My friend said she gets her period every day!? Isn’t true, right!?

No way! Your friend can't literally be getting her period every day. That's not how periods work at all.

Okay so a period is just one part of your whole menstrual cycle, and it usually lasts about 3 to 7 days. Your body needs time to get ready for the next period, so you get a break in between. If someone was bleeding every single day, that would be something super different from a period and they should definitely tell a grown-up or a doctor about it.

Maybe your friend was joking, or maybe she was confused about something else. Sometimes people have spotting, which is like super light bleeding or just a few drops, but that's not the same as a full-on period. Spotting can happen for different reasons, especially when your body is still figuring things out in the first few years of getting your period. But still, not every day.
