So basically I just got mine today (april 4 2025) I'm 13 about to turn 14 on the 21st. I went to my first period ( no pun intended) math and I took a quiz. I had to pee so I went to the restroom. When I wipe I always check for some reason but this time when I wiped it was blood. I almost passed out I thought it was a dream! I felt so woozy and unreal after. Everytime I go to the bathroom and wipe its blood and brown discharge. It wasn't scary at all but I did have this HUGE pad on and I felt like I was wearing I diaper. For all the girls out there be prepared. P.S. I ovulated like 7 days before this happened so watch out for that too ovulation is basically discharge but that's something you ask a trusted adult. Don't rush it just try to get your mind off of it

Be prepared

I have an old pencil case that I keep in my bag filled with period products (pads, tampons, wipes, spare underwear). It was a pencil case because then if anyone asked I would just say “ oh that’s just my pencil case I keep some markers / pens / whatever in it.” I’ve had it in my bag since I was 10 and I never needed it until this week when I went to the toilet realized that I had got my period, walked back into the class to get my ‘pencil case’ and all was fine. My tip would be *drum roll please*………….………………………………………be prepared!!! I hope this helps and makes anyone who was worried about getting it in school realize that 99.9% of the time tends to work out for people and that there is nothing to worry about! Thanks :)

So yeah, some advice. . . . Bring like some pads/tampons with you wherever you go bc with me I was caught off guard. Also drinking tea or chocolate (not really sure about that one) but whatever you want.Bye, dudes! Hope this helped : )

I got my period on Saturday (which I guess is kinda good) and the day b4 I went to Boots to buy panty liners cos ive been having discharge for about a year or so. (Back to Saturday) I woke up and I decided to get a panty liner on cos they r comfortable for discharge when i noticed these dark red (like maroon - ish) stains of blood. So i told my mum and she gave me the stuff and showed me how to do it even though i already knew how. Also, starting with pads is probably easier for most people (but like that is what i did).

I’m 15 and i’m kinda freaked out that i STILL don’t have my period. I keep seeing people say how they got it at 10 or how they were a ‘late bloomed’ and got it at 13. Im a healthy weight and started puberty at 10. I’ve always had small boobs and still do now bc im a 30B. I feel like such a baby and get teased by my friends! I’ve been told ‘oh well u are SO flat chested’ and ‘that’s like really bad id be concerned if i were u’. Like yeah im worried and im really scared for when it will eventually come bc leaking at 15 would be really embarrassing. I say this because all my friends would be used to periods and i wouldn’t. PLEASE can anyone who ACTUALLY gor their period really late respond bc i am worried and do feel like im weird!!!!

When I first started my period I was the first of my friend group also thought it would hurt. But I didn't experience any pain or anything just the blood. Also luckily for me I was prepared I learned from typing it in the Internet and I was prepared I luckily had pads in my bag in case the pads felt luke a diaper but I adjusted to them quickly. And yeah from then on my periods only lasted 2-3 days no cramps pain-free and are regular.
