My story is about a mistake I made when I was younger and my period now.
When I was in 7th grade I was just getting ready to play a volleyball game against another school in our town when I had to pee. I sat down on the toilet and saw a very small dot of red on my underwear. I thought it was my period so I calmly (yet bouncing up and down inside) put some toilet paper in my panties. When I got home from the volleyball game I said to my mom “ I think I had my period” she said “we’ll we need to get you some pads then” But I soon learned that I had not had my period when I noticed a bug bite I had scratched on my bottom that had started bleeding.
Years later at the age on 14 I was watching tv with my mother when I had to go pee. There was no mistaking what I was this time though. There was like a freaking waterfall gushing on the toilet paper as I wiped. I then remember how the night before I had got no sleep because I was so sick I thought I may die. I grabbed a pad out of the closet an went on with my life because after the scary incident when I was 12 I already knew everything I needed to know. That first day was horrible but I bought some medicine and everything was all better! My favourite products to use every month now are tampons because pads are messy and in the way and midol because its only 5 bucks and is seriously a life saver when it comes to cramps and bloating!
