My first period wasn’t really bad at all. I was 14, (I’m 18 now) so a little older than most, and I found light spots of blood on my undies. My mom asked me if I’d gotten my first period and then I cried for ten minutes. She jokingly told me that I would probably survive, and gave me a pad. About 10 months later, I started using tampons and never looked back. So to all girls reading people’s period horror stories, first periods aren’t always that awful. You have nothing to be worried about, it’ll be okay, I promise:)
