A few hours ago, sometime last night, my friend called telling me her sister got a period and is crying in her room. She's only 10 so you can't blame her. She needs help from me to see how to make her not scared of having a period. We told her it only comes once a month and is never painful if you use a pad. Please help. She WILL NOT stop crying in her room telling herself that she shouldn't be having her period, or that she wished she wasn't so matured.
Answer:
Is she in pain? From personal experience, I can tell you that they CAN be painful.
Just make sure that she understands that it is a natural part of life. Yes, it can be somewhat of a nuisance, but it means that someday she will be able to have kids of her own. Don't treat her like a kid---she understands more than most people give her credit for (you should hear some of the stuff my 5 year old will say, given the chance).
It may help to help her research the topic. That way she understands exactly what is happening to her body. I know that they are supposedly taught this in school, (nowadays, who knows??) but it never hurts to make sure that she knows the process.
Just remember to NOT talk down to her---talk to her like you would your best girlfriend. She is counting on you to be honest with her.after all, you have been through it, so why wouldn't you know what you are talking about??
tell her it is apart uf life i have mine i am 16 got it when i was 12
OMG that sounds horrible where is her mom thats what she needs her to be there and comfort her ummm idk what to say besides that that poor girl
this sounds corny but it might work,
tell her that having your period is a gift and that she should be proud of her changing body. also mention that all her friends would be really jelous!!
haha, i dont know if this helps :(
Your just going to have to tell her that its ok that shes having her period now. Acknowledge that yes its scary but its not that bad. Tell her about what it was like when you go your period and how you survived. Throw a small party between the three of you now that shes a woman!
tell her she will get breasts now too
Tell her she is an adult now and has more freedom thats wat stopped me from crying, im 14 and got my period at age 13, and i was crying cuz i didnt want it, my mom gave me alot of chocolate cuz i was craving that and she told me stories of how when she got hers she felt like a woman that should work

It's really sad that she's so scared, maybe you can find a book about it, and also maybe take her to the doctor to make sure there is nothing wrong. Is she beginning to show breast budding or pubic hair? It is unusual to have a period before either of those two things in which case her parents should really have talked to her about that.
Well.. tell her some people get it when they're 9... i did.. it's normal, it's okay, to get it at 10, though it's earlier than when most girls get it. And cheer her up about it.. a lot of kids like to sound more grown up, so you could tell her stuff about that.. and you can tell her your funny and weird experiences with having your period... you know, stuff like that. tell her you were scared too when you got yours.. (were you?) or that a lot of girls are.. i definitely was. but after a while, you get used to it and it's okay, you learn to deal with it.
Aw! That poor little girl. The first time you get it is always scary, so I can understand why she is so upset. I would calmly talk to her about it explain to her what is happening and how it's OK that she is 'so matured'. Get her a box of candy and her favorite movie and surprise her, maybe that would make her feel a little better.
I know its really rough, (same thing happened to me)
comfort her and tell her that it wont hurt and that everything will be okay.
Also you could share experiences about your first period to show her how scared you were too, and that she has nothing to worry about because it wasn't so bad.
You can rent her favorite movies, buy popcorn,candy,chips and ice cream and watch movies together.
Get out some board games and play em'.
or you can stay with her for a sleep over, and can talk about boys, (that should take her mind off it lol)
Right now you need to comfort her, shes pretty young, i wasn't that young when i got mine, and i cried for hours in my room. The best thing for her right now is loads of attention and comforting.
Good Luck :)
Well I got min when I was 9 and I didn't believe it because what my friends at school was telling me. The reason could have something to do with her friends ands what they have been telling her but you have to remember she is 10 and sometimes its something that you can't help but something that she has to deal with in her own way.
I got mine at 11. And my friend got hers in the beggining of 5th grade, she had JUST turned 10 too. Lots of people get it when they are younger. And tell her that its way better than getting it at like 15 when everyone else already has gotten it. She would feel left out if that happened.
