Today, I got my first period. My dad bought me a card and had everyone in my family sign it. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste
Today, I got an electric razor and a lesson from my dad on how to shave my mustache and chin. I also got my period. FML
Today, at a family reunion, my dad announced to everyone that I'd finally started my menstrual cycle. My grandmother started sobbing hysterically. FML
Today, I found my daughter sobbing and trying to stick a wad of gauze to her vagina. She was having her first period. FML
Today, it's my birthday. I got a graphing calculator and my period. FML
Friends
Today, I just got my first period. My mother has been dead for years and my stepmother genuinely wishes I was dead, so who am I supposed to tell? FML
Today, I got a birthday card from my parents. It was my sister's from earlier in the year. They scratched out her name and wrote mine underneath. FML
Cycles of life
Today, my daughter got her first period. I'm the one shaking and hyperventilating. I'm more nervous for her than I was for myself back when I got my first period. I just now understand my mom while she was pacing through house back and forward when I got my first. FML
PSA
Today, my mom made a Facebook post about me starting my period and for everyone to be nice to me. FML
Today, I called my mom to tell her that I finally got my period. There was an awkward pause. She was at work. I was on speakerphone. FML
Today, my mum, who always wanted more kids than just me, started crying because I'm not pregnant with her first grandchild yet. I'm 16, and this all started because I got my period and I asked to borrow one of her tampons because I'd ran out of my own. FML

nobody has a ceremony for having your period in india. and yes, i am indian if it weren't obvious from my username. in fact, people avoid mentioning that subject all together. periods are thought of as dirty and you're not supposed to go to the temple when you're on your period. OP, it's embarrassing now, but a couple of years later, you'll look back on it and laugh. besides, it's just family. there aren't any secrets in family anyhow

Actually I am Indian but live in America and a friend of my family's had a ceremony party thing when she got hers... Some people do it some don't (thank god my family doesn't!) But yeah that's really awkward! Oh well just be happy it's over

Seriously, I don't get the big deal about first periods. It's not like anyone makes a massive fuss when a guy gets his first boner.

#256 it's usually considered a big thing because it means you're officially a woman when your period comes. You can now make babies and your body has matured

Oh shit . LOL . Now everyone knows the big news, huh !?

If you're barely getting your period, why are you on this website? It's supposed to be for adults.

#167, your a ******* idiot and clearly skipped health class. Girls can get there periods as late as into there twenties. Besides I know some younger kids who are more ******* mature then people my age.
lolwut_fail 0
You clearly skipped English class. There's a difference between "your" and "you're" as well as "their," "there" and "they're." You're the ******* idiot. :)

Oh baby... Another case of someone making an honest grammatical mistake then subsequently being attacked through flaming posts from people with no lives. Wooo!

yay you are one of the people who can actually read the post for what it is and not get all in defense mode because of some simple grammar mistakes. I thought I was the only one. lol

Yeah I agree. I thought it was kind of sweet. It's awkward but he had good intentions behind what he did!

It's good to appreciate the things you already have, but the funny thing is, nobody sits there everyday being all careful of what they say and always thinking about those who are less fortunate.

Oh, your life is so ******, you poor thing. Your dad got you a card, oh my god how dare he. Grow the **** up.
bholland16 0
You can tell her to grow up, but she's probably only 13... so it's going to be a while until she grows up. For now, she's a drama queen.
H3ALTHFR3AK 0
lol kapowi she's probably not even a teenager yet. that's not a nice way to talk to a child
ttorigibson 2
Considering this is her first period I doubt she's even a teenager, so yes it would be awkward for her dad to know about something 'private' she probably doesn't fully understand herself yet. Though she's lucky her dad actually has some interest in her personal life, my dad still cringes when I mention the word 'tampon', or even 'cramps'.

my sister got her first period when she was 17, my friend got it at 10.
chocolatepr 4
why do we care?
missalkali 8
I think her point was that its not just preteens getting their first period. sometimes the person can be a lot older
Colouringg411 0
Well when i first got mine my mom phoned everyone in our family even if they were at work
ttorigibson 2
Yeah, my Mum told my Grandma, then my Grandma told the rest of my family within the hour... even second cousins who I'd met about twice in my life.
KHunnyBear 2

Says someone who just called a thirteen year old a toddler. Toddlers are usually between the ages of 1 and 3.

Some girls like to make a big announcement of their period. I've read FMLs on here that instead of a cake for someone's birthday, the family buys a cake for their sibling's first period. He probably thought you wanted people to know... Dads are so weird like that :)
DncrHap 9
Uhm. Why is that even an issue? This is /so/ not a FML. "OHEMGEE! NOW MY ENTIRE FAMILY KNOWS ABOUT MY YOU-KNOW-WHAT!!" C'mon people, seriously?

The thing is, most girls are young, insecure, and immature when they get their first period. I got mine when I was 12 and it was so sudden and upsetting that I didn't tell my mom until a full day after it started. It could have been worse for her, but it also could have been a lot better.
tomakobriefs 11
I got you beat: I waited three days to tell my mother. And she wouldn't get off the internet long enough to give me the time of day to talk to me. She yelled at me for bothering her. I was also 12.
