I get pretty bad cramps starting about the 2nd day, and im always really moody.
I take it you're talking about periods?If so, I get really bad cramps the day before, and I have slight cramping through the first three days. I'm not moody during it, but I will cry at anything for three days before it.
no, we're talking about parakeets ;paww! mine is weird...it will start to go away, then after a day of slowing down it will speed up again. Every time!
Mine is really heavy for the first four days, and then is moderate for the next two, and then light on the last day. It's very predictable.
Mod
Mine was really unpredictable until 2 years ago. I kind of wish it would be irregular again, because then, I'd get it for 4-6 days and I would get it every 25-30 days. Now I get it for exactly 7 days, and it comes every 22 days.
Mod
I used to get it for 6 days, then 28 days in between....
It's too long! I only have 2 weeks of not having my period. One of the girls in my health class was complaining about how her doctor was switching her birth control so her period was going to be three days long every 28 days instead of 2 days long.
I just wanted to yell out, "Oh, poor you!"There are a lot of girls at my school who I want to yell that at, actually. Like last year's junior class. In their sophmore year, they didn't like the trip that sophmores traditionally go on, so they didn't go. This year, they decided that they want to go there, even though that would mean that last year's sophmore class (my class) wouldn't be able to go. Obviously the teachers didn't let them. So then they decided not to go on the usual trip to Cape Cod because "they all have beach houses at the Cape"!
Ugh!
I just got my lovely period today, and I'm cramping worse than usual. :P
ooh that sucks.
yeah, mine just finished!! it makes me very happy. :D

Lucky! And I have swim practice tomorrow. :P
oh no! that really sucks!
well, i hope you can get around that ok. :) (seriously)

Thanks! On the semi-plus side, I don't know if we'll actually be swimming. The pool that we usually use isn't available, and I don't know if we'll be able to find a pool by tomorrow.
Mod
And I started mine on Saturday. I had the worst day ever on Sunday. I'm OK now...even though it's still going :P

That stinks that Sunday was awful! We can't skip swim because of our periods, unfortunately. :P
Mod
And that sucks!!! But the blood....

We just use tampons. Practice is only an hour. It just really stinks if you're cramping. :P
Mod
I was the same way, Rachel :) But my mom explained to me how she first learned how to use them. I started just a few months ago (I began my cycle when I was 10 or 11) and it's been SO awesome. I love them so much. I have no idea how I got along without them...
It took me forever to use tampons. They are a bit creepy. You started yours when you were 10 or 11? Wow, mine didn't start until I was almost 13.
Yeah. My mom started hers when she was 9, I think, so it's natural in my family to start off early.I started at 10 or 11 on Father's Day xD That was exacttly what my dad wanted to hear!
Father's Day?! XD Wow!My mom didn't get hers until she was 14. :P
Haha... Yeah... That was pretty hilarious xDWow! That's pretty old compared to mine! xD I knew a woman who didn't have hers until she was either 15 or 16... I just think that's weird, honestly B)
It's not usual to start that late, and it sometimes can mean that there's a problem with the woman's reproductive system, but not always.
Yes. I think she was fine, she just started really late. In fact, she had plenty of kids, if I'm thinking of the right woman.I knew a girl who started at the age of 8... I felt so bad for her x.x 10-11 is bad enough.
Ok, it's good that she was fine. :)That happened to one of my neighbors, and she didn't know what a period was. It must've been so scary for her. :(
I know what you mean! She freaked. I felt so bad for her... But I've already said that xDI have a friend who was on it for 8 months before telling her mom o.O I don't know how girls can do that. I tell my mom everything, so it's kind of weird to hear that kind of stuff.
How did she hide it from her mom for 8 months? I tell my mom everything too. I'm trying to learn Hungarian and it's giving me a headache. On top of that, I have cramps. :P
She just snuck her mom's stuff. I don't understand it. I'm so confused by all of my friends. I know probably two other girls and one guy who tell their parents (or at least one) almost everything. I don't understand it at all.Then stop! xD I hate when reading gives me a headache. It means I'm tired, generally...
Okay, my mom was in menopause by the time mine started. I only have one friend who tells her parents everything. Everyone else keeps stuff from their parents.It's not because I'm tired. This happens whenever I'm on a new language and get beyond three word sentences. :P The same thing happened when I first started to translate French and German.
Yeah... I don't understand it, honestly. I don't think I could go one day without having the relationship I have with my parents. We are very open about everything, which is fantastic and stress-free! =PAhh, I see. I'm learning Spanish right now, but that has yet to happen me. Good luck on that! ^^
I have to go now. I have to get some sleep. My date and party is tomorrow! Whoo! I'm SOOO excited! =P
Goodnight! <3
I know what you mean. It's just easier to be open. It didn't happen with Spanish, but I think that that's just because I learned that in a class. Learning a language in a class is so much easier that learning on my own.
Good luck with your date and party! That sounds like a lot of fun!
Goodnight. :D
I agree entirely!Yes, I agree with that! Well, I don't learn in a class, per se, but my friend (who is pretty much fluent) just started teaching me Spanish and I've already learned so much more just by her teaching me, then by me teaching myself! It's so much easier.
It was definitely fun! I had such a great time :)
I'm glad to hear that you had a good time at your party! I'm taking Spanish in class, and I've found that to be easiest so far. French is the second easiest because I have found so many French contacts online. German was a lot harder than French and Spanish because I haven't been able to find a native speaker to help me, which is odd because German has more native speakers than most languages. I have a contact on youtube to help me with Hungarian. Without her, I probably would have given up after a few days.
