What was your first ever period like?

Question

When I got my first period I was 11 and it was my first week at summer camp. I remember having a class in elementary school about periods but that was only for a couple of days and no one ever talked about it since. I actually forgot what a period was cause it was never really talked about in school and I didn't always stay with my mom.

But I clearly remember the day I got my period.

It was just after lunch and they let us go to the playground. I remember my stomach hurting so much that I didn't even go play with my friends I sat on the edge of the sandbox. I don't remember why I got up but there was this little boy who was standing behind me and he screamed to everyone telling them I pooped my pants. I was so mortified that I ran to the bathroom to find that I had brown blood running down my legs and my pants were completely brown all over.  I honestly thought I crapped my pants cause I forgot what a period was. 
  I was so angry at my parents for not talking to me more about it. I never went back to camp after that.

Answer

I was 11 and I spotted. I told my mom that I was dying and that something was wrong with me. She was like, "Ahhhh you're a woman" and she gave me pads. It was a false alarm though. Then like a month or two later, I got like a sea of blood pouring out me. I was crying because I didn't want it, especially at 11. Now I'm in my 20s and I still don't want it, at least for 9 months 😅

Answer

I got it when I was 9. I came home from school and got it. I don't remember much else lol

Answer

14 - woke up in the middle of the night with a really bad stomach ache, thought I was about to have diarrhoea or something Ahhaha but it was just blood and I was like uhhhh why 😩

Answer

Ha I love reading these! There's such a taboo about periods when there shouldn't be. It's not like I ask to be an emotional bloody wreak for a week. I also don't think I need to be paying $10 a month, or couple of weeks depending on the flow, for pads and tampons.

Answer

I started my period on my 10th bday but I started it while I was at home but one day in high school I got up from the chair I was sitting in had a big ass blood puddle and it was so embarrassing 😖 people in my class said that I didn't wear any pads when I did
