Ladies, at what age did you start your period?

Question

how did you feel? Were you happy, pissed off, sad, etc?

I started mine when I was 11. I was so angry at everybody, especially at my dad when he was all like "congratulations sweetie!" I didn't want congratulations, I wanted to not be bleeding from my v****a. What about you ladies?

Answer 1

I was 11, and I didn't care.  I didn't even tell my mother until 4 days after it happened (she already had pads, so I just used them without her knowing).  I wasn't happy about it because it's a pretty unpleasant experience.

Answer 2

I was 12 and that was almost 37 years ago.

Answer 3

11 & 1/2. I remember because I was watching TV during winter break & then I had to go to the bathroom & when I wiped myself, I saw it. I was really excited & went to my mom's room & told her, she was really happy for me & then she showed me how to put on a pad (Always!) & how to keep myself clean "down there".

It was really like a rite of passage, lol.

Answer 4

13, and I wasn't pissed off or anything. I was glad it happened because I was passing the average age and didn't want to be "weird"

Answer 5

I started at your age as well. My Mom told me the Adam & Eve story then. I was like "WTF! Why did Eve bring this upon us?"

Yea.....I was pretty normal. Except for that fact that I felt nasty....

Answer 6

I was 11 too, and the overwhelming thought was "god dammit!"

Answer 7

LOL, that's too funny.  I was 11 too.  Yeah, they make a big deal about it ... You're a woman now!  It's really exciting ... for the first hour or two until you realize how much it sucks.
