    What are the signs of a period?
    I'm 11 I was wondering what are the signs of a period? I'm in the 5th grade and like all my friend have got theirs. Is their any way to make it come sooner?

    Your breasts are still budding. What you feel are what as known as breast buds. This happens when they begin to grow.

    Don't push it. You will have your period every month for the next 40 years. You may think you want your period, but once you experience the cramping and the bleeding you will change your mind.

    Be thankful you don't have it yet.

    For most girls there aren't any signs. They just go to the bathroom and find out they are bleeding.

    We just watched the changing video before spring break I couldn't really hear it cause everybody kept laughing when it wasn't funny like the only thing I heard about was like white fluid stuff? What is that?

    You really should be talking to your mother about this.

    I agree, discuss this with your mother. Together you can go to the library and do some research. Here's a site that you and your mother can look at together:

    It's probably discharge.. Discharge is stuff you get a few months before your period. You usually have brown discharge before your period.

    This is incorrect advice. Please do not follow it. Discharge is common virtually every day of the month, but changes in consistency depending on where you are in your cycle.

    As far as brown discharge, this is usually the beginning/end of the period, and is considered "old blood."

    Chloeeee, this is an adult site where ADULTS and PROFESSIONALS give advice. Since you are neither an ADULT nor a health care PROFESSIONAL, you must be very cautious in giving advice, as much of what you have given so far is factually incorrect.
