Dont be scared, its a normal thing that women get, i mean if you get cramps, just relax, take some paracetomal or use a hot water bottle and it should be ok and make sure you eat iron-rich foods so you dont get aneamic or however you spell it, you'll be fine :) just think how many millions or even billions of women have it everyday x

It's nothing to be scared of. Before I got mine, I was like super excited about getting it and feeling "cool" and that I would be able to talk about it and stuff, but then when I got it, I was just like "oh...whatever." It does go away and it is only one week every month. Its pretty easy. It's a natural thing. PMS is just sucky and leaking but other than that its just "whatever" ;))

aww, sure it can be scary for you, cos you don't really know what to expect, and it may take some getting used to , but eventually it becomes a normal way of life for most girls, don't worry hun (:

don't be scared, there's really nothing to be scared of.
it can be a bit of a nuisance, but it's apart of life.

Don't be scared every girl has to go through it. Just be prepared. In a small purse of bag carry tampons, pads, a change of underwear.
