It was the summer of 7th grade. I remember having no idea what was happening to me so I nervously told my mom that I was bleeding. She laughed and informed me I had just started my period.
A feeling of horror overcame me as I thought I'd be bleeding every day for the rest of my life. I was not ready and did not want this. So of course I started crying as I asked my mom. After my mom explained to me it only happens a few days every month, I felt a lot better. Welcome to womanhood, I guess.
