My first period story (at 10) is not all that interesting so I'd like to share a different one.
Once when I was 13, while at school, I got terrible cramps and it felt as though I was bleeding from everywhere. Back then I used to have various different circles of friends, most of whom weren't close to each other.
That one day though, having seen me in that much distress, they all kind of came together and ran to different parts of school to fetch extra pads or pain medicine and some stayed put with me, none caring that this exercise was cutting into precious lunch time.
I know none of them remember it now but the love I felt in that extended moment meant the world :')
