Today, I got my first period. My dad bought me a card and had everyone in my family sign it. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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

Ah! The step into women hood! lol, you're dad only meant well. Men tend to act weird about these things. I remember years ago when I had gotten mine. My mother had past away so my grandmother was the one to head up these kind of things. We were camping and I had gotten my period and got incredibly embarrased... I didn't have any type of product and had to ask my grandma if we could go get some. Embarrased, I whispered, "I need pads." She couldn't understand what I was saying and then yelled out loud what she thought I said, "What? You need knee pads?" When I corrected her, she then yelled loud enough for the campground to hear, "Oh! You need pads! Why not tampons? That way you can still swim!" I had to endure strange looks from the young boy that was about my age in the campsite right next to us. Basically, I guess I'm saying it could always be worse. :-)

why is this posted here? you started your period and your family signed a card. big deal. most girls get a period, just because your family signed a card doesn't make your first period story worthy of being posted here, i don't understand why they let it through.

reading these comments, wtf flowers for starting your period? how ****** up are your families? ahah. i was 9 when i started and coz i shared a bathroom with my whole family then i looked in the cupboard and found some pads and used them. before then i would laugh at my sister when she was on her period and tell her she was wearing a nappy. i think that's whats made her want to use tampons lol.

1. aren't you probably a little too young to be on here? 2. periods suck, and definitely not something to celebrate 3. and why did you tell your dad? my dad still doesn't know i have my period, and i'm 15
