A. Just from noticing girls in my school, it's the heavy ones that start the earliest. You never said your height, so there's no way I can tell if you're heavy or not, but I'll just assume that you aren't. I can imagine that it would be another year before you get it (which should be a blessing, not a bad thing!)
Generally, I think it can be said that girls' moods change quite noticeably, while other girls' moods may not change at all. Periods are very complex; they are different for different people. Some girls' skin will break out, maybe start to grow pimples or turn red.
Here is what wikipedia says:
"In many women, various intense sensations brought about by the involved hormones and by cramping of the uterus can precede or accompany menstruation. Stronger sensations may include significant menstrual pain (dysmenorrhea), abdominal pain, migraine headaches, depression, emotional sensitivity, feeling bloated, changes in sex drive and nausea. Breast discomfort caused by premenstrual water retention or hormone fluctuation is very common. Binge eating occurs in a large minority of menstruating women. This may be due to fluctuation in beta-endorphin levels.The sensations experienced vary from woman to woman and from cycle to cycle."
also:
"Women may experience emotional disturbances associated with menstruation. These range from the irritability popularly associated with Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS), to tiredness, or "weepiness" (i.e. tears of emotional closeness). A similar range of emotional effects and mood swings is associated with pregnancy."
Hopefully this helped!

Can having sex change your PMS symptoms?
Q. Could changes in your hormones even cause you to have PMDD? I have been having sex for a year and a half and I am just so much more emotional now. I seem to have all the symptoms of PMDD and I never used to be like that.
A. hi , i am a doctor and here is my answer. first let we take a look at PMDD:
PMDD is premenstrual syndrome (PMS) that is so severe it can be debilitating due to either physical, mental or emotional symptoms.
Treatment is recommended because PMDD interferes with the sufferer's ability to function in her social or occupational life. The cardinal symptomâsurfacing between ovulation and menstruation, and disappearing within a few days after the onset of the bleedingâis irritability.
Anxiety, anger, and depression may also occur.
The main symptoms, which can be disabling, include:
1-feelings of deep sadness or despair, possible suicide ideation
2-feelings of tension or anxiety
3-panic attacks
4-diarrhea
5-mood swings, crying,
lasting irritability or anger, increased interpersonal conflicts. Typically sufferers are unaware of the impact they have on those close to them
apathy or disinterest in daily activities and relationships
6-yeast infections
7-difficulty concentrating
8-fatigue
9-food cravings or binge eating
10-insomnia or hypersomnia
11-feeling "out of control",
12-increase or decrease in sex drive.
13-increased need for emotional closeness,
14-physical symptoms: bloating, heart palpitations, breast tenderness, headaches, joint or muscle pain, swollen face and nose.
Five or more of these symptoms may indicate PMDD. Symptoms occur during the 2 weeks before the menstrual cycle and disappear within a few days after the onset of the bleeding.
READ CAREFULLY TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE PMDD.
if so then here is your treatment options :
Lifestyle changes such as regular exercise and a well balanced diet may ameliorate some of the effects of PMDD. There is some evidence that vitamin B6 in doses up to 100 mg can alleviate symptoms.
Certain SSRIs ( anti depressin drugs called : sellective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors ) provide relief as well. one of them and the best is : SERTRALINE ( zoloft ) . begin with low dose 25mgld then increase to 50 mg 2-3 times aday ( under supevision from your doctor )
For general PMS relief, your doctor may recommend birth control pills or switching to another pill if you already take one. Other prescription medical interventions will depend upon the types of symptoms that most affect you. For example, if you are affected by bloating and weight gain, your doctor may prescribe a certain type of diuretic (sprionolactone) to help your body eliminate the excess water. If severe breast tenderness is a major complaint, birth control pills are often recommended. If this is insufficient, your doctor may prescribe a medication called bromocriptine to lower your levels of prolactin (a hormone linked to breast tenderness) or an androgen called Danazol®. For dysmenorrhea (painful periods), prescription prostaglandin inhibitors such as Naprosyn® or Ponstel® can be very effective if over-the-counter non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as Motrin® or Advil® were not sufficient.

help! persausive essay about the effects of media on young girls?
Q. okay so im writing an essay on the effect of media on young girls. Like how in magazines, commercials, signs in the city etc, all have skinny pretty girls on them, making it look like they're perfect. So then young girls may wonder why they don't look like that, and the pressure put on them to look perfect, and it could lead to like anorexia, bulimia, self depression etc.
So does anybody know any Pros and Cons about this topic? and like subtitles for each paragraph in the essay about this?
Thanks soo much!

Thanks soo much!
A. Where to start?
Paragraph #1: Body Image
Like you said, women of all ages are bombarded daily with images of what society has dictated the "perfect body." Thin and trim, with large breasts, tan, but not ethnic, with flawless skin and facial features, perfect hair, etc. These images are used to SELL PRODUCTS to women with the subliminal suggestion that if they use said products, they too can be perfect.
Well, all the makeup in the world cannot make you look like Heidi Klum. Girls and women strive for images of perfection that are impossible. Some ads even use images of women that have been airbrushed or computer altered to look a certain way. This means that the "ideal" female form LITERALLY DOES NOT EXIST.
Women are very hard on themselves when it comes to body image. They see their worth as hinging on what they look like physically. They begin repetitive negative thinking and behaviors such as excessive exercise and dieting and binge/purge can result from this. Women feel like how they look affects their happiness and quality of life. Society values them simply as objects to be gazed upon by men/consumers, nothing more. It is no wonder so many eating disorders exist.
Paragraph 2: Menstruation
All advertisements about menstrual products such as pads and tampons reinforce the "code of silence" that women have about their periods. They picture perfect women saying things like, "I won't let it slow me down!" They insinuate that you can completely hide that you are mensturating, and the embarassment of ever letting anyone know that you menstruate is crippling.
Teen magazines feature sections about girls relating embarassing stories. A huge percentage of these have to do with periods. Girls either bleed through or someone (usually a boy) sees her tampons/pads.
These media images/articles reinforce what girls are taught their whole lives. Menstruation is a secret, must not be talked about, and must not be known no matter the cost. This code of silence is crippling, and, frankly, is bull crap. Periods are a natural part of a person's life. If you saw someone on the bus wipe their nose on a kleenex, would you go into hysterics? This is a natural secretion that everyone has. Yet, when periods are discussed, everyone flips out even though it's a natural secretion.
These forms of advertising are used to keep women PRISONER.
Paragraph 3: sexuality
Advertising encourages women to be objects for the gaze of men, nothing more, nothing less. In some cases, it encourages girls some might think are too young to buy products that sexualize them. 4th graders don't need lipstick or thong underwear, but advertising encourages them to sexualize themselves at an earlier and earlier age.
Women's sexuality is used to sell products, a means to an end. Yet they also project a "look, don't touch" ideal that perpetuates the double standard: if a woman is sexually active with mutliple partners, she is a whore. A man who enganges in the same activity is a stud.
These are all cons to how women are currently portrayed in the media. Literally, seriously, there are no pros, except maybe, MAYBE, the Dove ads featuring many women of different races and ages.
