I have a problem with my BFF because she got her period and she is worried that she is the only one in the grade. I am the only person who knows and that’s the only thing on her mind. She needs answers from me and I have none. Please help me. 

You’re such an awesome friend for trying to help you BFF. Getting your period can be a little scary at first so she’s probably dealing with a lot of new emotions and physical changes. Along with getting your period for the first time comes a surge of emotional ups and downs and self-conscious feelings which is probably why she is so focused on it. She seems like she needs you to lean on while she gets used to the new changes.

But really, periods are totally normal and every girl in your class will soon get it! She’s probably feeling self-conscious because she’s not around girls who are comfortable talking about it. She probably feels alone because no one else knows what she’s going through. Let her know that you’re there to listen whenever she wants to talk about it and she can trust that you won’t share her worries with anyone.

Good luck, babe!
