Hi so I’m going to tell you about my first period well here it goes…..
It was a swimming carnival and I was about to race as I got into the pool I was trembling with fear that I wS going to come last you know nerves and excitement all at once well the gun shit into the air and we raced of as we were racing I looked over and saw I was winning it went full steam ahead and lot first place I was so proud I went up to get my medal and show off to everyone and get my photo taken I noticed everyone was laughing At something I did not pay much Attention To it but when the teacher told me what they were laughing at I looked down “there” and saw that there was an extremely heavy flow pouring out of me I was also wearing WHITE bathes so that didn’t help me I ran into the toilet cubicles and crated my eyes out I got in to the shower that they had there rinced of and tried to dry myself of with the broken down dryer that was there all it did was blow out dust all of a sudden a bunch of girls the same age as me came in the cubicles and laughed at me I was so upset when they had there day of what I looked like they went of except for this one girl she came over and Said are you ok? And I bursts into tears saying how humiliated I was she gave my all she had which was a ultra sized tampon I had never heard of them,she told me how to use them and was very helpful I was so thankful to meet her I went out of the showers and got my bags got some clothes on and left.i got the girls phone number and called her and said thanks to her,went I got home I had to tell my DAD about this because my mum past away when I was little he said that he didn’t need to know about that and that I should just speak to my aunt about it when I returned school a few days later I looked At the school newspaper and i was lucky enough to make the first page “girl get first place in swimming carnival"with a photo attached with me holding my medal with a smile with red legs and half red and white swimmers soooo that’s about as bad as I think it could of gotten for me😭😖😖
My mom and I were never very close but one day when I was in like fifth grade she pointed to a box of pads and was like you know what these are for and how to use them right? She also said that i shouldn’t expect my period until i was fourteen or fifteen. I always wanted my period and every time I felt discharge or stomachaches I rushed to the bathroom.
So the story of my first period begins on my brothers birthday, September 30. At school my friend and I go to the bathroom at lunch after we eat. On this particular day, I had to pee really badly so I went before eating and she didn’t come with me. I sat down to pee and saw a lot of dried brownish stuff. I was like oh whatever then went to wipe. There was blood on the tp and I was like OMG OMG I JUST STARTED MY PERIOD!!!! I didn’t have any pads so I just went back to lunch. After we ate, my friend had to pee so I went with her to check again and there were now drops of blood in my underwear but I still didn’t tell my friends because I was scared. I went through the rest of the day and promised myself that I would tell my mom on the way home from school. She got off work early that day because it was my bros birthday so she picked me up. My bro walks home from school so it was just my mom and me but I was too scared. When we got home I put a pad on and did my homework like usual. Around dinnertime, my mom decided that we should go out for pizza and I was like NOOO! I promised myself that I would tell my mom while we were out, so I took the pad off in case she would be mad at me for taking one of hers. I went to the bathroom twice while we were at the restaurant and realized that taking my pad off was a stupid idea. When we finally got home, we had cake but I didn’t want any (even though it was chocolate) because I had such bad cramps. Then we went to the living room so that my brother could open his gifts. Later, I went outside and did gymnastics with my neighbors, who are around my age. It was really uncomfortable to do gymnastics without a pad even though my flow was super light. At one point I was like okay you know what I’m going in there and telling my mom right now. I was like I’ll be right back to my neighbors and went to the bathroom one more time. I then walked over and sat down on the couch next to my mom and was like mom…. Then I had to whisper in her ear because my brother was right there opening another gift. I whispered I got my period and she was like oh ok. She took me to the bathroom pulled out some pads and was like use these when you need them. Then she proceeded to gush about how her little baby was growing up and all that shizzle.
Later that night, my neighbors wanted to try selling things for fundraisers around the neighborhood. I went with them and the oldest was like its so uncomfortable to walk when you’re on your period. I was like yeah I know I’m doing it right now and she actually asked my mom when we got backif I had actually gotten it.
Anyway, that is my super uneventful first period story.
So when I was nine, I got my period. I was at a friends house and I just remember blood all over my panties and in the toilet. I think I put toilet paper in my panties, but it didn’t help much. I didn’t really know what menstruation was, and I thought it meant I was pregnant. Because of this, I threw away the soiled panties and didn’t tell my mom. Every month for half of fourth grade I would use toilet paper to try and stop the flow. Soon, my mom started asking where my favorite pants had gone, and I lied and said they were at my dads house, when really I had to throw them away because of the mess. Since I thought I was pregnant, I was confused when I didn’t start to grow a belly, and I thought maybe I had lost the baby or something. I soon became careless about throwing away soiled clothes, and one day my mom found some panties in the laundry. She called me into her room and asked me what it was. I kept on apologizing and asking if she was mad. Soon, she realized what was going on and told me I wasn’t pregnant and everything.
Thanks, mom.
When I got my first period, I was 12 and going into 7th grade. That evening, my friend was sleeping over and we were playing the board game “Life”. And then I went to the bathroom and I found this brown discharge like stuff in my underwear. It looked like I crapped my pants but I was thinking how would that be because it was in the front. So after that I just ignored it. Then the next nigt, the same friend slept over again. I found the same thing I had the day before. I kinda freaked out but I didn’t tell anybody. Then, I was gonna take a shower that night and I found red drips in my pantiliner. So i walked out of the bathroom and mouthed to my friend “I got my period” and he has had hers already so she just laughed. When i went back into the bathroom, I texted my mom that I got it and asked her if i should wear a pad to bed. Yea, my story is boring but oh well. (also sorry for any spelling errors cause auto correct isnt on my phone)
I haven’t got my period, but I really want it because I’ve been getting discharge for 2 years and I’m tired of thinking is this it but it’s not, just real heavy discharge. I’ve been teased as well for not having it which is dumb, right? Anyway, do yous think I’ll get it soon? I’ve had discharge for 2 years, I wear a bra A cup I’ve got LOADS of hair down there, I’ve got lots of hair on my u/arms which I have to shave cos I do lots of gymnastics (awkward if you’re wearing a sleeveless leotard) and my mom got hers when she was eleven and I’m thirteen. Please help me!
