I was so embarrassed when I got my period. Even though I got it at home my friends at school never experienced this before, I was the first. It started April seventh 2014 at twelve. Since it was my first time I checked the pad every time I went to the bathroom. My friend found me going extensively and asked me if I was ok. I ended up telling her. She was a bit younger then me which made me uncomfortable telling her. She understood and just said it’s ok, you can tell me anything.
