Answer 1

First of all, I am very sorry about your Mom. I lost my Mom when I was 13; this was very hard for me. I hope that you are recieving counseling for this; it will help you tremendously in the future. Talking to a school counselor will be great for you; I didn't seek talk to anyone and that was a big mistake. I am 34 now and I still miss her. Back to your question, I will explain it in the simplist way possible; this is how I explained it to my daughter:
There is a part of your body called your "uterus"; this holds a teen-tiny baby. The uterus has a bed made out of tissue, blood, and minerals. This is the baby's "bed'. If the baby is not there, no unprotected sex or anything, then there is no need for the "bed" and the "bed" needs to be "made" again, for the next month. If there is a baby there, you will not see your period, this is why when most women do not see their periods, after initally having it, of course, they take a pregnancy test. The bed comes out of you vagina.
You may experience cramping, nausea, and be a bit crabby. This is normal. One day you may feel tired and you may fell like you have diarrea or have "stomach cramps." Along with this, you may itch A Lot down there. I say"may" because you may not have any of these signs; all of or bodies are not the same. Don't be afraid, all of us have gone though this. Please talk to a female family member; she is not your Mom, but she could give you great insight. G-D Bless, Darling.

Answer 2

a period is the release of the uterine lining from inside the uterus. Each month, the menstrual cycle prepares for pregnancy by building up tissues inside the uterus for the fertilized egg to implant into (if you have sex, which you won't for a long long time, right!?) These tissues build up and then are released, they detach bit by bit and come out the vagina. This lasts from 2-7 days and usually involves some cramping and discomfort. After this is over, your body gradually prepares to build up a fresh uterine lining in case you get pregnant. Each cycle usually lasts about 28 days, but the period is only the part where the lining is being released, incidently the first day of the period marks the beginning of the cycle.

Answer 3

a period, is the cycle girls experience. they release an egg and it takes about 28 days or a month when you start... if it's fertilized by male sperm it will become a fetus and if not it is released in an excess of tissue and blood, they usually last about three to seven days.. you'll see blood

Answer 4

im really sorry about your mom. that would really stink. I would tell you but it is alot you need to no. so you can either go to websights online and kinda teach yourself or ask some other women in your family that you can trust. There are a lot of sights out there that can really help you understand. doesnt your school teach it? mine does.

Answer 5

you might get cramps in your stomach or a headache or backache. The surest sign you have your period is if there is blood coming out of your vagina. Sometimes the first time you notice it is in your urine.
