i almost snorted out my tea reading this.

I remember the first time Aunt Flo came around. There was an excruciating pain shooting through my back, my stomach, my head. I kept telling my mum I needed to have my appendix out and told her to take me to hospital. 10 minutes later I was shouting at her for not caring that I was having a hernia. Little did I know that this was just a little treat that I was going to experience a few days of the month for the rest of my life, in order to have the pleasure of giving birth to another sorry ass human being one day.

I was 11 when I got my first period. My mum told me that all young girls get periods and it meant that now I was grown up.Contrary to this info I was soooo disgusted at myself that I just sat and cried for at least 2 hours. I was even more traumatised when it showed up the month after that and the month after that and the month after that…

Boy, it’s hard being one.

jesus christ that is EXACTLY what happened to me when i got mine

imagine what it would be like if you didn’t learn what a period was in school.
“you, don’t know what’s happening to me. i, am DYING.”

I was thirteen when I got my period. On my vacation with my family in Mallorca. Didn´t not remember feeling any pain before that day. I was in the toilet and when I turned around I saw this red and brown shit everywere. I started crying and called for my mom. She told me to calm down and gave me a hug and said I was now a young woman. That made me cry even harder. I did not want to become a woman, at least not then. My little brother who at the time was 11, started banging on the door and asked what was going on! My mother came out of the toilet and told my brother to leave me alone, because I was not feeling that well. Of course my brother didn´t!!! Ruined my whole vacation!

ahhahhaa this happened to me (minus the “I thought I shit myself”) part…I panicked and called Childline.

Man… mine was so uneventful. No pain, no ”you’ve now become a woman” comments. My mum just gave me some pads and that was that. It was so, like, whatever.

yeah I remember my first period being like this. At first i had no clue what the stuff was beucause it was such a dark red almost brown. I ended up calling my friend from summer day camp who was in 7th grade. (i was in 6th) I knew she was older and could help becuase of course telling my mother would be too embarassing. well funny thing her older brother who was 14 was on the line while we were talking and she was telling me it was my period and we dicussed my cramping. he made fun of me for days. to this very day 7 years later if i complain of cramps or my period around him (our families are good friends now and spend too much time together! vacations..ect..) he brings up my first period experience that he feels so privilaged to be a part of. little twat.

i just got my period at the beginning of the month while i was at camp.i didnt think anything of it because it was jst there nad i had alot of stuff to do.Now though,it is back and i have to change my tampon every 2-3 hours…………….gosh it sucks.
