IT was exactly 2 months and 3 days after my 13th birthday. It was at school and we had a free period since our teacher didn’t show up to class, so me and a few other girls were just talking. I felt a slight wetness, but shrugged it off thinking it was just extra discharge. We kept talking about music, then it shifted to truth or dare and ended up on the subject of periods. I felt really uneasy near my stomach but again just forgot about it. The bell rang and it was time for lunch so I got up to go to the bathroom and wash my hands. Instead I headed for the stall to wipe my underwear down so I wouldn’t feel the wetness. I pulled my skirt down and was sitting down and there it was lo and behold my period. It was a HUGE patch of brown-red stuff that was all gooey and clumped together and it covered the crotch of my undies. I wiped and saw blood. I wiped my underwear down, and rushed to class cursing myself for not bringing anything along with me. My friend understood what was happening and slipped a pad into my pocket and i rushed to the bathroom and changed into it.
I got picked up early and the next 5 days i had to follow the indian tradition of sitting down eating fatty foods and not doing anything. Worst thing EVER. So all u girls out there who just got it. Don’t freak out just be proud that ur a woman and you can expect some higher respect from family members. GOOOOOD LUCK! P.s the first year you get it, it might be irregular. I skipped mine for a month and got it regular so thank mother nature i was prepared. BAI
