This is the story of my first period. I had my first period at age 11 and 1/2. One sunday morning I was making breakfast for my family around 6:30 am. The night before I was having cramps, I have had dischage since I was 10 and have to wear a bra or well you understand. So I was having cramps the night before. I was making oatmeal with water, I felt something wet so I thought it was water or discharge. I felt my pajama pants and it was not what I expected. I ran to the bathroom and I saw a heavy flow of my first period! I woke up my grandma and told so we went to get pads and everything else. But the next day I missed school because of really, really bad cramps. That is my story!
