Mine is more or less like your story. Except for the "getting overly excited for nothing" part. I didn't know what the hell was going on but my mom was freaking out. I was 10 when I got mine. I didn't fully understand what it was until...actually, I'm a bit embarrassed to say...my senior year of high school. Yes, laugh at me. I live in a very sheltered home (curses) but I have very knowledgeable friends who've taught me well [^^]

I was 13. A week before that day, I was in the bathroom going poop, and when I wiped, I thought I was on my period, but it was actually my a**s bleeding a little bit.

Then a week later on December 28th, 2003 (I still don't know why I remember the date I had it), I go to the bathroom in the morning, and after I wiped, I saw heavier blood from before, and I told my mom. She asked, "Is it not your a**s this time?"

Nope, it wasn't. xd

(Yes, I am a female.)

I got mine in my freshman year of high school... I was fourteen. I had P.E. and I was just a'runnin' and whatever, but I felt something... weird. I thought maybe I had s**t myself or something, because it was the WEIRDEST SENSATION like I had peed, but not out of the right place. Gross. Anyway. I went to the bathroom and I saw the blood on my underwear and I THOUGHT I WAS DYING.
I don't know why, really. I was such a spaz. A period was not my first thought. Dying was. Heh. I thought it was like my organs bleeding out or something.
Anyway, the next night there was this HUUUUGE thunderstorm and my mom was all, "KIDS, GET IN THE BASEMENT RAWRAWR." but I realized I had bled again, and then I'm like,
"WAIT. I THINK I KNOW WHAT THIS IS."
(I am seriously slow.)
So I told my mom, "I think I started my period."
And she's like, "...Oh."
"Yeah."
"Uh. Do you have stuff for it? Like... I know they gave you stuff in health..."
"Yeah, I got... stuff. Not much though."
"I'll buy you some tomorrow."
"Thanks."

It was super awkward. My first period was irregular and lasted like two days, and then the next one was SO BAD I stayed in bed the whole first day. And it was Christmas. D:

Creepy.

Mine was nothing special.
Saturday morning in March as of three years ago.
Woke up, went pee, saw blood, told my mom,
she gave me some pads.

=P

[alwaysanonymous]

I started on my 12th birthday...

Then my mom cussed because she didn't have the money to go out and buy pads.

Not a good experience...it's been horrible ever since.

[ToastedSkin]

Ha.
Not much to say about mine.
First day of the 7th grade.
I was already really stressed.
And that just added to the fun!

[Pyreon-Sam]

Hm.. I was coming home from 5th grade one day, I think I was in my mom's car.. and when I got home, I looked down and I had a huge orange stain on my pants. D=

Then my mom was all happy and excited.. ._. Totally embarrassing, glad no one else was in my house..

Not as funny as it could've been, though..

[QuantumFusion]

I was 13?
I told my mom and she's was like "OMG! YOU'RE TOO YOUNG FOR THIS TO BE HAPPENING TO YOU!"
Thanks for the support.

Same...
I was going to the bathroom one Sunday morning in 5th grade, about to get ready for church... I look down and I'm like "WTF WTF WTF BLOOD OHMYGOD I"M DYING!!? WHAT IS THIS??!!!" I started crying for my mom... it took her like 10 minutes before she noticed and dropped by for an explanatory visit. I guess she didn't think I could've bled to death in that time. Hmph.

[lennilovesya]

At least you guys told your moms.
I was like ten, and I thought I pooped myself.
Then I was like, "Oh crap, I'm to young!"
And the only person that was home was my dad.
So I was just like, "Daddy, either I pooped myself or I've started my period."
He didn't really seem "Excited".
He was just like, "Go use on of your moms pads."
So I did.
Awkward right?
eek eek eek

I was 13 at the time, in the summer between 8th and 9th grde, and I felt something... off in my underwear, so I went to the bathroom, and my panties had brown stains. D':

I told my mom the next day and she bought me a shitload of pads.

Edit:

Ten days before my 12th birthday, I went to the school bathroom before the bus came, I looked down and saw blood in my undies, and stains on my pants, I panicked even though I already had a puberty talk at my school (which was very hilarious xD), I even called my mom on my friends cell phone. At first i was sort of proud then I was just like,
"Oh dang it! Now I'll be bleeding for God knows how long?!" Dx
My mom only had tampons, so toilet paper came in handy. Very uncomfortable. xPP

December 11th.


I prefer Tampons. =P

I have not got mine yet.
I'm 13;

Most of you guys started young://

it's cause you're so damn skinny.
you usually don't get your period
until you're about 105 lbs. regardless
of age.

Haha, I got mine 2 days ago... sad
AND I'm only 93 lbs. D:


I was at school the whole day and I just felt drop,drop and I just thought it was sweat. Well, about 8:30 pm, I was getting ready to shower, and BAM! I looked down, and I'm like "Oh Mah God. I just started. SHT!" I just started laughing and crying, and my mom pissed herself.
I'm home right now on my heaviest day. Waaaaaaaaaah!

[velours rouge]

I was... 12? Yes, that's about it.
(Also, I was about 80 pounds when I started, so I'm either unlucky, or that "The fatter you are, the sooner you start your period." isn't true. Also, I'm very short for my age, so that might be a factor. I'm 4 foot 8. Yes, I know. I'm short.)
I think it was about November 7th.
I had already got that brown colored stuff in my panties, but I never got the blood. About 2 months later, I was changing my panties, and I just happened to look down, and there it was.
A huge blood stain. I was like, "Ohhhhh s**t." I freaked out, but I calmed myself, and went into the bathroom calmly. I stuffed some toilet paper down there, and life was good. I never told my Mom until a month later, when it decided to become regular. :B

For extra fun, I'll tell you how I told my Mom:
Me: Hey, Mum...
Mom: Yes? (She was wrapping Christmas presents)
Me: You know those things... At the end of sentences... What are those called again?
Mom: Periods?
Me: Yeahhhh... About that... I started mine.
And then she taught me how to use pads. She had these cute little pads that fit my panties just right for some reason. <3
