On the second-to-last day of camp, I got my period. I didn’t have anything with me at the time, so I borrowed a pad from my bestie. I went into the bathroom to put it on, it was HUGE compared to the ones I usually wear. When my BFF came into the stall next to me, I said, “OMG, this one is huge.” But she didn’t reply! I suck the thing under the wall between our stalls…and then realized it wasn’t my best friend. It was another girl wearing the same shoes. So awkward.

omg girl! when I read your comment, i felt like i wrote it! I had the exact same "symtoms" as you! i got mine at school, but dont worry. people blow your first period WAY out of proportion! when i got mine, i was on the lunch line, and i felt a tiny little "splat" in my panty. when i went to the bathroom, i was like "what the heck? this is what everyone makes a big deal out of? WOW." it was actually kinda funny how dumb i felt for worrying so much before. : ) TIP: if your shy like me, either roll up tissue to put in ur panty for the rest of the day, or wait til their is no one in the nurse's office and then ask for a pad. just make sure you tell your mom not to tell anybody else and dont keep asking "r u okay?" cuz that is SO awkward. lolz. i suggest U by Kotex (ubykotex.com) because they come in smaller sizes for people like us instead of the big uncomfortable ones that tend to feel like a bog ol' diaper. good luck! : )

So sorry! Forgot to mention me crying about the radio would be a mood swing, and when I said just now, white discharge, I meant just now, clear discharge!

MOD This is off subject, but before you get your period, do you get some hair under your arms? Or does that come right after? I woyuld think it comes right after since you get your perid before herimornal changes happen. PS PLEASE!, answer this question-> So, I've been getting discharge for about two years now, white yellow and just now white. My chest is size 30 in bra size and I'm eleven. I get cramps for about ten seconds, then they fade, but sometimes they stay. One time my mom put on music I didn't like, then I started crying without her knowing. My mom and sis got their period at 14 but I got all the signs! Please give me an estimate of when ill get mine! Thanks GL...Please answer~!




Hey girl,

Underarm hair does usually come towards the end of puberty, so most girls develop it after their period. And also, it's really hard to say when you're getting your period because everyone's different, but with all the signs, it definitely sounds like it'll be soon! x0x0
