it is really your preference. i would start out with a pad, and change them frequently to avoid any sort of infection. with tampons you need to change them every 4-8 hours. and it is possible that the first time you use a tampon it may hurt a little. with tampons you will also want to buy some panty liners to avoid any possible leakage. if you are going to be swimming while on your period you should either use a tampon or just not swim while on your period.

panty liners are also good for in between periods to avoid any spotting in you underwear.

any other questions?

kissing a boy has nothing to do with starting your period. like i said before all girls start at different ages, just wait, be patient. :D

oh gosh. well any sort of cursing is really not appropriate for anyone, let alone someone that age.

on the post you made about your breast hurting too, that is all part of puberty. there is nothing abnormal about it.

stop worrying, if it becomes that big of a pain you should tell your mother about it and see what she can do to help you. and if you are still worried, maybe you should think about asking your mother to take you to the doctor.
