Call her parents to either bring some more supplies or money so she can get some more. If you cannot get ahold of her parents, ask your parents. If all else fails, ask a trusted neighbor.
She may want to talk to her mom in the future. Her doctor might be able to put her on birthc control to help regulate her flow a bit.
If you have some money for pizza, why not look for coupons to save you some money and look for tampon coupons and find a way to make your money extend a bit further.

Sounds like your friend needs to call her parents to go to a doctor. Sometimes a period can do that for a day, but when it it does not lighten up then its usually time to visit the emergency room. This all sounds like a problem I used to have as a teen due to having ovarian cysts. My doctor had me take Ibuprofen (1000mg) every 4 hours BUT only for 24 hours to slow the bleeding.

Doctor. Right now. Call her doctor's office and talk to the nurse, if she has a doctor. If she doesn't, call an emergency room. If she loses too much blood she could go into shock and die quickly. What if she has a uterine mole? Or something. I don't know, I'm not even a nurse, but I do know that too much blood loss will kill somebody, and it's not worth taking that kind of chance.

i don't know what you can do tonight...b ut in general tell her to go to her doctor... if she starts birth control it will regulate her periods and make her flow lighter. I started b.c. when i was 14 to regulate my periods and it's been great. As far as tonight call ur parents and see if they got any money around the house for her to buy some tampons/pads. other wise go to her house and get some money

Wrap a mattress pad around her waist or make her a "Sumo diaper" out of 3 or 4 sheets. That should do the trick and not be the least bit humiliating.

I know this may sound crazy but scavenge through the pills at your house. ONLY look for iron, calcium, or multi-vitamin. If you find any like iron and calcium, take both. If you find multi-vitamin and iron or calcium still take both. I take a multi-vitamin and calcium everyday and it seems to shorten the bleeding, also tea is excellent to shorten the bleeding too. Another good thing before you go to sleep is to fill a bath tub with cold water and soak in it for a couple minutes or so, it stops your flow so you won't bleed as bad.

tell her to go to the doctors ..they can put her on something called mefanamic acid..it reduces the blood flow n helps the pain she might have :) i was prescribed them and they work a treat..they are also suitable if she has asthma :)..so yer advice her to go asap and she can cut down on the size and amount of time she changes her tampon

she needs to go to doctor asap. to much blood lost can cause her to go into shock, its not normal to lose so much blood during your period. also if she having alot of cramps and discomfort it could be a sign of anothe illness that needs special treatment. forget about pizza money she needs medical attention asap. pleaseeeeeeeeeee
