First Period Experience
Where were you when your first period started? How old were you? Did you talk to your mom, friends? What was your initial reaction? Retrospectively, could it have been different or more positive experience, and, if so, how?

I was at school when i started my period the first time. I didnt know what it was, and i was freaked out by it. My mom and I hadnt ever talked about it, so i was clueless as to what was goin on with my body. I remember that i used a wad of toilet paper to keep from staining my clothes. When i got home, i was going to tell my mom, but that day she had company so i couldnt tell her. It was a few days later when she was doing laundry that she asked me if i had started my period. I remember telling her that i guess i had, cause i didnt know what it was. We didnt do anything to celebrate and we didnt talk about it. Fortunatly, i had friends at school and the guidance councelor to talk to about it and what to do. My best friend showed me how to use pads and later she explained to me how to use tampons. Thank god for best friends!
