bittersweet
Hey guys! Well, this is my story…
so, I was 12 years old and I was visiting my family in Maui,Hawaii (im from Honolulu btw) but anyways, ALL of my cousins including my younger sister had their period before me. I was really embarressed because I felt like I was the only girl in my family to be the non mature one and I kinda felt like the third wheel. So, while there I noticed that strange things were happening to me. I had back aches, and I would have mood swings. Like one day I would feel sad because I felt like I needed to go back to home in Honolulu then, the other day I didn’t want to leave Maui. Well, the next morning when I got back home in Honolulu, I woke up , and I sneezed and I felt something leak. Curious about what it was I went into the bathroom went on the toilet and looked down and there it was. A spot of blood. I was so excited and I told my mom, my cousins, and my friends and we celebrated that I was finally beggining to be a teenager! Im 13 now, and tbh I REALLY REALLY HATE periods. Its annoying and you get mood swings, you get hungry all the time and you gain like 5 pounds after a day, and sometimes I have to wash a lot because I stain my bedsheet and my clothes! UGH! But, thats just how it is and every single girl has to go through it.

First period was yesterday!
I just got my first period yesterday, and I am only twelve. It’s kind of funny. I woke up having intense stomach pains, and thought its just because I am hungry. So I ate. And it didn’t do anything, and it made me feel like I was going to throw up. I went to go play on my Sims 3, because I am a loser like that, lol, and i was playing for about and hour, and the stomach pains did not go away! So I decided to go up into the bathroom, and did my buisness… It’s weird but I look at what I do before I flush, and I saw blood. And I am like “No this can’t be!!! Ugh!” And I was totally freaking out! I immediately went up into my room to grab my phone, and I called my mother, who was shopping. I told her everything, and she asked if i was having any stomach pains, and i said yes. she said okay and asked if there was any blood on my pants.. I looked, and there was a WHOLE TON of blood back there!! and she’s like “Oh! My baby is all grown up!!”

Birthday present
Hey, I got my first period on my 13th birthday… Which is today… It sucks… So my tummy hurted yesterday and today too, but it wasn’t really bad. I woke up today, excited about the party, and I went on toilet. There was no blood in my pants, so I wasn’t suspecting a thing. When I was wiping, there was bloody track on toilet paper, but it wasn’t much. I ignored it and I went in bathroom to make myself ready for party. After putting some make up on and curling my hair, I checked my pants again, just in case. I got the worst present ever for my birthday… I didn’t know what to say to my mum :’) But I did, I said: “Mum, I got my period…” She was as surprised as I was. Then I went on my party. It was great. Well, the day wasn’t really bad at the end ;)

OMG
Well, I’m 15, so obviously I got it later than all of my other friends, but I knew nothing was wrong with me b/c it happens differently with everyone. And it just happened today a few hours ago, and I thought I would share my story with yall! Okay.. So my mom is on a cruise, so I’m staying with my aunt, but my kid sister is here too o_o after it happened I discreetly told my aunt and she took me straight to Walgreens, bought 50 million different boxes of weird things and stuff I’ve never heard about, and OF COURSE had a guy check us out, which was awk! But I’m glad it happened where and when it did, because my parents are divorced and I have always had a fear of getting it at my dad’s house (which would be horrible)! But a good tip would to be prepared to tell someone other than your mom, because I was even a little hesitant to tell my aunt..

11 years old
Okay so I first got my period when I was 11 years 3 months ( grade 5) ( Im going to be 12 in 1 month).
Before I got it though, I had stomach aches and cramps the days before…I just thought it was normal as I knew nothing about periods and I didnt even know that blood is going to come out of me! Also, I saw white things coming out too so I thought that it was nothing and yea!
And then it happened.I clearly remember that day….I was sitting and playing some games on the computer and chatting with my friend on im. I didnt feel sick or anything ( I think) and then I needed to go to the washroom just like you normally do right? So then I saw it…a really little and a few drops of brown-red blood. As I said before, I didnt know and I FREAKED….I thought that I cut my self there and I was so scared! I decided to call my dad in the office, but then I couldnt tell him and I decided not to tell them. Then, when we were coming back from the food court , I decided to tell them how I got blood and stuff..and then my mom was like omg I grew up so fast, and how she remembered me being a little baby and started speaking on how it was a rainy day and bla bla blaaa…then my parents explained it to me that its called a “period” and not to tell my friends ( except I told my bff like 2 months later) and stuff, and that I am fine. I started crying because I thought that I grew up and how I will never be child or be treated like a child anymore but my dad made me feel better after…and so did my mom that I will always be there little sweety pie and how nothing is wrong and I am still a child lol and she explained me how to use the….pads and stuff.
Fast forward to today: I am having it ( I dont like to call it period) today and my stomach hurts so much and I feel achy and I will soo weak..I remember how I skipped some grade 5 days because of that happening every month and how my best friend supported me when I started going to school having it. I miss my bff now ( were in diff schools), so I guess I will be stuck with having it forever until I am oldddd :P

At my uncles
I just woke up and I went to the bathroom and did my bissness and I noticed this brown stuff in my underwear ad I was like no not this not now. So I wiped myself and it turns out it was my first period. So I put some toilet paper in my underwear and since I wasn’t home I texted my mom like crazy. So after I told her she called my uncle and he went to the store and got some pads and he was like I don’t know anything about this so your on your own. Which I was fine with because I knew all about it. So I was like omg it is heavy so lucky me I felt so moody and emotional and I had cramps.

My first period wasn’t really bad at all. I was 14, (I’m 18 now) so a little older than most, and I found light spots of blood on my undies. My mom asked me if I’d gotten my first period and then I cried for ten minutes. She jokingly told me that I would probably survive, and gave me a pad. About 10 months later, I started using tampons and never looked back. So to all girls reading people’s period horror stories, first periods aren’t always that awful. You have nothing to be worried about, it’ll be okay, I promise:)

it was ok…
i woke up on the morning of volleyball tryouts (at five! that was the earliest time i had ever woken up!) and i usually havd to pee in the morning so i went and i saw blood on the toilet paper and i was kinda freaked out for a sec, but i remembered my mom got me pads just in case it happened so i quickly grabbed one. and i remebered how it worked from the fifth grade puberty talk. so i went to tryouts and school without telling my mom because she might want me to stay home from volleyball tryouts. i got home and had to go pee again and i didn’t tell my mom and today is the day after that. im kinda scared to tell my mom… also im not sure if my flow is heavy or inbetween, cuz i can tell its not light. how can you tell? im twelve but i think i already had my growth spurt (im 5 8 or 9") but nothing else has happened to me except small curves hair and zits. oh yeah girls you will get hair and curves and light cream colored stuff in your undies. tell your mom for sure, and if you’re not sure how, just ask her to buy you some pads. she’ll know what happened! tampons are best for sports,but ive never used them so i cant reccomend them yet.

Worst Timing Ever!
I was 11 and at a boys house, the day before I was to start a new school. I had little to none close friends who were girls that I could tell, and so I kept it a secret from all but my parents. After a while I made some really good friends, but every year on September 1st I am reminded of that joyus occasion. My attitude towards my period has certainly improved since then, and I am much better of an advise giver because I can say things other than “this sucks”. Happy Bleeding! :)
