Kendall M. • Idaho • 12
I was homeschooled in Idaho by very conservative parents. I didn’t know shit about my period. I got it in my friends house while I was alone there waiting for a ride home. I remember the blue tile, the blue sink of the unrenovated 1960s bathroom.
I thought I was dying. I was ashamed. It was horrible, painful, scary. Later it was a joke, but I felt ashamed about it for a long time.
