Just got it

So its July 29 2015
I just hot it i was wearing some white shorts arounds the house. It was like 1.00 am i had to go pee and i felt some discharge before i just thought it was discharge though. So i looked down and i see this huge brown spot. I knew what a period was of course but i just thought it was poop. When i wiped there was read on the toilet paper so i yelled for my mom who was sleeping and she got up and i said i stared my period she gave me a pad and I’m making this right now. Oh and I’m 12 your lucky if you get it later less years you have to have your period for.
