I was 12 years old when my period started. My family was on vacation at our lake house when I went to change my swimsuit and there was a brown red stain. I knew I had started my period but decided to put on black underwear and not tell my mom.
I told her the next day because I didn't have any supplies. She really wanted me to wear a tampon but I wasn't ready so I couldn't swim the whole rest of the week.
