I think I was 14. I remember it was April but not 100% if it was yr 9 or 10. I am pretty sure it was yr 10 though. So would have been about 3 months before my 15th birthday. The only reason I can remember for sure is it doesn't seem right that I was sexually active so soon after if I was in yr 10 when I got them....
I remeber the day clearly though. I was in the last class of the day & felt "wet" so I asked to go to the toilet & my heart just sank when I sat down on the loo. Even worse was I happened to go into a toilet with NO TOILET PAPER!!!! I managed to scoot to the next toilet that did have paper & cleaned up as much as I could & left a wad of paper in my nickers. Then when I got home Mum wasn't home only my step dad. I use to get "Dolly" & "Girlfriend" mags & I had one that came with a free pad so I grabbed that & went & cleaned up. I just threw my undies in the bin.
WHen my mum came home I burst into tears & begged that she didn't tell my grandma. For months after mum would talk openly about her AF & ask if I had mine also. Also offered to show me how to use tampons, by which I was so mortified I just said NO WAY. Going shopping with her I use to avoid that aisle because I was so embarresed when she would ask if i needed anything. She use to ask if I needed any Doodads LOL. Both my older sisters didn't share this time with mum so I got to have all the attention mum was just waitin gto share with her daughters x3.

I hope I can mae my DD's feel comfortable enough about it that its not such a big deal when it happens.

LOL I just remembered too, i use to wish for big boobs but without gettin gmy period. LOL
