I hate my period, it's like a form of cruel and unusual punishment by my own body for not being pregnant. I have the most terrible cramps, and if I even have a single sip of a fizzy drink at the same time, it is AGONY (why is this? Anyone else have this problem?). And I don't even have the one positive thing (assurance that I'm not pregnant) because I'm a virgin so I couldn't be pregnant anyway.
At the beginning, I have the heaviest flow in the world and there's only ever completely inadequate "regular" tampons in the bathroom. Then near the end, it's really light so it's hard to tell if it's over or if it's just taking a break. Worst thing of all is when it starts at school and I have no tampons with me, and I have to face the embarrassment of going to student reception and asking for some while trying to make sure no boys overhear. And the ones they give out at school are absolutely awful anyway, they disintegrate after about ten minutes (apparently the school nurse gives out free condoms as well. I hope those are better quality than the tampons, for everyone's sake!).
To conclude, no, periods are the worst thing ever.
