If that doesn't succeed you should speak to your doctor for some form of birth control, which will help regulate your periods.

Unfortunately it's just something we all have to go through.
I really don't think swallowing hormone pills every day at your age is the best thing to do just because it's annoying.
Just make sure you have a little (new clean) pencil case at the bottom of your bag with liners and tampons in it for emergencies.
Good Luck!! xx

 You could Go to see you doctor and request to go on the pill, This will requlate your periods (every four weeks).
Obviously let him know why you want to go on, and maybe let your mum know also?
But (from what ive read, and not experianced being a bloke and all) its normal for your periods not to be regular when you start, and in time they should settle down and become more regular on there own.

 At your age it's quite common to have fluctuating periods. They eventually settle down to a more workable pattern. I would use pantyliners everyday and make sure you have emergency pads/tampons in your locker or book bag at all times. Your doctor can also put you on low dose birth control pills which help regulate your cycle but he/she may not want to give it to you at such a young age.
