She absolutely terrified to say one word. If she asks me what's wrong all i can say is "it's a girl thing" and she immediately understands and won't say another word about it. And it makes me a little mad, she's perfectly fine everyday, almost like she never has it, but i know i can ask what she does because there is absolutely no way she'll talk about it. She asked me to go ice skating with her tomorrow, but the 17th is usually the day i get my period. So i don't want to go cuz i don't feel comfortable leaving my house. Well i've been telling her all week, "i don't think i can go." she asked me why and the best thing i could say was "it's a personal problem." But that's not good enough of an explanation for her. I would explain the truth to her, but she refuses to talk about those things. What do i do? Thanks.

 I dont understand why some girls find this awkward since all girls get periods and the same body troubles.
If your mate is hurt about your "personal problems" then explain to her your on your period or that time of the month, and she should drop it.
However, you should try not to put your life on hold for that time of the month. Try going out and enjoying yourself, and just carry some saintary products with you in a bag. x

 Well, if you're good friends like you say, then to be honest, I don't think you should have anything to worry about. You're honestly trying your hardest to explain to her by the sounds of it, but you think she won't listen? Try telling her that it's a personal problem and it might make you and/or her uncomfortable bringing it up and it might be a bit awkward to talk about it?
Hope this helps :) xx
