When I first got my period, I was 13 years old. I was sitting on my front porch with a close girl friend of mine and we were listening to music together, just hanging out. To be honest, I didn’t actually feel my period come. I noticed that it had arrived when I went to the washroom and yes, it had soaked right through my fashionable skin tight jean shorts that were light denim in color with pink roses painted on them. I felt completely humiliated and embarrassed and I wasn’t even sure if my friend would have noticed. I was relieved that my period had come when I was at home and not at school. I was also relieved that I was only around one friend and not many. I prayed that she didn’t notice and that if she did she wouldn’t tell anyone. Now, looking back on the experience, of course my girlfriend wouldn’t have told anyone because she would have likely been just as embarrassed about it as I was.
