I got my first period when I was 9. I blame drinking hormone filled cows milk as a child. That day I had a friend sleeping over and I woke and went to the bathroom to find that my undies and pajamas and legs were covered. It looked like I had a murder in my pants. So I sat there screaming with the door locked and I wouldnt let anyone in. I knew where my mom kept her pads but they were far too large for me. Hers were 14 inches long and 2 inches thick. My friend called for my mom who went to the store to pick up some appropriate supplies. After that we had hot cocoa, ice cream, and made cookies so we could eat the cookie dough. I felt really awful that day, but I had a lot of fun with my mom and my friend too. When my friend started hers a year later she called me over for support. I made sure to bring some cookie dough and ice cream.
