So, it's like a mobile phone, but you can't call or text, & you can put music on it? And games? Sounds like an iPod to me.

Some girls do get very severe cramps, some get severely ill because of it, some last the whole length of the period, some only last the first (few) days. However, either way, you have a point, scvcwcheer, as I do believe that the girl in question should be used to it, because usually, it's always that way, so she'd have to learn to deal with it.

Because so many girls experience some form of (severe) pain during their period. Just because it doesn't happen to you doesn't mean you can't be sensitive.

Uh, because they're the worst thing any healthy middle-class female will ever have to put up with? Duh? If there were any fairness in the world, of course, guys would get them instead. The bastards deserve it.

well, my other comment dissappeared, but it said, i know, sometimes it is severe (which i also stated in my original comment) but i wasnt referring to them, i mean the ones who dont have it severe. they need to suck it up, cuz theyre not the only ones, and almost all girls go through it

Even regular, ie not severe, periods come with some combination of pain (cramps and elsewhere), bloating, nausea, vomiting, headache, diarrhea, lack of energy, sleep issues, water retention, etc. Just because you're not bedridden every month doesn't mean your period is easy to deal with and ignore. On top of all of that, you get the biggie: PMS/mood swings. Unless you have experience with way out of whack hormones, you can't really judge. It makes dealing with the rest even more difficult. IMO, the PMS is the worst, because you can recognize that you're being irrational and overly emotional, but it's still hard to control. Very frustrating, especially if you try hard to not use it as an excuse for bitchery, like me.

well, i do get out of wack hormones, and yeah, the combination sucks, but it happens to just about EVERY female out there. so i just dont understand the complaints, should be something you just get used to. is for me. i dont even care, idk if i ever did.

Yeah, you learn to deal with it, but throwing up for a day a month isn't exactly something anyone would ever like.

yea so your life when you bother to write a comment on a boreing FML

love the pic :)
