When Did You Get Your First Period?

I don't know if it was a coincidence or I started it myself?

Where Were You When Your First Period Started?

I just had my first media class at school and our teacher told us to get used to these weird computer software so we did. Anyway me and my friends were messing around and we were laughing so much and I have a weak bladder and ya know.

So I had a few pads in my bag (for the day when I first started) and stuck one in. I was wearing it nearly the whole day to try and soak up the pee.

Anyway. I went to the toilet at the end of the day and found my PERIOD! Weird hey?

I just happened to put one in on the right day at the right time.

Lessons Learned

  • Always be ready.
  • I haven't had it for long so at the moment probably the worst part of it was telling my mum. But she was a great help so don't be afraid to tell your mum! (or dad if you don't have a mum)
