When Did You Get Your First Period?

20th August 2006, age 13.

Where Were You When Your First Period Started?

Well I was in the bath when I got my first period, which was alright because luckily no underwear or anything got stained as a result of it. But nowadays whenever I have my period, I always like to make sure I have a bath, because it always reminds me of that time when I was no longer a little girl anymore:)

Lessons Learned

  • I learned that blood doesn't dissolve in water.
