Well I got my period on April 15 or 16 on 5th grade (I’m in 6th grade now) and I went to the bathroom at lunch and my underwear were brown all over! I didn’t know if it was my period or not so I just put toilet paper and went on with my day. Later that day I told my older sister first and then she showed me how to put in pads and stuff then I told my mom and she was happy for me.
