nice, but at dennys ?? that had to be embarresing :/

I just get a feeling... not like a pain or anything but a feeling :p lol now I sound physic

Oh no no, I didn't check until I was home. I don't use public restrooms hardly and when I do it's only to do number one when I DON'T have a full moon in my sky. I can't stand public restrooms.

I was 13 1/2, on 5/11/07 (I remember dates for this sort of thing).

I woke up not wearing any underwear and sat on my white blanket to put some socks on. When I got up I noticed a brown spot where I sat. I sat in another area on my blanket to find another spot. I slipped on some underwear, and there was yet another brown spot. I was all "woah" and took a look at myself in the mirror to find more brown all on the inside of my legs.

I took a lucky guess, and told my dad I'd started my period and got a pad. It was a thin one, and I wasn't sure how much blood there was going to be, so I was kind of surprised when I went through one or two. But nearly three years later, I've got the gist of it.

[email protected] i dont like public restrooms either eewiiee =/

[email protected] thats pretty funny,,,, my mom gave me a book and kinda told me wats wat :P ,,,, who is that guy in your siggy ,,, i think i know who he is ..,,, its on the tip of my tongue and its driving me crazy :P

>< *gag* YUCK! OMG I would have died having it get everywhere like that.

I was lucky to have been at home when I got my first full moon. I was working on a story(I have always loved writing) in my room and I had to go number two. There was brown on my pantie liner and red on the toliet paper when I wiped my rear. I summoned my mom who got all excited when she told me what it was and promptly called my grandmother and my aunt although I tried to stop her. Geeze mom ><

LOL haha ur mom got excited thats funny :P

Yep that's my mom the alien. ><
It embarrassed me.

awe why woud you be embarresed ??

Because I didn't exactly find this something to celebrate it's just life...annoying life. ><

true but its not something to be embarrassed of either

I suppose not.

I was 12 when I first got mine. I was on a week long camping trip with my classmates when it started, so yeah, it was embarrassing. I had to go home on the second day because nobody had any tampons.

awe that really sucks .... I would have been really mad >:O

I thought it was normal to start at 11/12....
Anyways, I just happened to go to the bathroom one morning, and there were blood spots on my undies. Nothing embarrassing or phenomenal.

I really don't see why a lot of the girls at my school, particularly my friends, make such a big deal out of it.
My friends will always get out of something or make up excuses because they're on their period. Or, they just never do anything.
But I still do the things I love to do. I still play DDR, dance, run, and all that good stuff.

What irritates me the most is when my friends snap at me for something and then say, "Argh, I'm just PMS'ing."
Like, I'm supposed to just ignore their hurtful comment because they're bleeding from their vagina. -.-
It really pisses me off. If I'm angry at someone, it's because I'm legitimately angry at someone. And I don't use "I'm PMS'ing" as an excuse for chewing someone out.
What brats.....

I started mine when I was almost 11, and my god did it hurt. I couldn't go to school and I was mostly stuck in bed sobbing because I was much too sick and in pain to even get up. They even lasted for as long as two weeks.

My school life was hell. >_>

Are you serious? You realize that all women react differently on their periods, right? BUT OH WAIT. For you, it's really nothing more than some blood leaking from your vagina - so it must be that way for everyone else, right? >_> Jeez...

[email protected] OMGOSH thats terrible O.O i have no room to complain anymore O.o

[email protected] wow.... o.O

[email protected] well some girls are fine during their perios, others get really emotional and every little thing is a set off, and still other are in such pain that every little thing bothers them ( would you want someone bothering you when your in pain??)

[email protected] awe that must haave stunk :(

I’m lucky I’ve never had any problems with my period. Last time I had some cramps but they lasted less then an hour. I never get cramps though and m period normally lasts about five days and gets worst on the second day/night.

[sarcasm]Oh periods, such fun times I've had with them. [/sarcasm]
The first time I ever had mine was when I was eleven. I was at a friend's birthday party in a bounce house wearing a lightly colored skirt when one of the guys asked me if I had somehow managed to cut myself on the inflatable because I was bleeding. That was slightly awkward.

Another fun time I had with periods was just recently when I was working with the group of Jr. High girls that I mentor. We were having our group time together when all of a sudden one of the girls who had been complaining of cramps that night stood up and said she felt like she was going to throw up. We didn't manage to get to the bathroom in time for round one of the vomit so it ended up all over the concrete, but we did manage to get to a stall by round two. While I was asking her about how long she had been feeling sick, she just told me that she started feeling it that day and then eventually I was able to work it out that she had been going through her first period so I got to give her a quick version of "the talk" as I held back her hair while she vomited. Yeah... that was fun.

I don't have mine any more. I had too many health problems and now don't have one. Which is sad because I wanted to have kids and I was told I can't have kids.

I got mine in the 5th grade ): It was painful and what not but I got on birth control (to regulate flow) and it's so great now x3

No, it's the way they carry on with it that bothers me, really.
They'll use their period/PMS'ing as an excuse all day, every day, for weeks, even when they're not on their period.

One of my friends loves to pull this particular trick--She'll snap at me, blame it on PMS'ing, then two weeks later, do the exact same thing. And she'll keep doing this. And no, she won't be on her period when she does this most of the time.
But what really gets me is that they expect everyone to be sorry for them during their time-of-the-month.

All women, excluding those on birth control/pregnant/menopausal, etc., etc., etc., go through this. I don't get off all scott-free, either. I have had cramps so bad that I literally could not breath from the pain.
I understand that women have different reactions and problems, but all women have gone through this, and they think they should deserve special treatment because of their pain.

Oh well, call me unsympathetic or misunderstanding, but that's how I feel about it.
