Meg T • Minnesota • 33
I was in 6th grade (11 yrs old) and I was home alone. My mom was fulfilling PTA duties - probably painting a moose for the school carnival (this is in Minnesota, mind you). I had been feeling a little weird that day, and when I went to pee, noticed something a little brown on the toilet paper.
Because of my solid public school health education, I was like "oh, hey period." I called my school and asked the secretary for my mom. After I told her, she gave me this pro-tip: place the pad higher in your undies than you think - your period likes to creep up. SOLID ADVICE MOM.
