Ashley, 9: Periods DONT hurt! The only thing that does is cramps, and yeah, they come around your period...but its not the period that hurts! Cramps hurt really bad, but they're are ways to sooth them. Like take a hot bath, and excercising.
--Jazz-^-, 12

I didn't know it until now! my mom told me about periods! And periods sound gross! I hate it in school i have to carry around a pad in my back pocket.....
--Hannah, 11

periods- i dont see how it can hurt i guess your stomach can hurt but really i mean come on my friend said is annoying because you have to change your pad/tampon but she's never said anything about pain

Ashley, age 9, from not mine but other women points of veiw, periods do NOT hurt at all. And Sam, age 13, I haven't started growing breasts at all and I'm one of the very few girls without a training bra. There's some girls already in real bras! It's okay if we don't have, well, you know. So, what? She's just a late bloomer, I am too.
