Periods suck bad enough. Me having all girl friends (6 years) thinking would understand me just hurts me as much as my period cramps. I missed a birthday party. their all mad at me. I gave her a small card saying happy birthday and some stuff I owned because my family wouldn't allow me to buy things. it only made them more mad. she cried more. I think one of my friends are actually a attention seeker, don't get me wrong. and whenever "that friend" got their period, she got more support than she deserved in my opinion. it's just not fair. why do my friends treat me like this sometimes? their not all that bad. they have been ignoring me over a accidentally missed birthday party, though.
