11 years old

Okay so I first got my period when I was 11 years 3 months ( grade 5)  ( Im going to be 12 in 1 month).

Before I got it though, I had stomach aches and cramps the days before…I just thought it was normal as I knew nothing about periods and I didnt even know that blood is going to come out of me! Also, I saw white things coming out too so I thought that it was nothing and yea!

And then it happened.I clearly remember that day….I was sitting and playing some games on the computer and chatting with my friend on im.  I didnt feel sick or anything ( I think) and then I needed to go to the washroom just like you normally do right? So then I saw it…a really little and a few drops of brown-red blood. As I said before, I didnt know and I FREAKED….I thought that I cut my self there and I was so scared! I decided to call my dad in the office, but then I couldnt tell him and I decided not to tell them. Then, when we were coming back from the food court , I decided to tell them how I got blood and stuff..and then my mom was like omg I grew up so fast, and how she remembered me being a little baby and started speaking on how it was a rainy day and bla bla blaaa…then my parents explained it to me that its called a “period” and not to tell my friends ( except I told my bff like 2 months later) and stuff, and that I am fine.  I started crying because I thought that I grew up and how I will never be child or be treated like a child anymore but my dad made me feel better after…and so did my mom that I will always be there little sweety pie and how nothing is wrong and I am still a child lol and she explained me how to use the….pads and stuff.

Fast forward to today: I am having it  (  I dont like to call it period) today and my stomach hurts so much and I feel achy and I will soo weak..I remember how I skipped some grade 5 days because of that happening every month  and how my best friend supported me when I started going to school having it. I miss my bff now ( were in diff schools), so I guess I will be stuck with having it forever until I am oldddd :P
