don't use a tampon! unless you're comfortable with it but i wouldn't recommend using a tampon until ur a little older, but yes, you can do crosscountry. if you have cramps while running though, use these heat pads called thermacare heat wraps. they are thin and goes under ur clothes and they can't be seen... so if you have period cramps (which i do a lot lol) i would use those! (in sources is a website with info on the thermacare wraps)
also, if you're running for a long time (depending on how heavy the blood flow is), u might wanna get a thicker pad. if its not that heavy and ur not staying for awhile, then get a thinner one. pads might feel like diapers for awhile but you'll get use to them.. trust me.
but if you can use a tampon with the help and consent of ur mother then go right ahead.

Yes. I thought the same thing when I got my period, then I found out that the more that you do physical activities the better. Do what you have to do even if that means wearing a really long pad

Of course, use a tampon, a slim one would be best since you're a first timer, and use a thin panty liner. Also take midol for any cramps or bloating or other period related problems.

I wouldn't use a tampon yet. First periods can be unpredictable, and leaving one in too long can contribute to TSS. Use a pad, but I would make sure to remain hydrated.

Yes, just make sure you have something so you don't leak. Just don't freak out because the pressure in your mind makes your body get crazy and then that happens...Kinda stupid, I know..But it IS true!
