Is it normal that my period bothers me?

It's normal feel that way. Just be glad you are not charli.m. Her period makes her hate life, and blame it on people like me.

I'm sorry, I know it can suck sometimes. It's definitely normal though!

Tampons are so much better

I've heard of one person ever out of all the countless people I know who've used tampons for most of their lives getting one stuck and it was just because the string came loose and her boyfriend pulled it out for her without any trouble. Don't let your moms hang ups make you hate your body. I recommend googling tampon myths. I just did and there are a bunch of articles. Pick the best one and show your mom. It might not change her mind right away, but it might help.

if a tampon has strings that hang out the vagina so its not going to "get lost up there", ever hear of a tampon recall? one time in the history of mankind, thats how many times. no one said you cant use a tampon and a pad. what the god of menstruation will visit you? do whatever you want piss on moms advice , i know tell her dad said use a tampon , that piss her off to no end.

At first I did not read the title and was scared shitless

I KNOW, You'll make it though.

If you hate the pad try to use a cup. I hear it's easier on some women.

Use a pad
