haha anyway please help!
PLEASE ANSWER!

Don't worry, you're perfectly normal.

You need to know what happens during menstrual cycles to understand why it's irregular, the Pituitary Gland in your brain starts releasing the Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), when high enough this tells your ovaries to start producing eggs. As eggs grow they produce the hormone Estrogen, when this is high enough the Pituitary Gland stops releasing FSH and starts releasing Luteinizing Hormone (LH) instead, when high enough this causes ovulation where the egg breaks from the ovary. The area where the egg broke from in the ovary starts releasing the hormone Progesterone, along with Estrogen this causes your uterus walls to plump up, if you don't get pregnant the Progesterone stops being released causing your period. It's complicated, but that's exactly the point, everything has to be working together, otherwise not enough hormones is being released to trigger off the release of hormone elsewhere in your reproductive system. It doesn't mean there's anything wrong, it just means that it takes time for everything to start working together so don't expect your periods to be regular until your body has finished developing.

For now keep track of your periods on a calendar, also note changes to discharge and things you may notice before periods like cramps, cramps can be avoided but for now these help you predict periods. Take Evening Primrose Oil or Black Cohosh capsules daily, you can get these from supermarkets and health stores to help regulate your cycles. If you get cramps use Clary Sage oil from a health store, massaged into your tummy it's better than painkillers, also it supports estrogen production and acts on the pituitary gland to help regulate your cycles. Some missinformed people suggest the pill, this doesn't regulate your menstrual cycle at all, it suppress it, and it shouldn't be used for menstrual problems, particularly not when this particular problem is normal if you're just starting to get your periods - using hormonal birth control would prevent you from learning what you need to about your cycles to be able to care for your sexual health as well long-term, it may also risk side-effects and cover up any underlying problems.

Carry what you need with you so you're ready for your period, or try menstrual cups which can be used before periods, you can leave them in for 12 horus so you don't have to carry spares and you can avoid mess if your period is unexpected. When it comes to school if you're sticking with tampons (and pads) then just carry then in a school bag or purse and take that with you rather than using your pencil pouch, or carry a period bag with everything you need in it, there isn't really much option other than either carry them in a bag or just take them out and carry them in your hand or pocket, people know that you have your period and need to change your tampons and pads, so don't worry about it. Or of course if you use menstrual cups or softcups you they can be left in for up to 12 hours so you'd not have to worry about changing in school, they are also far safer and more hygienic than tampons so can be used with any flow, before your period, overnight, and you don't have to alternate with pads as you do with tampons, they also don't leak like tampons do.
