Living With Your Period

When you start your period, it is like a new world. You have to start worrying about things you never worried about in the past:

• Can I bath or shower when I am on my period?
• Can I play soccer or do ballet?
• How do I go camping when I am on my period?
• Can I swim with my friends when I have my period?
• Can I fly overseas when I have my period?
• Can I become an astronaut and go to the space station when I have my period?

All these questions are normal. Your mother wondered about it, your sisters wondered about them, your friends wonder about it. Nobody gets born with all the answers. We have to ask, learn and try things to figure it out.
