Bloody Scared

Dishika • India

Ok so it wasn’t that bad because I knew about periods but I was scared.

I got it at school (most likely...) because when I came home my cycling shorts were red but no stains on my skirt. I didn’t realize it, I was just sitting on the bed eating watermelon and my mom said “I think you got your period” and I was confused.



Then I looked down and ran to the washroom not knowing what to do next. I was bloody scared though I knew. I remember hugging my mom with tears and then my mom gave me pants and a pad.
