I will never forget my first period! It was in the 6th grade on Valentine's Day, and I just switched new schools. That was to be my first day, and there was a scheduled field trip to the local swimming pool!! My mother gave me the option to try a tampon, and hers were supers! I was like, you want me to do what with that? I'll stay home!
Needless to say, I skipped that, and my mom and I spent the day together and went car shopping, and she purchased her first new car! Even though I was a little afraid of the new change in my body, it was an excellent experience and a great memory.
