I hate to bribe but 10 points....?

Question

for the excuse my friend and I use not to go int the pool. My friend and I (almost 14) are hanging out wih my other friend also tomorrow. It's that time of the month (if ya know what I mean) and supose to be a beautiful day. That means she will want to go in my pool. What is a good excuse besides we have our period?

Answer 1

You're all friends and girls, why not the truth. Sometimes talking to your friends and telling them the truth opens a whole new friendship and trust. Besides when you get a little older you will be talking about much worse. Good luck ; )

Answer 2

If you and your friend are able to use tampons you can still go swimming.  If not then perhaps say that the pool has to sit because you just put a chlorine block in it to clean it and can't swim in it for 24 hours.  I don't condone lying - but I also know that us girls sometimes don't like having to announce to the entire world that we have our period.  Suggest doing something else or just be honest.

Answer 3

As everyone else said - if you do want to swim then tampons will keep you protected from leakage, and you can buy packs that come with an applicator.  If you have not used tampons before, I would definitely reccomend using an applicator as this will help you fit the tampon properly.  Remember to change it regularly (depending on how heavy your flow is) and you can have a fun day in the sun without your period getting in the way!!

If you don't want to go swimming, then maybe tell them the filter is broken on your pool, or your parents have grounded you from using it or something like that.  Or, as the others have said - you could be honest, say you've got your period, you feel bloated and crampy and are not really in the mood for swimming.  

Perhaps you could sunbathe by the pool while your friend has a swim, and read magazines or a book, listen to music, do your nails, give each other facials... you know, a girlie day out in the sunshine.   Warmth and sunshine are actually really great remedies for cramps and bloating too!!!!

Have a great day tomorrow!

Answer 4

How about the truth?  I find that works well.

Answer 5

Tell her that your mom did not tell you that you had a dr.'s or dentist appt. and that you need to reschedule and act really upset about it.  That might work.

Answer 6

She would probably understand, but if you have to you can say your stomach hurts (not quite a lie, I imagine) and you think being in the water would make it worse.

Answer 7

If she's a good friend, tell her the truth. But, if you don't feel comfortable doing that, maybe try telling her that your parents are treating the pool with a new chemical and you can't swim in it for 24-48 hours and they just started the new chemical that morning. Or, find something else to do around the house. Maybe just tell your friend, no. If she's a good friend, she'll just simply say "ok". Good luck!!

Answer 8

Tell her that the pool person or whoever takes care of your pool accidently put too much chemical in the water for the cleaning treatment so you can't go in it because it is toxic.

Tell her that it takes like a week (or whatever you want to say) before they can fix it.

Hope that helped!

:]

Answer 9

find something else to do

go watch a movie or go to the mall or something

Answer 10

You could say you're allergic to chlorine (but wouldn't be able to go swimming with that group of friends in pools, and its unlikely both of you would be allergic) or you could claim to have an upset stomach (people rarely like the idea of getting sick themselves).

Or, if you really do want to swim, you could always try using tampons. They aren't nearly as obvious as they feel and you could have a fun day at the pool to top it off.

Good luck!

Answer 11

hahahahahah tell the truth what are you 12 ````````````````````````````````````````...

Answer 12

If your other friend is a girl, she would completly understand.  Or just say thats not what you feel like doing.

Or, perhaps you could wear tampons while swimming.  Its no big deal, and they make small ones for people who arent used to wearing them.

Answer 13

The truth shall set you free, just tell them the truth

Answer 14

Tell her your parents don't want anyone getting in the pool right now because it is in the process of being cleaned. Tell her that there is a chemical in there that is supposed to automatically clean the water overnight and that it's not safe to swim in there yet.

Answer 15

I'm never up for lying, but just tell em you don't feel to well or something.  FInd something else to do...Or just work on your tan...No swimming, or just hang out on the side of the pool!!!
