I just started my period!!?

My friend slept over. And we were getting dressed to go swimming.. I noticed some light red in my

underwear. And I was aware that I started. I'm pretty sure. I told my friend and she lent me a pad

so I put it on. I'm really scared. I went swimming

with nothing on. Only for like 45 minutes. After I put

it back on. It's also very light right now but I'm

scared it will get heavier or i dont know what to do!!

And I'm not fonna wear tampons. Help

    just ask for another pad or call home every person is different it might get heavier but when you just started it should be light

    There's nothing wrong with getting your period. I probably started around...12 years old?

    Tell your mom/older sister/female you can trust about it as weird as that might seem. She'll help you.

    Just get some pads and change then every couple hours until your period stops, which is around 5-7 days later. You're growing into womanhood. :)
