I was in 6th grade. It was a normal day until almost the end of school in history class. I checked my underwear and saw a dark brown smudge. I didn’t think much of it, although I was nervous. My dad took me to Cracker Barrel and I went to the restroom to double check my underwear. I then realized I got my first period!
I told my mom and she seemed nervous because she got a hysterectomy a few years before. So, she gave me a HUGE pad that felt like a diaper. Thank god she at least had something to last me until she got paid!
