At my grandfather's funeral.

I stayed in the bathroom crying because I thought I had gotten a disease from the...uhm..remains. I had never been in the same room as a dead person before, so I thought that whatever killed him could be in the air and I could breath it and die. My slightly-older cousin found me, but I didn't tell her,
and it was like two days of stuffing toilet paper in my undies and telling my relatives I loved them before my mom finally figured out what was going on.

No, mine wasn't anything special. It started out light, but the second one got heavy. About two or three years later (when I was 13 or 14) I started getting stomach cramps sometimes as soon as it came.
My first was at home, so it was all good.

It was beyond lame. I had been experiencing these excrutiating yet really bizarre abdominal pains (not unlike labor pains) for a couple years, and the doctors had failed to diagnose what was causing these pains that had me doubling over and curling into the fetal position crying and shaking. I thought I was going to die. Finally the doctors wisened up, and on my 11th birthday I had to have surgery to get my period. It was a beyond bizarre medical condition. I remember staying home for a week and watching tons of Martha Stewart Living on TV. The only thing that made it unbearable was that I missed science camp because of it.

Seriously! Everyone talks about how great science camp was and I'm left completely out of the loop because I never go to go.

D:<

And this one time...at science camp. What a bummer that they waited til then to do the surgery.
How are you doing now?

lol...
Mine was at my cousin's birthday party.
We went bowling, so I wore white pants to look cool in the blacklight.
Let's just say it was really embarassing when she asked
why there were blotches of non-glowyness =|

I started mine at the Great Mall of the Great Plains. HUGE mall in Kansas, I was 9 and we were visiting before heading home. I had been having cramps all day and when I went to the restroom there was blood, I freaked because our school hadn't gone over puberty or anything and my mom had never told me. I ran out and told my mom and she handed me a quarter and told me to but some "napkins" so I ran inside and being the smart little thing I was pulled a bunch of the paper towels (napkins duh!) out and brought them to her, then asked 'now what?' and she had to go in and show me the pad machine. Then while I was taking care of myself she went and told Dad and he couldn't look at me the rest of the day. (He's really weird about girl stuff)

I was 9 and not really expecting it.

In all truth, when I first saw the blood on my underwear it looked like s**t... Not even joking. My periods have very dark brown blood in the beginning. Anyways, I thought I did it in my underwear so I threw it away. The next time I went it was the same way and I started freaking out and threw that pair away, too.

Eventually my mother found out I threw out a good 4 pairs of underwear and figured out what was going on.

I was 11, and it was over the summer in August. Went to pee, found blood on my panties. Told my brother to get my mom [who was outside]. She was teaching me how to put a pad on O_o
Yeah. That's it.

[MiaIkumis#1Fan]

I was weird, because it was... 7th grade? and over the break. My best friend had literally called me 3 days before I got mine saying she got hers. I was like "wow, i wonder when I'll get mine."

And then it happened soon after XD

lucky for me it finished by the time we got back to school... I leak a lot and have to use these huge pads >.<

[imeka]

Wow, waking up and finding out that you have your period seems pretty common, the same thing happened to me in the 5th grade, I already knew what it was because my mom told me about it when I was a lot younger. I woke her up, told her I had my period, she told me how to put it on and then she went back to sleep. I need to use big pads because I leak alot too, but it's only on the first three days, afterwards, one is enough for the entire school day. I have horrible cramps and end up leaving school to go home.

[Doomie Cakes-]

well i got mine just before i went to bed, nothing interesting there. i was a bit freaked, but it wasn't that bad, i knew all about it.

my friend however got hers at our year 7 disco. she was so scared. she didnt have pads or anything. had some with me, luckily, so i gave them to her. although he had a little red stain on her skirt thoughout the rest of the disco.

I'm glad I'm a guy domokun

[Konata_Yui]

I was eleven. I looked in my panties on the toilet, saw blood, then ran to my mom with nothing but a shirt and bra on, yelling in happiness.
