my first period

I was 12 when i first started my period. i just came home to use the bathroom from being outside with my friend. I saw blood and i knew what it was. I told my friend and she told me i needed to tell my mom. My mom was sitting in the dining room on the phone and i was laughing. She asked me what was wrong and i told her i would tell her later and she goes no tell me now. So i whispered in her ear "i have my period" she quickly got off the phone and she was freakin out, but in a good way. hahha. Now my mom only used tampons so when i went to the bathroom i had to pile on the panty liners. After the whole incident i went for a bike ride to the library. When i got to the library i went to the bathroom and took off the panty liners. I didnt know that you are supposed to keep them on. I went to use the computer and needless to say a mess. So i had to leave and go home. Thats when i was really embarrased.
