Today, I found my daughter sobbing and trying to stick a wad of gauze to her vagina. She was having her first period. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
Today, my daughter got her first period, so I went and got some products for her, certain that I knew what was needed. The lady cashier took one look in my basket and sympathetically asked if it was my daughter's first period and if I wanted help, since I clearly had no idea what I was doing. FML
Today, my daughter said she would never ever have kids because then she'll bleed through her vagina or get stitches on her stomach. She turned 7 last week and learnt this at school from friends. I'm yet to have the "periods" talk with her. Now I'm scared to start it. FML
Today, I got my first period. My dad bought me a card and had everyone in my family sign it. FML
Today, I asked my dad to take me to the store so I could get some feminine hygiene products. When we got there, he went running down the aisles yelling, "Help! My daughter's bleeding to death! Where're the tampons?!" FML
Today, I found out my 12 year old daughter is going through a bit of an "emotional" stage. I got a call from her school saying she was sitting in the corner at recess trying to cut her wrist. With a plastic spoon. FML
Today, I overheard my 14-year-old daughter telling her friend that she's saving money to get her hymen surgically removed so her first time won't hurt. FML
Today, my stepdaughter unexpectedly got her first period during a visit. I explained everything to her, then took her to the store to buy supplies and snacks. Her mother called and cussed me out for “stealing” this experience from her. Yeah I totally planned it to happen this way. FML
Today, my mom sat on a pencil and started bleeding. She then made me clean the wound on her butt and put ointment on it. FML
Today, I found out that I puke and then pass out at the sight of blood. I am a 16 year old girl expecting hundreds of periods to come. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

um, maybe you shouldve taught her about her about her body?

**** your daughters life. I'm a guy and I can't imagine bleeding out in my genital area and not knowing what the ***** going on just imagine all the things that could be going through her head. I'd do more than cry. You should have taught her about periods atleast. I can't blame you though because she might still be young and you couldn't have known that it would come so soon

Ydi for not talking to your daughter about it sooner

YDI, F her life. You should have taught her about it and prepared her. I dunno if she's just younger than normal but you should have taught her at a young age, it's not that uncommon for girls to get it at 8 or 9.

Is your name Margaret White, and is your daughter's name Carrie? How old is she? A lot of girls are getting their periods at younger ages now, some as young as nine or ten. So she probably should have gotten a talk about that. Not necessarily the sex talk yet, but at least the period talk. And usually schools have some video they show girls at certain ages explaining that as well.

Perhaps you should have "the talk" with her?

Maybe you should have told her about the changes her body would go through as she grows up.

I got mine before my 3 year older sister did and I forgot for minute what was going on, but my mom talked to us about it when I was 5 or 6. ydi for not talking to her about it! it's a natural part of her growing up and she had a right to know and not think she was dying or something!

You should have told her what to expect well before that happened. I feel so sorry for her!

If that doesn't accurately describe a period, I don't know what does
