I once saw blood in the toilet and i thought aliens were coming through the toilet killing people

A'Yanna

when my mother finally got around to giving my little brother the 'birds and the bees' talk, she just had to report to me that he had a strange belief... after she got done explaining about a girl's cycle, he asked, 'but why is it blue?' she was very confused for a moment and asked him where on earth he had gotten that idea. he told her on television it was blue, having seen those ads which show a feminine hygine product's amazing absorbancy when dealing with a large quantity of BLUE liquid. poor kid. must have scared him to death of women.

I have 2!! :) Yes, I was a nerd! lol
ok... my brothers are a lot older than me and they were both popular in high school and I was in pre-school then. Well... all the really cute boys from my brothers school would come over all the time and 1 time a tampon commercial came on and I thought that they would all think I was mature and grown up and think that I was really hott if I started talking about using tampons and how it hurt and just a lot of differnt stuff like that. I got into after I dragged out "my" tampon box...

My 2nd story is when I started my period. The day before I had really really bad cramps. I couldn't even get up b/c they hurt so bad. Ijust layed down on my couch and cried all day after school. It was so bad that I thought I was gunna hafta call the hostpital! But anyway I woke up the next morning and looked at my underwear and thought I had pooped my pants. And I didn't want to show my mom b/c I didn't want to get into trouble and I had never pooped my pants before either! lol So I go pee and I wipe my self and I look at the toilet paper and I realize that there is brown stuff on it! SO I think that I am pooping out of my vagina!! SO I start screaming and my mom is in the bathroom with me and she comes running to me and then I realize I started my period so I go... "OOOOooooo..." And then me and my mom cried together cause I was growing up so fast!
Sorry this is so long but I hope that is was entertaining!!!! lol

I never knew that female dogs had periods until my friend told me a few weeks ago... even after she told me, I refused to believe her. It wasn't until I came across this site that I figured, she may have been telling me the truth.

I am a 28 year old female with 2 college degrees!!

When I was little I didn't realize that pee and blood came out of two different holes. I was so confused about how you were supposed to pee when you had a tampon in. I asked my mom and she cleared it all up for me.

My mother always used to tell me not to be afraid when I started to see blood in my underwear. She explained the whole thing about having periods, and it scared me to death. I thought that once you started, you never stopped.

I was looking after a little boy aged 3 and his friend. They went off to play and I later found them in his parents bedroom with his mums tampons and sanitary towels all over the floor, and they were using the tampons as rockets and the san, towels as launch and landing pads!!!!!!!!! They were having great fun!!!!

when i was 13, i was changing for a track meet in the girls bathroom, when a girl i knew walked in, holding a tampon. sill me, growing up with only brothers, didnt know what it was in her hand. the ENTIRE girls track team was in there, getting dressed, when i walked over to the girl with the tampon and asked her "hey! where'd you get that glowstick!?"...i still get laughed at for that to this day

When I was younger, I thought couples had to have sex every day, once a day. However, I couldn't for the life of me figure out what to do when the girl is on her period...

(I hope this isn't offensive.) When I was 10 years old I wanted to go to the neighborhood pool with my friend. She told me she couldn't because she was "on the rag". I said to her, "Tell your mom you'll do the dishes later." I thought that "on the rag" meant that she had dish duty. Haha!

When I was little, I had no idea what a period was. I was really scared to have one. I really couldn't understand how someone could go all day with just a pad or a tampon. I thought that when you had your period you were peeing on yourself all day long.

me and my friend convinced a girl that when you get your period, blood comes out of your belly button and that's where you put a tampon or cover it with a pad.

One time when i was about 9 or 10 i was at my friend's house, and somehow we got onto the topic of periods. My friend said, "My mom got hers the other day, and there were bloody towels in the sink." Then i said, "That's impossible. You stop getting your period after you have babies. Your perioad makes it so you can make babies, so once that's done, so is your period!" My friend believed me and went, "My mom must'va had a nosebleed or something."

fells like an idiot

When I first started getting periods(at age 10 or 11)I always used pads. I always said that I'd never use tampons, my mother never used them so I didn't know how they worked. I thought that because when I wiped my butt while on my period, since there was blood on the toilet paper, if I wore tampons, there would be blood all over the seat of my pants, and if I wanted to prevent it, I'd have to put a tampon up my butt too..

i used to think, for some reason, that you got your period when you were about 13, but finished them when your stopped being a teenager (about 20). i also knew you couldn't get pregnant once your periods had stopped... it never occured to me that my mum was 30 when she had me! luckily, my friend corrected my belief before too long!

hehe

When , as a boy, I first started to hear about the strange phenomena of "periods" I assumed that women all had their monthly cycle on exactly the same day. Yes, all 3 billion...

I read about a girl getting her period in a book. When I asked my sister what it was, she said it's when you pee blood. Close, I guess. Somehow I got the impression that you had your period for seven days, then had one day of relief, followed by another seven days.... Yeah, my mom had a good laugh while explaining THAT.

Older and less confused

I knew a man who never got the sex education in school right. He thought periods were for girls who were sexual active, so virgins didn't get periods.

When I was about 9 and hanging out with the older girls at the boarding school, they were talking about periods of which I knew nothing but pretended I did. They convinced me that boys had periods too and had pads shaped like hot dog buns to fit over their penis to catch the blood. I think I believed that until I was 13!

When I was young, I thought that once a woman got her period, she bled constantly for the rest of her life. I didn't understand why the puberty books contained guidance on how to determine whn your period ends. I was really scared.
