Answer 6

Well,  for the past year I had been praying for it to come, then I gave up and forgot about it.  I had just turned 13 and was on the toilet and wiped.  I saw blood and I kept and kept on wiping my self.  I remember running around in the bath room with my pants and undies down think what to do ( my parents were gone, I was the only one home, and I had no pads or liners!).  So I stuck a piece of tissue in my VaJJ crack (LOL).  Then I my parents got home and I told my mom first then my dad.  I had been grounded that week for being a smart elic tords my dad So I convinced him that it was PMS and I got out of my grounding!  

I thought I got it one time before but it was pink flowers on the tissue paper.  LOL.  Any way, that's my period story,  Good luck,  I hope I answered your question!

Answer 7

i was 11 when i started and now i'm 15

it wasn't that big of a deal but i called my best friend and she was like "*********! FINALLY!"

Answer 8

I was home alone and i woke up and i just started groaning. it hurt like h**l. but after the first one it isn't that bad ever again. unless your giving birth. . . . . .then it is gonna hurt so much more.

Answer 9

i was kinda freaked out it didn't hurt or anything well i went to the bathroom like usual and found a bit brownish thing in my undie so i called my mom and she told me yea and stuff like that but not a big deal well i guess kinda freaked out ^^

Answer 10

i was standing there in shock for like 5 or 10 minutes. my sister was so mad at me because i was in the bathroom for so long, making sure it was my period. haha. it didn't hurt, no. i didn't have cramps before it or anything, so i was skeptical that it was my period. i was really surprised that i got it.... i just stood there, open-mouthed. ha. :)  

Answer 11

My first time i knew what it was and i used a pad and everything, but i started feeling really sick and i threw up...

I never though up at the sight of blood, i just felt really sick.

Answer 12

It didn't hurt at all, and i still dont get cramps!

I was at home and just told my mom......I was 14 and it was really no big deal you just have to deal with it and get on with your life......

It was kind of shocking but after a while i was ok.........

Answer 13

I felt weird, i was excited at first because i was a "woman" then the next couple of days hurt like crazy!!

Answer 14

I was relieved because i looked developed like all my friends but my periods just took their time.

I was 14 when i got them and was more annoyed that i'd have to start wearing horrible underwear lol. Well that's what i thought at that time.

I just said to my mum 'Emm i need some granny pants :('  she knew what i meant.

It wasn't that big a deal but when the cramp pains started kicking in and my periods got longer and heavier with time i wish i never had them.

Answer 15

I had a tummy ache at school then went to the loo and saw this browny stuff, i was shocked but realized what it was! My mum had prepared me before hand so i had supplies! i was happy about having it then but i hate them now lol such a pain! but id rather have them than not as its just natural.  

Answer 16

well about a day before i go t my period i felt like i had to go to the bathroom ALOT

well right after gym i felt the blood come out then all of a sudden a girl said i had a blood spot on the back of my pants and man i felt so embarrsed.

Answer 17

It was no big deal.  My mom started packing pads in my backpack from the age of 9.  I started when I was 13.  I was at school and felt a little squishy, so I went to the bathroom during break and there was some brownish stuff on the toilet paper.  I wasn't sure what it was, but I used the pad to stop it from leaking.  Then I finished my school day, took the bus home, walked in the door, and dragged my mother into the bathroom.  I showed her the pad and she explained.  Then we went out for ice cream.

No drama, no pain, no screaming, no calling home and trying to get out of school.  No big deal at all.

However, when my best friend started HER period, she freaked out.  She stayed home from school for a week.  What a baby.

Answer 18

i sat there on the toilet in shock for about 10 min.

Answer 19

i was 10...i was at home with my bro and felt wetness so went to the washsroom and was like OH! and then i kinda sat there put toilet paper on my panties and then waitted til my mom got home......it didnt hurt id was just normal.....i told her and she ran to the store and got me sum stuff and that was it all......i thought that after u got your period even when it wasnt there you still had to wear a pad for the rest of ur life......im a dummy......i wasnt scared just in a daze....
