oh yes, i remember at school not being able to go swimming as i was still using pads and wasnt comfortable putting a tampon in me!!! (at that stage anyway!) so i remember having to make up excuses whenever i had my AF and it was swimming classes arrrrgh! and i was a good swimmer so i"m sure the teachers would have known what was going on with me (embarrassing).

I remember with my first period, i had the worst cramps and thought i was going to die!!!! lol remember sitting at lunch time with my friends and i was too embarrassed or scared to tell any of them even tho i'm sure most of them had already had their first period before me lol
