getting your period
Getting your period can be an amazing or scary thing. Now if you're a guy, sorry you can read this but you not be able to relate to any of these things! I was 10 when I got my period and I knew about it but didn't know that it would happen to me. My Mom said that she got hers when she was 13-14 so I thought that I would have a couple more years but on December 5th, 2016 I got it. The only parent in the house was my dad, my mom was at the store. I said to my dad my vagina is bleeding and he texted my mom that she should get some pads just in case I had started.
I didn't know what to look for to see if I had cut myself inside or what (yes I was a very smart 10-year-old thank you very much). My mom came home and looked at my polka dot undergarment and clarified that I had started. Then I asked my friends the next day if they had started their period. Only one girl said yes, out of 20. It was interesting to be one of the only 10-year-old in my class to have my period. Then when I left public school I got hit was a ton of hormones. Not the good kind, the ones that make you cry when you forgot to do the laundry.
That lasted for about a year and then I learned how to control it, having my period earlier than other girls has made me more mature and more aware of what my body is going through. Then you have 30 more years, or more go by and all of a sudden you slowly get to the point where you miss period after period and that is called menopause. Now I haven't had menopause yet because I'm only 13 but I know it can be hard for most women to go through. Either you've had a kid or a few more or you're not interested in them. But when you have menopause it sometimes hit you like a brick wall that you will never have another kid or you will never have one. That can be a time where girls get semi-depressed because they don't get greeted by Aunt Flo every month. You remember the times when you were in your 20's and you had a leak and you wished you never had your period but when it actually happens it pretty sad.
