I was in middle school when I started my period. I came home from school and thought that I had pooed my pants. I told my mom about it and that is when she told me that I had started my period. I was and still am a Christian, so my response to my mom was that I thought the rapture would come befor my period came. I was disapointed and angry. I never wanted to have to start my period. Looking back on this, it is quite funny and up untill now this used to only be between my mom and I.
