Heh, it says girls who start their period early may need psychological counseling. I already knew that.  |

WATER WEIGHT! Mamba, don't tell me yankee chicks do not retain water during their period. A lot of people retain water/get bloated due to gas so it feels like you gained five pounds whenever your period rolls around. THAT EXPLAINS A LOT. Wow. I never knew that. (Us ignorant yankee chicks and all) Ha. I just thought I was eating too much chocolate around that time of the month...  This is interesting how we're all having a 'girl talk' in the middle of an unrelated thread... think how many boys might be watching...  |

Ahh... yes... On topic... riiight.
Anyway, I don't know if I've ever been in love, and I have these teenagers falling in love all around me complaining about their tortured souls and sometimes I just go, "okay... is there something wrong with me that I haven't had an actual 'crush' since grade 8?" Ugh. You know... there are times I think, "Hey! I like so and so!" but then the next day I don't... it's very on and off and sometimes I just sit there and go "what is the point?" There's only one person I've ever been completely sure I liked/loved/whatever and he was so out of reach it wasn't even funny... Anyway, I guess what I'm trying to say is I'm very confused about the whole dating issue (the only guy I went out with was a guy I felt sorry for in grade 9: I didn't want to be mean and turn him down) and the love issue in general. But I mean... we're teenagers. Confusion and awkwardness is inevitable, as are clichés.
I'm a huge romantic, so maybe I'm waiting for this amazing, wonderful ture love that's so rampant in novels, and I just have to lower my standards. But I remember in grade 5, I was really influenced by other people. I stopped listening to the music I liked, stopped having my own tastes, started "liking" guys because that's what girls did. So, when I finally decided I had no idea what I was doing and it wasn't worth it, I came out very... ugh.
ANYWAY... It doesn't matter.
The only real thing I remember about sex education was this nurse saying "YUCKY PICTURES COMING UP!" (we were watching slides about STDs) and some cheap kits. Someone here said they got free shampoo and stuff. We got, like, 2 pads and a case to put tampons in. And we watched a movie of someone giving birth. It was an 80s movie and very bloody... yes...
Oh! And we watched this hilarious movie about a ballerina who got her period (also an 80s hit) and her friend was like "Oh My God! Why don't I have my period yet? I"M SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Jee-alous!" really loudly in the middle of the library. Ahh the angst of preteenage years.
To sum up sex ed: 80s movies and "Yucky Pictures!"... low budget crap. We never even got to put condoms on bananas... I feel so jipped.

I had the "talk" in 5th and in 6th grade. Did you get those "Joanie" books? p; I always wondered what the boys talked about as well.. I think they talked about showering and safe sex. I remember the boys in my school were given condoms. see that's the messed up thing...we didn't get a movie...at all. Except Condorman in the 4th grade and everyone paid 50 cents to see it. |

UGH, men. Natasha and I have decided that whoever comes to power first shall keep all men underground and only use them for breeding. Possibly the pretty ones can be used for decoration.

Yes, VioletB... I've met a total of about 2 reasonable men... well... okay... lie... but, you know. Guys tend to be stupid immature idiots at our age.
And Mamba, we MUST do that. I tend to fall in love with fictional characters because I romanticise everything. I haven't REALLY liked anyone real for the past year. Also, I have a weird taste in guys... they should be artistic and long-haired and sensible... I think I was born in the wrong century. I'm still waiting for my Mr. Darcy.
Rampage time?
*RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMPAGE*
Sorry, no wonderful guys yet... will keep looking.

UGH, men. Natasha and I have decided that whoever comes to power first shall keep all men underground and only use them for breeding. Possibly the pretty ones can be used for decoration. See, that's the problem. If you were really committed to the task... you would take the breeders, extract their sperm, bank it and then kill them. Eventually you could manipulate the fetus in the womb to ensure only a female would be the outcome each time. But you would get bored or that sentimental side of the female psyche would come to miss the big stupid men and want to have them around again...then we would plot our revolt....killing all the treacherous women only to realize we've just elimated the only source of continuing our species... see the world you're meglomaniac notions has wrought? It reminds me of the poet Jason Mewes.... Is that monkey waving at us? Oh crap. It understood us. Maybe it's some kind of super monkey. What if there's more supermonkeys up at that lab? WHAT IF THEY'RE CREATING AN ARMY OF THEM? It must be a conspiracy like in the X-Files... ROSWELL style. This little monkey could be the dirty ape responsible for the fall of the human race. In this world gone mad, we won't spank the monkey- the monkey will spank us. And after the fall of man, these monkeys'll start wearing our clothes and rebuilding the world in their image. OH and only those as super smart as me will be left alive to bitterly cry - DAMN YOUS. Damn yous all to hell! |

How did You start talking about Periods!!
I think dating young is fine because its just a bit of fun, its not like your thinking about getting married or anything.
It makes you feel good because you get complimented and know that someone likes you.
By the way, How old are you when your in 8th grade? In engalnd we say year 8, year 9 etc. and i dont really understande "grades"

UGH, men. Natasha and I have decided that whoever comes to power first shall keep all men underground and only use them for breeding. Possibly the pretty ones can be used for decoration. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, YES! We must do that. But we do have to go on the rampage first with Neggie, because there just might be a romantical prince charming out there... there's always a possibility... I mean, some of the greatest love poems were written by men (unless they LIED O.O) Neggie- Long hairied guys. AWESOME ;D I doubt the boys are even reading this thread, they probably think it is "icky". Besides there is nothing stopping them from having a little boy chat-- though personally that would be really icky to me. Nocturnal emissions-- eeeeeeeeeew! EEW... good point... ick... well, I doubt they'd want to talk about it anyway... guys generally don't talk about that stuff unless their lives depend on it... and sometimes not even then. What did your teachers talk to you about in your "little talks"? They didn't talk about putting on a pound or two around your period? No, they mainly told us stories of when they first got their periods... looking back it was a little weird, but at the time I think we had fun laughing at their misfortunes. We talked about how before disposable pads, women would have to wear metal belts under their clothes with cloth pads attached. I had sex education in seventh grade, but that was mainly a bunch of movies of teenagers with no fashion sense who talked about how COOL puberty was and how NORMAL everything is. They had huge grins on the whole time. People may think clowns are scary, but man, these movies were way worse |

No, I've heard some locker-room type talk but it's not about "nocturnal emissions" or whatever you care to call them... I guess I am sheltered, or I just have selective hearing. I don't know why I don't hear these things more often...
Is the "ultimate female" your idea of what a female should be or society's? Or the kind of girl who'll get the best reputation and all that?
Yeah... I guess even in Shakespeare plays the most romantic guys were jerks... like they were being romantic just to get the girl to swoon.
