I got my period the Christmas of 7th grade. I remember because it was when the majority of the girls in my age group got their periods and we all gossiped about who had “started”, but still felt embarrassed in the bathroom when we took off our pads and it made that terrible loud ripping sound, trying to hide it by flushing the toilet.
Such a weird time in my life because you were judged if you hadn’t “started” yet, but you were also judged if you were changing your pad in the bathroom.
