I'm 15 and just recently got my period
(Yes, I know I got it pretty late.)
I've only had it about 3 times now, but I HATE it.
I can't stand it. It makes me feel like I can't do anything with it.
Since I don't like pads, I wear tampons, but they're always popping halfway out.
(Which is weird because I'm not using a big size or anything.)
I constantly have to go "adjust" myself and I never
feel like going anywhere because I'm afraid I will leak.
Does anyone have any advice?
Any kind words would be appreciated right now.

If you look online at any girl sites they usually have good tips on what and what not to do during your period and what kind of pad or tampon is best for you. Believe me, you're still able to do everything you do without your period, with your period, you just have to get used to it, with that takes time. I know it may seem embarassing but it's okay to ask somebody with the right information, questions, like your close friends, your mom, doctor or anybody you can really trust. Because the one who gets the reward in the end will be you. So don't be afraid to do some research.
Always here,

But you will get used to it. If you are scared about leaking you can wear a tampon and the smallest sized pad, that way you won't leak. Or you can try different tampons. I felt the same way about not being able to do anything but now I'm used to it and I know I can still do things like play sports and other things.
MissKhalili answered Friday December 28 2007, 9:43 pm: well if u cant stand it at all talk to your mom about letting you get the birth control shot.
that stops your period for 3 months and you get it done every 3 months.
if she says no to that a good way to know that you wont leak is while wearing a tampon also where a pantie liner underneath...
those are easy to move around it and it will also protect you from leaking...
