OP said her mother slapped her, which is not at all in the same ballpark as spanking. Slapping someone is extremely demeaning, and OPs mom had absolutely no reason to do so. Parents SHOULD discipline their children, but slapping your son or daughter is only going to cause more problems and possibly emotional trauma.

There's an age limit on corporal punishment. Slapping is always wrong.. Especially slapping your kid. Adding the demeaning words makes it even worse. But spanking a 15 year old? Call me naïve, but that's simply wrong. If she's old enough to reproduce, she's too old for corporal punishments. Not just that, but punishing someone for tracking her period is simply ridiculous. If you don't believe her, you talk to her. You don't punish her for wanting to know more accurately when her period is.

My mother used to hit me usually on the hand up until I was about 11 and start ed to actually behave maturely and understand. But slapping is very different to a smack on your hand/butt.

no uterus, no opinion.

Cramping isn't the only source of pain and irritation. Plenty of women get bloated and gassy during their monthly torture session and find COMFORT by lying down in sweats at home, a fart-forgiveness zone. Besides, bleeding down there makes one quite paranoid of staining, especially if sitting down for hours. Only the criminally insane would be comfortable throwing methane grenades in a room packed with strangers and parading a marinara ass around in public.

Like seven said, there's more to being uncomfortable than just cramps. And not all people can get rid of cramps with medicine. I used to have to take vicodin that my mom in law or stepmom would give me since my doctor refused to write me a prescription. It would only take the edge off and I'd still be in excruciating pain.

When my period is bad enough, I get the sweats, I get lightheaded, cramps from hell that only about 10-15 Advil/Tylenol can fix, gas, digestive issues, heat flashes, cold flashes, cold flashes mixed with the sweats, an icky feeling, irritability, and the list goes on. Medication, at least over the counter stuff, won't fix about all of those.

Ofcourse she is telling the truth after all her name is still a virgin lol

lol you don't even know the OP. if you're not a chick then you wouldn't realize you'd have to get up during the movie and change your tampon. so **** off

course! there's an app for everything haven't you heard??
