...
..tips
.when you are cramping which is when your bely starts to hurt badly put a heating pad there or hot bottled water and that will help

..get your mom or guardian to buy you pads now before you start to be preapared

...keep pads in purse or backpack in case you start and you are not at home

...i would reccommend you not to use tampons until a year after you start because they cause lots of infections

..its best not to go swimming when your on your period because you will get blood in the water and if you do i would wear a tampon

..DO NOT WEAR TAMPONS TO BED OR FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIMEbecause you can get schock syndrome

...and to keep your panties from staining go to the store and get pantiliners to keep your panties from staining

.and yes it is normal for you to get acne near on when you are on your period

not it is not ur period. when it comes time to getting ur period u will have orangish brownish discharge and u will get all moody and tired.. and ur back will hurt...
No, it's not. Don't worry I think everyone has that. You'd definately know when you actually start. It'll be reddish/brownish. If you're worried now though, talk to you mom or another person about it. Ya, it's disgusting, it grosses me out too, but you just get used to it.
Well, when you get your period, you'll know...your undies will be stained red, you'll probably have some wicked cramps too. Don't worry if it takes a while. The off colored discharge is normal pre-period behavior. I had that for a year before my actual period came. Don't mind the avatar I am a girl!
no, that is not your period. sometimes discharge is normal and sometimes it can be like a mucus. some women get a discharge like that before they begin their period. if there is any yucky smell or pain, you should go to the dr. Don't worry about not having your period yet, you've got YEARS to deal with it.
About 6 months or so before getting your first period,you might notice an increased amount of clear vaginal discharge. This discharge is common. There's no need for a girl to worry about discharge unless it has a strong odor or causes itchiness. About 2 to 2½ years after your breasts begin to develop, you usually gets your first menstrual period.

I got that off this site http://www.kidshealth.org/teen/sexual_he... if you would like to read more is has some good info in there
no your period will be dark colored. Usually red, but sometimes it can be brown. What you're describing sounds like normal discharge.
trust me youll know!!! its red.sometimes very different shades of red
The discharge is a sign you are about to start your first period, this is a normal occurrence. Wear a pad and carry an extra with you so you will have protection from the discharge and also another in case of an accident should your period start while you are away from home.

It is also normal for you to be frightened, for every question you have answered, three more will pop up - it is neverending. Remember, too, mom went through the same thing you are going through right now - develop a good rapport with her and discuss your fears - she will be glad you came to her, and also be very supportive.
