Ok well, I was in grade 3 when I first got mine, my friend was sleeping over my house and I was getting in the shower when I noticed blood on my underwear, my mum and I had talked about what to do plenty of times before so I didn’t really freak out too much. So anyways, I called out to my friend and told her that I had cut my foot and asked her if she could go and get my mum but that was just a cover up. My mum came and I told her that I just got my period and she was like ok here’s a pad and showed me how to put it on. After that, my friend didn’t notice or ask so I was pretty much good. It was really awkward for me though because I was only like 9 and none of my friends talked about them or had had theirs before so I was really embarrassed and told no one. And still to this day (I’m 14 and in grade 8) I haven’t been able to openly talk about it with my friends and even my best friend, and I feel guilty because she instantly told me about hers and treated it like no big deal but I’m still too embarrassed to tell her.
