i woke up on the morning of volleyball tryouts (at five! that was the earliest time i had ever woken up!) and i usually havd to pee in the morning so i went and i saw blood on the toilet paper and i was kinda freaked out for a sec, but i remembered my mom got me pads just in case it happened so i quickly grabbed one. and i remebered how it worked from the fifth grade puberty talk. so i went to tryouts and school without telling my mom because she might want me to stay home from volleyball tryouts. i got home and had to go pee again and i didn’t tell my mom and today is the day after that. im kinda scared to tell my mom… also im not sure if my flow is heavy or inbetween, cuz i can tell its not light. how can you tell? im twelve but i think i already had my growth spurt (im 5 8 or 9") but nothing else has happened to me except small curves hair and zits. oh yeah girls you will get hair and curves and light cream colored stuff in your undies. tell your mom for sure, and if you’re not sure how, just ask her to buy you some pads. she’ll know what happened! tampons are best for sports,but ive never used them so i cant reccomend them yet.
