I was 11 years old & just started my first period & the next day at school, it was my turn to use the restroom if I needed to, & I made this stupid mistake of taking my pad with me & on my way back to class, one boy asked, "You wear those thingie?", & I said yes & he said "Eww", & almost everyone in the 4th & 5th grade knew about my first period & 1 boy asked, "Did you cut yourself in the bathroom?", then again, I made the mistake of telling one of my friends on the phone & she blabbed to some of her friends. That's embarrassing.
