I just got fired from my job because of my brain disorder known as** Dyscalculia**, I don’t think I’ll ever get another job because of this. It started yesterday when I was put on register duty at Burger King. This would be my first time on register, with confidence I thought to myself that I could do this since the register tells you how much something cost and how much change you’d give back to the customer how bad can it be?

Secondly, you should talk to your mom and see how she was when she got her first period.

Third, each girl is different. Not every girl starts their period when they're 12. Be patient. You will … Read more
