Okay so the night before I got my period we were in the church praying (im12) I kinda felt all sweaty and I felt kinda wet in my pants. I ignored it. So when we got home I run into the bathroom and looked in my underwear there was some discharge with a tint if red in it. I thought well whatever it’s probably white and I’m getting colorblind (I was really dumb) so I had cramps the entire night so when I would up in the morning I ran again to the bathroom and checked my panties and sure enough there was a thick red line of blood in my underwear. Unsure how to tell my mom I went outside in the kitchen and started laughing nervously my moms just like what’s wrong so I said there’s red stuff in my underwear and surprisingly she just laughed and gave me tips and info about my period she helped me get pads and told me that I Have started my womanhood. After that day my mom and I have been really close.
