Females only please...

Why do I feel like crap when I'm on my period? I always feel like I can't even get out of bed, including school days, but my mom doesn't let me stay home. Also, what should I do about cramps during the day, when I'm not home?

It messes with your hormones, try to avoid the junk food as that also brings you down. For cramps go to the health food store, in the homeopathic section get the little sugar pellets called "Sepia".

How does junk food make it worse? I already knew that it does, I just don't know how. Does it actually help?

@repeters1027: Our bodies need vitamins to function properly, not only does junk food not contain any vitamins it messes with the vitamins already in our system. Then there is the chemicals that are in junk food it messes with your brain chemistry.
