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

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. :)

haha slightly embarassing..in some cultures they let the whole family know and there's a big ceremony for it, so you should at least be happy that didnt happen to you lol.

Omg your life sucks sooo bad. I mean some people are fortunate enough to have their dads beat them or abandon them, but poor you, your dad is thoughtful and shows he cares. Aww. -_-

what is it with everyone! yes, there is always worse than every FML on here, but this girl probably isn't more than thirteen and at that age, everything feels like it's the end of the world, even though it's not. she's embarrassed, let her vent. geez, get a sense of humor or something. it sounds like everyone one here has bad PMS

That's exactly why 13 year olds shouldn't be allowed to post shit on the internet.

I could say the same about bitchy people or trolls but... Fact is there's ALWAYS someone out there with a worse problem. Looking at someone with a small stab wound and saying, "well some people are shit!" Doesn't make it go away. FML is mostly full of funny or embarrassing situations, not serious. If you are going to bitch about other people complaining about problems you personally don't see as problems on an app that's for exactly that, maybe this app isn't for you.

YDI. Grow the **** up. It's just your period. If your family all gives you a card when you hit menopause, then come cry about it.

You should be happy your family cares.

Actually people see it as taboo to talk about defecating. Inside of just saying, "I need to poop." They have come up with #2, drop the kids off at the pool, etc. Why? Everyone poops, just like all women have periods. That is why SOMAgirl is right.

What? That's still talking about ********, and putting a twist on it. You know, trying to be funny? In fact, my father and I actually prefer to say "Dropping the Cosby kids at the lake" because the pool's closed for black kids! ... Ahem. "Today, my aunt flo came and turned me into a Communist." Period joke. I once screamed at my mother "PERIOD MONSTAH" when she was getting exceptionally easily annoyed that day. My uncles heard me. Period joke. I am not ashamed nor sexually repressed, I'm making a joke. Just like I joked about my taking a shit. Jokes in fairly poor taste, in fact. ;P It's tons of fun, you should try it. But it doesn't matter, as it IS still a private thing, and people are embarassed when their private things are revealed, even when they do it themselves, as I said. It's normal to feel a little embarassed, especially the first time, especially when your dad pulls a silly stunt like that. Later on, OP is going to be joking about it, too. Just because she is embarassed her father actually made her a card, doesn't mean she is sexually repressed and all that. Seriously. Embarassed doesn't always equal ashamed, by the way. You're embarassed a lot by little things. You blush for a lot of reasons.
