I was twelve and on summer vacation, with lots of traveling and hotels. I had been noticing this gross crusty brown stuff in my underwear the previous day, but feared I was just having major failure with wiping or something. sweatdrop The next morning, I went to the bathroom and wiped and there was finally blood. I woke up my mom and said, "Uhh, mom? I think I got my period. o.o" She gave me a pantyliner thing and bought me some pads.
It sucked because when we were at Disneyland the next few days I couldn't go on any of the water rides.
And I really wanted to be one of those people who didn't get theirs for forever so I didn't have to deal with it, since I'm not planning on getting pregnant until I'm an adult.
But luckily I don't really get any cramps or anything with mine. Just annoyance and blood. >.<
