its a dog eat dog world out there:o)

I had just turned 12 and had a few friends who had already gotten their periods so my mom had previously seen used pads in my garbaage and asked but it was always no, until it was yes. i felt so terrible and had the worst cramps and backaches and thought i was sick. i took a nap on the couch to try to feel better and when i woke up saw it and wasn't quite sure so i told my mom and she took me shopping and explained everything to me. two days later i was at my friends house and i put my used pad in her garbage and her dog ended up taking it out and chewing it up in the dining room!!! then her mom came home and saw it and asked my friend if it was hers (she hadnt had her first one yet) and asked another adult woman in the house and no one else had theirs. my cheeks were so red and then her mom talked to me about it too. she was very understanding though and told me it happened to her and she has to push them to the bottom so i felt better but still!!!
