Why do you think my period would come a week early? Is something wrong with me?
Yup, that's the first sign that you are have a rare disease.
What? What disease?
It's called being a girl.
Ugh, sometimes I don't know why you are my friend.
We aren't really friends ha ha. It is actually all an illusion.
Yeah, so what is wrong with me?
It is super normal to have your period a little early and a little late. Have to love those
wonderful pregnancy scares. Really makes you appreciate life as a single girl.
Wow. So how is that normal? I thought it was supposed to regulate itself.
Well, it does if you use something like birth control to help it. But there are a few reasons
why you could start early.
I'm not on birth control so what are the other reasons.
Girls' hormones are always fluctuating and that can be a big factor in when your period
happens. Have you taken any supplements lately?
Nope, nothing.
Well, girls are also easily affected by stress. When I was toward the end of high school,
I didn't have a period for awhile because I was so stressed out.
Yeah, but my period is coming not going.
Right, but that's how my body works is by doing away with it, while yours makes it happen.
Great. What a wonderful world.
Exactly, so are you unusually stressed lately.
You could say that. I'm pretty up and down with all this work stuff and then I've been
trying to get back in shape.
Ah! That could actually be another reason. When I was in Junior High, all the other girls
started their periods before me and I didn't know why I didn't. My mom took me to the doctor
and she said it was because I was so active in sports and that some female athletes don't
even have a period.
Ah the dream!
