HI I'm 15 years old and i just had a problem with my (guy)teacher the other day. we had swimming class and i decided not to swim because i have my period. I DONT want to wear tampons for several reasons. Anyways, my teacher started to ask me very intimidating questions like "why do u bring the period excuse?" and "does your body have less density when you have your period? is that why you dont swim?" or "whats the difference between dry exercise and wet excersise when you have ur menstruation" it was so obvious that he knew the answer to all the questions and i didnt know how to explain it to him so i just left the class crying. Today he gave me some articles about cases where women can swim with their periods, and told me to write a reaction to it and how it relates to PE and why it is important that i change my behavior. But i don't know what to say since i feel super unconfortable talkin to the worst teacher at school about this and i'm completely reluctant about swimming when im mens!. what should i say to him??? :'( Did i mention he is the meanest teacher at school?? !
