well im worried she'll get her period. i pack her extra tampons and pads in the front of her backpack. she may get her period early and im scared.if she did, id wanna talk about it with her, but what if she doesnt tell me! PLEASE HELP ME!

Answer 1

if she gets dumped just be there for her, cause it is the 5th grade and guys that age are just looking for little things you know, so if she gets dumped and is hurt just be there for her and tell her that you dont need the guy, there will be others

:]

Answer 2

Don't worry about when Haley will start to get her period. She is around the age when girls first start getting their periods. It is ok for you to put pad and tampons in her backpack, but I also think you should talk to her about her getting her period, since you are concerned about it. But you don't need to be really concerned about her starting her period, since she will have pads with her, and will know what to do when she first gets her period. If you think that she doesn't know much about periods, then talk to her about it.
Fifth grade romantic relationships don't last, and I think it's because of age reasons. Most people go through break ups, whether they are in fifth grade or fifty years old. Break ups are not fun, but Haley will find another boyfriend if she breaks up with her first boyfriend. I also don't think that fifth grade romantic relationships have the same depth as romantic relationships between teens or adults, so she probably won't be upset for long about a boyfriend dumping her at age ten. Haley might become crazy about a guy, but that doesn't mean she won't do well in school. She can still make time to do her homework, and then talk on the phone with her boyfriend.

Answer 3

That is really sweet that you care about your sister. Why does she need a boyfriend she is just a kid? I mean I think you answered your own question because it will only distract her from school. It may be best just to tell her your concerns and share your own experiances with her. You could also tell your parents that you are worried and maybe they will make it a rule that she can't date. That's up to you though.
About the period. You are right to pack them for her although I wouldn't pack tampons because most girls will not know how to use them for a while. You should explain to her what a period is and that she may get it soon and that it is very normal and also very special. Show her how to put a pad in her panties so she will be prepared. You should also pack her an extra pair of clean panties.
Good Luck!
p.s. do you have an adult in the family that can deal with this? It may be best to talk to an adult about all of this.

Answer 4

Hey ! you sure do take your sisterly duties seriously , bless your heart.
Does your sister know about periods ? Does she know how and what to use when she starts? If not then you and /or your Mom need to have a serious talk with her . As far as the boyfriend thing ---don't worry about it , when she is ready she will make friends with someone.
Sure she will get dumped -she is way too young to meet her permanent partner in life ,and hopefully she will do some of the 'dumping' too.
You just be the best example of a sister that you can be and be there for her when she is sad or rejoice with her when she is happy.
You cannot protect her from being hurt. just be there for her if and when it happens.

Answer 5

Take her out for coffee, 5th graders are into that and she would feel more mature going to a coffee house with her older sister. Or, if you don't think she'll be open in public, see if she will go for a walk with you or make cookies or something. Just be up front with her and let her know that, since you don't want her to go through any bad experiences or be alone while dealing with certain issues, you will be there for her in whatever she may be going through. Past, present, or future, you will be there for her in whatever capacity she needs.

Answer 6

A boyfriend is not going to stop her from being a good student, either she is or she isn't. This is human nature, every boy and girl at this age is going to be interested in the opposite sex, and if everyone who was in love in middle school had a problem with their studies there would be no Doctors, Teachers, Computer wizards, scientist, etc. Don't worry if she's a good student having a boyfriend won't make her a dud in school !!!!

Answer 7

You sister is in 5th grade. I don't think I knew what boyfriend was when i was that young. You should let her know that you are her sister and she should talk to you about everything. And..she should listen to whatever you have to say. Let her be aware of the real world. All you need to do is sit down with her and talk to her. As long as you talk to her and show her that she can trust you, you wouldn't be so worried about what decisions she makes.

Keep the communication going...

Answer 8

Aww, you're such a thoughtful sister! Just keep reminding her every now and then that working hard, doing well at school and getting qualifications will help her greatly in the long run. Tell her that you're there for her if there's anything she wants to talk about. But remember, don't seem too nosy and intursive, or else she might get annoyed and not talk to you!

Answer 9

Stop worrying about your sister -- she'll cope with the ups and downs of life like everyone else does. She's not going to escape problems for ever -- she'll need to learn to cope with things sometime.

Answer 10

talk to her about the consequences about having a relationship soooooo young (5th grade? ) i mean u can't stop her from having one, but really talk to her. that school should come first always, that is not for ur benefit but for hers.

and remember that u are not her mom tell her to see u as her best friend, and never judge her.

and that when she gets her period to tell u so u can explain to her what to do, and to take care of herself (specially pregnancy)
