Answer 1

Definitely more than we want to hear.  Talk to your mom or another relative.  Good luck and don't be scared!

Answer 2

It's okay.

Calm down.

I think you are just freaked out because of the blood.

Your period only lasts for a week.

Well, it should anyway.

I think you should talk to your mother.

Answer 3

Yes, it's normal. Having your period is no reason to cancel any activity. Women all over the world go right on about their lives with no interruption.

I understand that it's a new experience and you are freaked out, but it's just natural. You can swim, and no you won't attract sharks.

If you want advice about what specific feminine hygiene products to use, don't be embarrassed to ask, either here, or among your friends and family. Come on, half the people in the world go through the exact same thing! : )

Answer 4

Soooooooo, what does this have to do with travel in Houston, Texas?

Answer 5

I wouldn't worry about it unless you plan on swimming Houston to your cruise ship.  Then you would have to worry about the sharks being attracted to the blood.

Answer 6

You are 15 and don't know what goes on already?  Come on!  Talk to your mom or another trusted female adult about getting what you need and what to expect.  

And second, there are better categories to put this under on YA.  Just because you live in Houston, doesnt mean every question you ever have goes under Houston Travel.

You should be fine for vacation, but every woman's body is a bit different.  Bring along some feminine products just in case.
