I was 12 years old and it was the summer of 1994. I was walking home from summer school and ran into my childhood crush named Daniel F. We talked for a bit and I continued my walk home. When I got home, I walked into the bathroom to pee and looked down at my underwear and saw IT!
I knew what it was immediately. I was so nervous and embarrassed to call my mother at work, so I hid the fact that I got my period for months. I used my mother's pads in secret until she caught on.
