WARNING this story kinda gross😂🛑 Its funny , gross and embarrassing now that I look back at it. I was about 12 and it was during Christmas my cousins were their I went to the bathroom and there was a brownish stain on my underwear it was oxidized blood so that's why it was brown and I didn't know blood can oxidize I aspect it to be a bright red lmao so I thought I didn't wipe right or something lmao which I usually do but I didn't think it was my period but I took a shower and changed underwear and I went back to the bathroom later and it got stained again and I'm like wtf again? So I changed underwear again and later it happened again so I was googling shit and I thought it was a yeast infection or something I thought my discharge was brown and I didn't know wtf it was but my mom later saw the used toilet paper in the trash and she knew it was my period so I still was in denial but it later came out red and I was like damn it, it really was my period
What was your reaction the first time you had your period and how old were you?

I was 10, started at 3am. My mom had showed me how to use a pad. I went, woke her up, told her I started. She said"you know what to do. " and went back to sleep. So I put on a pad and went back to sleep too.
Thats how they gave birth to you and your parents and your parents parents. To me, everything about the human body, they way god made us, its beautiful.
I was 11. My first time wasn’t heavy at all, just a few specs of blood. So naturally I didn’t think much of it, though I knew what periods were I didn’t realize I had gotten them. Finally the next mensuration (2nd) was heavier, to the point that I couldn’t just ignore it. So I went and spoke to my mother privately. I told her something bad has happened to me. She kept asking me what but I couldn’t respond out of embarrassment and fear. Finally she started to guess, naming off a few things. When she named period I told her yes. She didn’t make it such a big deal THANK GOD, she just showed me where products were.
Almost 13 getting ready for swimming practice, noticed a couple of little red spots on my white cotton undies. Pulled them right back up got a pad out of the machine and felt like I was sitting on a mattress the rest of the day. Skipped swimming that day, who wants to go swimming with a mattress between your legs, it was the super absorbent kind so it would've probably soaked up all the water in the pool!! Got home and got one of those littl thin panty liners. My Mom was so excited when I told her, I think she even told my Dad because he was extra nice to me. My obtuse brothers thankfully had no idea what was going on.

I was 12 and I went to Christian school at the time so they didn’t teach any sex Ed or anything like that so I didn’t know what it was
I went to the bathroom and saw it and yelled FUCK in the highly religious schools bathroom... all the kindergartens where in the bathroom washing there hands for lunch when I yelled that to I was convicted I was dying so when my dad picked me up for school I said “hey when is mom getting off work” and my dad said why? I said “ oh nothing” answered then he asked again and said “ are you bleeding somewhere... cause if so you are a women now” I CRINGED SO HARD WHEN MY DAD SAID THAT AHHH
I was kind of horrified because the blood was brown and extremely heavy (even though it was fresh) so I thought something was wrong with me. It took a few months for it to finally turn red. I tried to hide it from my mom but she found out. I was in the fifth or 6th grade at the time.
I was 12 and I just had a horrible day when I first got it. I was crying and angry. Little did I know I was experiencing pms. I was in the bath and I saw blood. And I was taken back and called my mom. And she immediately was like, "Omg you are a woman now!" And she was really excited for me. And she went outside and told all my brothers and my dad. They had no reaction to it, they didn't even say anything just continued to watch t. v.

I was 11... I somewhat knew what it was, because few girls had already gotten their period, but I never paid attention to what they said about it. Lol I even remember the date, one January morning I woke up, and went to bathroom, I saw blood... but I decided to tell my mother after breakfast.
I was 13 I was literally on a Rv trip across the country and I was currently in Montana 1-2 days before I was having severe mood swings and was getting angry at my dad and making sarcastic comments 😅 the next day I got my period in the Rv: I literally was like oop got my period, and went and got a pad! I wasn’t freaked out by it at all but definitely explained my anger 😂
10.5 years old (not sure the exactly the age I just know I was in the the middle/end of 4th grade) not kidding. Since I already knew what it was I was in the bathroom and I just yelled "MOM I THINK I'M NOT MY PERIOD" she didn't believe me and thought it was food colouring since she got it when she was 14 eventually she believed me.
I was 13. I was on a school camping trip and I got it the morning before we left so I grabbed pads and stuff. That night in the cabin the one girl asked if anyone else had gotten their period yet and I didn't say anything because I was too shy/embarrassed.
And before that, there was a couple times where I had like, 2 specs of blood in my underwear and I thought it might be my period and I felt like I was going to faint. But, funny enough, when I got my period for real I was totally chill about it.
Respectable. It’s definitely a less desirable thing about being female (but there are other perks).
I used to be glad I was a boy when I learned about periods the first time at 8 or so. My mom has a large blood stain on pajamas and I was freaking out.
Literally happened on my 12 birthday... I was in denial at first, and then I remembered what we'd learned in health class and was just like damn it! I wanted it pushed back! XD
I’m pretty sure my sister got her first one at 14 and still to this day she is 16 now she cries about the cramps 😂

14, I knew how to deal with it from hearing my sister and Mom talk about it for years. I basically said 'oh this sucks' then put on a pad and went about my day.
