One word. Periods. How to deal with them, and guys at the same time ? HELP?

Okay getting my period sucks. And, most girls don't like to talk about it but i don't mind, so open answers please. I got mine in 3rd grade and mine is heavy, with really bad cramps and headaches, and backaches. I get really short tempered. So what do you tell a guy when you have it %26 they want to do something active with you, but don't like talking about periods or never have talked about it with you. I can't say "i don't really feel like it right now " anymore. i've used that to much. Please help !
Answer:
Try to take a calcium supplement like viactive, I find that it really helps. Start Advil right as you start cramping, don't wait until you are really hurting to start. Keep on a "every 6 hour dose" schedule. Cramping alone can make you even more short tempered.
When someone asks you to do something when you don't feel like it, simply say, "sorry but I have other plans", which is not a lie because if you are like me, you plan to stay on the sofa watching the tele or playing on the computer with a heating pad taking the edge off. If it is your boyfriend, you are going to have to address it at some point. The best thing to do is just to say, "Sorry, it is not a good weekend for that. Buutttt.If you want to stay in and rub my feet and back, and bring me chocolate on demand, then sure" If he's not totally daft, he should catch on at some point.
If by "active" you mean sex, then you should be able to talk to him about it anyway. If you are that intimate, then talking about your period shouldn't be that big of a deal... if you find that you are not able to discuss it with someone you are having sex with, then you should not be having sex anyway!
two words, same here. lol, my boyfriend knows now about when I'm haven mine because we talked aout it, I didn't think he would want to and thought he'd be grossed out but I just gave him the option of talking about it and he could see I wanted to so we did for like an hour. We talk alot though, just say, "Listen, I'm on my period and I'm not in the mood right now okay?" he'll understand!
3rd grade!! Geez, that really sucks. I'm wondering how old you are now?

First thing I would suggest you do is start taking some type of ibuprofen about a week prior to your period. This may ease up on some of your symptoms that you are having.

As far as boys, try and stay away from them if possible when you are feeling this PMS. If not possible and you want to use excuses but you don't want them to know about your period because you just don't feel comfortable talking about it. Make up something really wild. Some suggestions: I have cousins or aunt's visiting that I need to spend time with. (usually boys get this and realize that you are on your period) Try saying that you have to spend the week preparing for exams or something clever.

Hope you have better luck with your period. You will find that it get's easier to talk about as you get older. Even better, it get's easier to talk about to strangers.

Another thing to look into is the type of sanitary products that you are using. I personally use a product called "Instead". You don't even know you are on your period most of the time. Check it out at the site below.

Good Luck girlfriend!
Say it is a bad day or you are having some problems
I think it depends on how well you know the guy.
If he's a boyfriend and you are sleeping with him, then I think you should tell him the truth. Anyone who is supposedly mature enough to have sex should be mature enough to handle bodily functions.
Anyone that you aren't really intimate with doesn't need to know. If you are invited to do something, couldn't you just say you already have plans? This method has the added bonus of giving the impression that you are a busy girl with a full life. Then, if you know when your period will be over, you could just suggest a plan for later on when it's gone.
I have the same 2 words 'same here'.My boyfriend knows when I'm on my period b/c i get very short tempered and I snap alot,we've discussed it though.He understands it well.Just try 2 make a joke about it at first and then just talk 2 him.
Just let him know you're on your period, and ask him very, very politely if he would give you a little space, because you love him, and don't want to hurt his feelings while your hormones are on the rampage, okay?

P.S. The 'because you love him' part is important, because it makes it seem like you want to be with him, you just can't at that particular moment.
It also makes him think you are considerate and respectful of his feeling, and he may appreciate you more.

No promises though.
