I was 15 and at my boyfriend's house when it happened. His mom got me supplies and explained how to put them in properly, a kind act that I thank her for.

Then I got cuddles from my boyfriend on the couch after I got situated, which was the best part of my day. Always ask for help if you aren't sure and always be willing to help if you've got yours and know the drill.

When I woke up the next morning, I went to the bathroom and there was blood all over my thighs and shorts. I ran to my mom crying and said, “happy birthday, I’m bleeding!”

Ready or Not

I was 13 when I got my first period. It was a school night and I went to use the bathroom before dinner. I came rushing down frantic because I was not ready for this big change.

My mom talked me down and reminded me that I had known about periods and what to expect but I guess I thought I had more time before I would actually ever get my period. Those first few months were a learning process for me but I felt comfort in knowing that I wasn’t alone because my friends were going on this journey with me.
