Ok, so it was one week before my 12th birthday. I was having a small amount of pain in my lower back, but I just ignored it. I had never gotten a cramp yet, and had no idea why my back hurt. When I got home from school, I went to the bathroom, and when I wiped, there was a very tiny amount of blood on the toilet paper. I was kinda scared and wasn’t sure if it was my period or not, so I went to soccer practice anyway. When I got home, I went to the bathroom to see if there was blood, and sure enough, there was. I was like so mad because that was the last thing I needed. My period. I texted my best friend, Cassie, wondering what to do. She hasn’t started hers yet but she proboally will any day now. She was freaked out and told me to tell my mom. Thankfully I told her the next day.
