Halloween
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. :)

Sorry I really think that was really sweet!! He was trying to celebrate you becoming a woman! I remember when my mom asked my Dad to go to the store for pads/ tampons for me, & when he asked what kind I needed, I told him I didn't need anything like that, I was so embarrassed !!! He then explained to me that he'd been helping my Mom with such things for almost 20 years , so not to feel awkward about it! After it was put to me like that I realized that I didn't need to feel bad at all!! My Mom & Dad were a great source of support during my bad PMS days !!!

Don't worry, my Mum told my Dad - very loudly, and told me that in some countries they have massive celebrations when this happens........ :P But sweet that they care :)

I didn't think it was healthy for 17 year olds to start their period so late. Damn.

When my mom had started hers my grandma baked her a cake and threw a party for her. Every time I hear that story I ask if it was a strawberry cake.

Can I just say to all the people commenting, I've noticed a lot of you are males so you obviously don't get it! How would you like it if your mom got a card when you got your first erection or wet dream? Thought so, lol.
