to her and tell her your mom will call or write if she doesn't believe you (in a polite way). If your teacher still makes you swim then I suggest having a parent calling an administrator of some sort. It's wrong to make someone do something against beliefs. Now if your mom gives in and lets you use the tampon, well then good, but if not she will most likely have to contact the teacher/school.

That's not that big of a problem to solve. Have your mom contact your teacher (or teacher contact your mom) and they'll come up with something. Either your teacher will come up for something you can do while eveyone is swimming or your mom will come around to the tampon thing.


And I'm sure you have locker rooms, yes? Keep your tampons in there (if you start using them) and change them. You don't need to hide them from girls because all girls deal with that. And the guys will have no clue becuase you can't tell if you're wearing a tampon when it's in.


And the box will tell you how to use them...

okay well first of all it doesnt pop your cherry and if your mom rights a note to the gym teacher they shouldnt fail you.. that happened to me. we have 18 weeks of swimming 3 days a week and there were a few girls in my class that werent aloud to wear tampons and the teacher let them go because their parents wrote notes. also maybe you can borrow tampons from a friend of if your period isnt too bad just go without.. i mean ive had to do it before.. its gross i know but you gotta do what you gotta do.
