Those questions that are constanttly on here like, when will i get my period, how can i make it stop, how can I not get it this weekend, why is it half a day late, why is it pink and not red, why do i have to grow up, It seems like more and more of these irritating questions are popping up and are getting very irritating to constantly see headling: PERIOD HELP PLEASE??!?!. Anyone else feel this way? Women's bodies are all different. YOU aren't DYING people! Periods are irregular. ..that's the way it is.

I knew i'd get those answers like, well maybe they don't have anyone close to them to talk about periods, but I understand that ALL IM SAYING IS that it's annoying copying and pasting practically the same answer over and over!

Nah, not especially. I mean, 90% of the questions on here could be resolved with 5 minutes of googling, and if I was going to be hacked off about the period questions I'd have to be hacked off about all those other ones too.
If you're young and haven't had very high-quality sex ed indeed, there's a lot of things you don't get taught. If it's reassuring for women to get the feeling that they are getting a specific, personal response telling them that they aren't abnormal, then I'm happy to answer the questions.

Hey if it bothers you sooo much maybe you should stop coming on YA. I mean that is why there is a section for those types of questions. I mean gee lady calm down. Some girls don't have answers and alot of them really are clueless. That is why they ask. If they knew that wouldn't have to ask. I had a teacher who once told me, There is no such thing as a stupid question. Those are words to live by. But hey like I said if it bothers you sooooo much, you can always not log in to YA. Besides if it weren't for all those questions there would be no top contirbuters or points. That is why I responded to your dumb question, because your stupid question is once again another repeat. But hey thanks for the 2 points so I can continue being a top contirbuter for answering all the stupid little repeated questions.

This is a site for contributing to a community of people who need help. The "Women's Health" title indicated that this is a specific place that a woman can go to talk about her womanly health problems, and seeing as how women undergo the same things through maturing- repetition is bound to happen.
Also, some girls growing up do not have people they can talk to about these sorts of things. They might not have direct ways to get to the doctor without parents knowing or even money to throw away on a pregnancy test for a period that is a week late and lighter than normal. Sometimes, the support and help from this site is comforting and the advice can calm nerves (and we all know how nerves make the mind play tricks into thinking what you don't want it to).
So if this really bothers you, find another place to get/advise help when you need it.

Well this is women's health and periods are a big part of a woman's life. I don't have any problems with people asking these kinds of questions.......just because they ask doesn't mean I have to answer them or even read them.
** It may be taught in school but did you have the nerve at that age to ask questions about your period?? I think not!!!

While I agree with you fundamentally, this is what happens when you have (a) someone who refuses to search previous questions; (b) people on here who are younger than the posted Community Guidelines; (c) people who will humor them by ANSWERING the questions.
If you don't want to answer it, then don't. You have to understand that not everyone is bright enough to figure out how to search the internet for this information, or too immature to go to the RIGHT person for help. Anonymity has its price...and we unfortunately pay, too.

True but you have to understand that if they aren't knowledgable about certain things then they ask and its only proper that if we know the answer to give it to them....what if they weren't close to their mom or don't have a mom and no one taught them and they have no one else to ask but everyone on here....thats sad. While it may be irritating, they are just looking for an answer and they should at least get that here...thats what the site is for.

Actually it makes me sad. It just shows that parents are not talking to their kids, that schools are not teaching kids about their bodies and that for some reason, women's health is still decades behind men's and continues to be "taboo."
Sure, it's sort of annoying that there are so many questions about it, but that just shows what a sorry state we're in.

i hadnt seen too many period questions, but u kno it can be scary for a young girl who gets it for the first time and maybe this is the only was she can ask questions, because she doesnt feel comfortable talking to a parent or friend. they are just trying to learn, if you dont like the questions don't answer them. its not a big deal. u could also argue that too many ppl post pictures and ask if they are attractive. its what people do.

Women have more of a "tribe" mentality: When they have a problem - they want to share.
So the 29'th posting per day is not really looking for facts or advice. She's just saying she has the same concerns/problems as the others and wants to be listened to.
Also: when you are feeling miserable, it helps to know you are not alone.
