Girls, how did you react to your first ever period?
Awkward question I know, but my recent monthly visitor made me realise - even after decades of having it I still haven't figured it out.
In my case, I thought I had hurt myself. Like how kids fall and knee bleeds but the blood stops after a while. Thought I was 'old' enough to handle it Somehow this didn't stop, I panicked and went crying to mom. I cried even more when mom said, this will continue every month for almost half my life 😫
Sorry but hurt myself part is really funny. Although as a guy, I want to ask. What's your advice if a girl is going through periods (ofc my gf, if I ever have one lol) my ex gf had period pain and I couldn't help cuz I didn't know anything all I said was "DRinK waTEr" I know nothing about periods only from biology books, which is menstrual cycle and it's timeframe. What's your advice how should I had helped her during periods?
I couldn't figure out where exactly I had hurt myself so I came out screaming out of the bathroom 😂 My mom shushed me and I hugged her tight throughout the night 🥺
I thought I had shit my pants. And that too some really bad stuff. First period was brown black. So I did not figure it out to be blood. I was expecting red blood for my period (I was already told to expect blood by that age and was prepared for periods).
Anyways, I didn't tell my mother and kept washing my clothes for two days on my own till my mother figured it out.
Is this the right to platform to discuss ?
Which is the right platform then?
My first periods started when I was in school. I was attending a class, and sitting on the first bench, right in front of my teacher. Firstly I couldn't understand what's happening that's not under my control? Am I peeing in my pants? I stood up for something, and it started again. It was such a confusing situation. Fortunately the flow was less. Went home and asked mom what's happening, and then it never stopped 😐
I hated it. It felt like a burden and doom.
