I thank God my Mum had already prepared me. My first period started when I turned 14.
Truly speaking I was excited coz my fellow age mates already had theirs. It was a 'yay' 'finally' kinda moment for me.
Period Holiday
Sophie T • Rockhampton, Australia • 13
I was on holidays with my family. We were out and about in the city having fun, but then I started to feel sick. Me and my dad went back to the hotel, I sat on the bed and noticed a little brown dot on the outside of my underwear. I thought it was chocolate!
A few minutes later I went to the toilet, sat down, and there it was. I was so scared, so I cleaned it all up and went out to my dad. As I held the bloody underwear in my hand I cried to my dad "I got my period!"
On & Off
Demi H • England • 13
So I was out with my friends on Saturday. I went to my granny’s for a pee and there was brown blood in my pants. At the time, I thought I’d pooped a bit. I didn’t think it was my period. Later I googled it and realized what had happened.
I found a tampon so I used it, but then I went for a pee and took out the tampon and there was no blood. So idk, I just left it and went home. On Sunday, I went to sleep and woke up the next day to find a murder scene in my BED.
