I won't be seeing my gran and grandpa this Christmas and it makes me so sad, this year we are spending Christmas with my dad;'s mum and dad and I do like them, but I see my mum's mum and dad every week and I know they will be so sad. What can I do to make them and me happy.

Show Answer

What a lovely relationship you have with your family and to make it special for the grandparents you are not spending Christmas with, why not have some time a few days before to share some good memories. Maybe go for a walk, or a meal, watch a special movie, or even do some baking...anything that will make a happy memory, you see Christmas doesn't always have to be celebrated on the 25th December.

One day there is blood and then the next day hardly any and then the next day blood again, why is this happening, my 3rd period btw.

Show Answer

Try not to worry this is perfectly normal, you see blood is no released all in one go, and instead is released over a number of days. So yes, there will be days when there seems like a lot of blood is released and then on other days hardly any. Even when you think your period has ended, it's always a good idea to wear a pad or liner for a day or two after just in case any period blood has still to be released.

If you like a boy should you be okay to give him a Christmas gift, we're not dating or even that close but I do have a crush on him and his friends have told him I have a crush too!

Show Answer

Hi, if you are gifting a few friends items this Christmas then I am sure adding him to your list will be fine too.

Vicki would you say asking for 10 Christmas presents makes me spoilt, my friends say I am too much and showing off. But honestly all of them come to less than £300, so I don't see the problem.

Show Answer

I appreciate that everyone has a different view on gifting in families and budgets will vary. If this was the budget you have been given by your family, then you should not be feeling guilty or be made to feel guilty. Have a quiet word with a few friends and let them know you feel a little hurt about their comments and that you would never judge them on their choices.

Can you tell me when my first period will be here, I have discharge and boobs, so when will it be here, I am 12 and a half.

Show Answer

Discharge is generally noticed for about 6-12 months before the arrival of a first period and at just over 12, I am sure you will not have much longer to wait. My tip would be to keep some period pads with you from now on, when out and about, so you are always prepared.  Check out the Lil-Lets teens range below.

Hi vicki how are you yesterday in school I kissed a boy when he is with his friends he ignores me but when we are alone he is really nice to me do you know why this is thanks peri

Show Answer

Hi Peri, often boys are cautious when sharing and even a little shy to share how they feel about someone with others, for fear of being teased. So, try not to be too upset about his behaviour. However, if it continues for a couple of weeks, let him know that you are feeling a little hurt by his behaviour around others.

My pad feels so uncomfortable and I don't know how to fix it,I've tried adjusting it but it just really annoys me any advice?

Show Answer

Hi, like anything new using a pad can take practice. If you are a teen or pre-teen you may find our Lil-Lets teens range of pads a more suitable option as they are shorter and narrower than other brands but just as absorbent.  Teens: Period Products For Teenagers | Lil-Lets

I HATE PERIODS, THEY ARE RUINING MY LIFE!!!!!

Show Answer

Firstly, it's ok to be angry and a little upset with the disruption a period can bring, but remember to be proud too as this is a stage in your life when you grow from being a child to a young woman. As you get older you will quickly realise that periods do not have to stop you getting on with your daily life at all.

What to say to the boys in my class when they tease girls about periods, my teacher does nothing and its so embarrassing?

Show Answer

It’s a necessary fact of life that girls get periods and there can be a lot of mystery surrounding this and boys are naturally curious about this subject, which is a good thing, as they do need to understand periods and the impact it can have on a girl. So if you find yourself being teased let them know that women all over the world have periods probably also their own mother and sisters, so they need to be a little more mature in future.

vicki, how can i tell my mum that my period is here, this is my second one, it's a hard secret to keep and i need her help.

Show Answer

Try to remember that mums were teenagers once too and will remember how it felt for them when their first period arrived.  But if you are too shy to speak to your mom you could always write her a note and leave it somewhere that only she will find it, such as her make-up bag or underwear drawer, asking for some sanitary supplies as your period is now here.
