I was 13 years old. I woke up one morning not feeling well, but couldn’t really figure out why. I remember laying on the couch all day and eating popcorn because it was the only thing that sounded appetizing. The next morning, I got up and went to the bathroom to find that I had started my period.
I remember going to basketball practice later that day terrified my pad would somehow fall out on the court. It didn’t, but I went home and learned how to use tampons so I wouldn’t have to worry about that.
