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

Actually, as the OP said she "got her period" i.e.; started it, the odds would be much lower. If she was regular as clockwork at 28 days per cycle, that would be 13 times a year, which means there would be a 3.6% chance the first day of a period would coincide with her birthday, meaning it happened roughly once every 28 years. Bloody statistics...

If you're into maths/science, a calculator is an extremely useful present. As for the period part, well, you either will get used to it, or you should be by now. Though if you're unlucky enough to get seriously ill each month, then I can understand why you're complaining about that.

Oh, boo ******* hoo, OP. Every single other female on the planet gets a period, just like you. & those calculators aren't cheap. Be greatful that you actually have someone that is willing to buy you expensive shit. Do you know how many children there are around the world who don't have that luxury? Have a lovely birthday. c:

Seriously? I hate being a female because others like you make us look like complaining bitches. You got a $100 calculator and you're period. Millions of girls get theirs on their birthday.

Exactly. It seems OP is one of those females who makes males think they can be sexist assclowns all the time, because they think we're "always complaining."

Same exact thing happened on my 15th birthday. At first I had the same "fml" attitude you seem to have. But: 1- Be grateful for the graphing calculator. I honestly regret acting upset after my parents gave it to me. Truthfully, it has been one of the most beneficial gifts I have ever received and most graphic calculators cost over $100. So it's a not a cheap gift. You will appreciate it, I promise.  2- The period thing... suck it up. Your a girl, time to get used to it. If you really find it that big of a problem having you period on your birthday, get birth control. With birth control you can manipulate your period a lot. It is wonderful. If you can't do that then don't whine. Your not alone. Yes, periods suck but it's a waste of time complaining about something you can't really change unless you want to get your uterus removed.
