A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

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

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 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

Oh, God, your life SUCKS. My dad wouldn't even want to KNOW I started my period. :) He'll just have my mom take care of it. :)

Orangefizz, I was 13 when I got mine and I never told my mom when I got my period haha, aboutmy second or 3rd period I was emptying out my trash and my mom saw all my used pads.. What a great way to find out lol. If my dad knows I've gotten my period he sure hasn't mentioned it to me. And whoever says there are no secrets in family, are sadly mistaken haha. My friend just got her first period today and she's 15.

In many countries, especially those of predominantly pagan religions, your first period is considered a right of passage and is celebrated. Many Native American tribes actually hold giant 2-3 day festivals for these. Consider yourself lucky. In other parts of the world, genital mutilation is considered the right of passage.

LMFAO! That happend to me too! I got out of the bath to see my mother, father and brother giving me a card reading 'congradulations on being a woman!', but at least I got Lindor Chocolates and flowers. Lol. Most akward time of my life, I bet I was as red as a tomato.
