32B is your bra size atm but this may change over the next few months as you are just on the cusp of going into a larger cup size.

Hi, unfortunately there is now way to tell if a period is going arrive tomorrow, for some there can be a few signs like mood swings, thicker discharge, pimple breakouts that a period is not too far away but even then it would be difficult to give an exact day. 

This is why being prepared is so important and always having some pads or liners with you when out and about.

Hi, it's absolutely fine to shower or bathe when on your period, in fact I think it's a great way to feel clean and fresh during this time of the month.

If your flow is light a few Lil-Lets teens day pads and even pantyliners would be more than enough to manage this lighter flow period.

Hi, it makes sense that being called out publicly as a whole class felt really uncomfortable. Situations like that can feel unfair, embarrassing, or just plain stressful, especially when it wasn’t you who did anything wrong. Being spoken to in front of everyone about something so personal would make any group feel tense. You’re allowed to feel unsettled by the way it was handled.

What you can hold onto is this: how your teacher reacted in the moment doesn’t mean she’ll always handle things that way. Teachers are human, they sometimes react quickly when they’re shocked or frustrated, and later realise it could’ve been handled more sensitively. Hopefully, if anything like this ever happens again, she’ll choose a calmer and more respectful way to talk about it. If you’re still bothered, you can always speak privately to a trusted teacher or adult in school, not to complain, but to say the situation made you uncomfortable. 

How exciting, your first date! The best thing you can do is just be yourself. Wear something you feel comfy and confident in so you’re not fidgeting or worrying about your clothes. Keep the conversation light and fun, things like favourite movies, music, school, hobbies, or funny stories always help break the ice.

Most importantly, relax and enjoy it. First dates aren’t about acting a certain way, they’re just about getting to know each other and having a nice time. You’ve got this!

You don’t really need to eat sweets when you have period cramps. Sugary snacks might give you a quick boost, but the energy drop afterwards can actually make you feel more tired or low.

Instead, try things that give your body steady energy, like fruit, nuts, yoghurt, or something with a bit of protein. Warm drinks, a hot water bottle, and staying hydrated can help cramps much more than sugar ever will.

If you really fancy something sweet, it’s totally fine to have a little treat, just don’t rely on it as the thing that’s going to fix your cramps. Your body will feel better with gentle care, rest, and foods that keep your energy stable.

It’s great that you to want to respect both your partner and your friendship, that already shows you’re not trying to hurt anyone. When you’re in a relationship, the safest thing is always open communication. Let your partner know, in simple terms, that you and your friend sometimes have a playful dynamic linked to your head mates, and that it’s important to you but not romantic in a real‑world way. Most people who care about you will want to understand the things that matter to you, especially if you explain it gently and honestly.

The same goes for your friend, you can set a calm boundary together, like agreeing that if both of you “shift” at the same time, you keep things to sweet gestures and avoid anything that might blur into relationship territory. As long as everyone is aware, comfortable, and respected, you won’t jeopardise anything. The key is being open, checking in with each person, and making sure no one feels left out or confused. 

Discharge is often noticed for up to a year or more before a first period, so I doubt you will have much longer to wait. Remember too, that any brown fluid you notice in your underwear is almost certainly your period and not discharge, you see period blood can be brown as well as red.

What Is Vaginal Discharge? A Guide for Teens on What’s Normal and What’s Not

Hi, I appreciate that this must have felt a little strange, but it actually shows how much your parents care for one another which is a lovely thing!!!

Maybe in future pop some earbuds in, or make a few noises in your room so they know you are around. and if you feel brave enough let them know that they can be heard, I am sure they had not realised this and will want to be sensitive to your feelings.

Breasts grow at totally different speeds for everyone. Some people grow earlier, some later, and some keep developing all the way into their late teens or even early twenties. Just because you started puberty at 9 doesn’t mean your body is “finished” yet.

Breasts come in every shape and size, and all of them are normal and beautiful. A 30A, a training bra, a B cup, none of these say anything about whether you’re “behind.” Your body is just doing things in its own time, and there is plenty of growing left to come. Be kind to yourself, you’re developing exactly the way you’re meant to.

Yes, this is still a first period and as you have noticed very often they are very short in duration, often just lasting for a day or so. That does not mean your next period will be as short, so be sure to keep a few pads in your period kit when away from home.

It isn’t actually shameful to cry in public, some people just think it is because they worry about looking “too emotional” or “too much.” But honestly, showing your feelings takes courage, and it’s something no one should be embarrassed about. Crying is just your body’s way of releasing pressure, the same way laughing lets out happiness.

Who decides it’s shameful anyway? Crying is a normal human reaction, and everyone does it. Being able to express how you feel, whether you’re at home, at school, or out and about is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Hi, it’s very normal to feel nervous about getting your period, especially when you’ve heard about someone else having a really tough time with theirs. But your experience won’t automatically be the same as your mum’s, everyone’s body is different, and lots of people have periods that are mild and totally manageable. You might find that yours comes in gently and doesn’t cause anywhere near the same problems.

The best thing you can do right now is be prepared. Putting together a small period kit with pads or tampons, wipes, and spare underwear can help you feel more in control. Once your period starts, you’ll slowly learn what your cycle is like and what helps you feel comfortable and it won’t be identical to anyone else’s.

Your body isn’t your mum’s body, and your period story will be your own and it may be much easier than you expect.

Hi, having an IDP or needing things like a time‑out card can make you feel like everyone is watching you, even when they're not. What you’re experiencing with your emotions getting stronger again is actually really common in Year Six. There’s a lot changing at once, both inside and around you, so feelings that used to be easier to manage can suddenly feel bigger again.

Sometimes when people don’t understand something, like an IDP or why someone needs extra support, they fill the gaps with guesses. That’s why it can really help if your teacher or school explains what an IDP is in a simple, kind way to your classmates, not singling you out, just helping everyone understand that people learn and feel things differently, and that’s totally okay. When people understand more, they judge less.

You’re not weird, and you’re definitely not alone. You’re someone who is learning how to cope with strong feelings, and that’s something to be proud of. 

I guess it will feel different for everyone, but for many it's a pleasant and intense feeling, but should always be consensual and with someone you care for deeply.

Hi, firstly it’s completely normal for teens to have days where energy is low and everything feels harder than it should be. School, growing, hormones, and everyday stress can make you feel exhausted, foggy, or like you just need to collapse when you get home. Lots of people your age experience that, and it doesn’t mean anything is “wrong” with you, it just means your body and brain are doing a lot at once.

But when low energy mixes with thoughts that feel scary, overwhelming, or too big to handle alone, that’s when it’s really important to talk to an adult you trust, your mum, dad, a teacher, or a counsellor. You don’t need to explain everything perfectly, just something as simple as, “I’ve been feeling really low lately and I need some help,” is more than enough. You deserve proper support, and you don’t have to carry any of it by yourself.

Hi, this is a great question and one I did write a blog on, when on our old website, so maybe it's time to repost it!!

Lots of teens, including those with autism, find tidying their room really hard, especially when motivation is low. A good first step is to agree with your parents what “tidy” actually means, so you’re not trying to guess. Keeping things simple helps too: choose two or three small tasks you can do each day, like picking clothes off the floor or putting rubbish in the bin.

You can also make things easier by using storage boxes, keeping school bits in one place, and giving your room a quick clean once a week. Little steps really do add up. And remember, this isn’t about being “good” or “bad” it’s just about finding a routine that works for you.
