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?

What do you mean my period? What's a period?

I was only 9! My mom & I had def not had "the talk" yet and to top it off, she was out of town celebrating my aunt's birthday the weekend it came. I didn't want to talk to my dad for obvious reasons so I called my sister who lived hundreds of miles away at that time and she calmed me down. We tracked my mom down and she returned home right away. In the mean time, I changed my underwear just about every hour and threw the soiled ones in the garbage when my dad wasn't looking lol. Starting early was common in my family, but not THAT early. It was a traumatizing experience, but I survived!
