If you are experiancing cramps that bad, then don't feel bad for staying home. If your parents won't let you stay home, take about 6 IB Profen or something of a high dose so that it will get you through the day. If it's still bad, go to the nurses office and lay down.
Have you ever tried turning the shower on to really hot and laying down by letting the shower hit where its hurting? That works for me and I do that after I take the medicine so it will ease the pain in the moment until it kicks in.
You can also take medicine and try falling asleep and then when you wake up, you'll be painless.

Going on the pill will reduce your cramps if your parents or you don't want you to be on the pill there is also a medication you can get from your doctor that you start taking prior to your period and throughout your period.
Here is a website with tons of helpful hints for period pain.
