I was so scared to tell my mum that I hid it for 4 months. But my parents surprised us with a holiday to Portugal. I realized I was going to be on my period on holiday where we went to the pool most days. The holiday came and I still hadn’t confessed.
The second day of the trip, it came. I was so scared, I still didn’t tell her. I knew I couldn’t use a pad in the swimming pool so I stuck a pad in and didn’t go in the water and just sunbathed all day.
