Period Denial

Brooklyn M  •  New Jersey  •  15

 

This all started in July of 2017. It was around the 14th and I noticed I had brown discharge in my underwear. At that time I was staying at my uncle's house so I had no idea what to do. I kept seeing it for about a week and then it went away, so I didn’t tell anyone until around August 5th when it started to happen again. I wanted to figure out if it was my period or not, so I just let it be for the whole entire day without saying anything to anyone.

That night, I went back to my grandma's house and she saw the front of my shorts and they were a light blue ripped jean shorts and she said to me, "did you start your period?" And I replied to her, "I don’t know I might have," but I had already known for almost an entire month before saying anything. Well then finally, I went to the store and got pads then everything was over (or so I thought.)

The next three days were the worst days of my entire life. I went to my dad's house the next day and bled all over his white couch and thankfully my step mom was there and she knew what to do. The stain came out and since then nothing really bad has happened
