Essence P • New York • 18
A few days prior to my first period, my sister and my mother told me what it's gonna be like. When I first got it, I was 12 years old. I was in school and I felt a sharp pain in my lower stomach.
I went to the bathroom and I saw blood in my underwear. "SON OF A B----!" I screamed. I went to the nurse and my mom picked me up. I told my family and everybody was screaming in joy and it was a funny day for my first period.
