Yeah, my cramps are starting today, I'm due in a few days, which is unusual because usually my cramps start a good 2 weeks before my period is due. I might have endometriosis (but nobody's sure yet) which can make my symptoms worse... but regardless, it sucks.

I'm 13, so some of my friends haven't gotten their periods yet. My one friend was anxiously awaiting it. I understand the "being a woman" thing, but truthfully, it's not that different/great. Well it's different but not great. I'd do anything to take it away, it's so obnoxious!!
