I had no sisters and my mom didn't really feel the need to talk to me about my period at the age of 9. So when I did get it (I was 9 at the time) I though I was dying, I starting crying and yelling for my mom as I sat on the toilet....hahaha
A childhood belief about periods

others believed things like this
- I used to beleive when ppl didn't talk (deaf ppl) they lost their voice and could never talk again!— Tiara 10
- I used to think that oral sex was when you had sex with a dentist!
HAHAHA!— Kylee - I used to believe that my dog could speak English, but he just didn't feel like it.— Mariah
- Once I thought these two teenagers who used to wash my mums car lived in our attic. Hahaha!— Roxanne
- I thought that your period came out all at once and you had to wear a pad around the time it would come.— Sarah
- My mom told my sister that if she didn't eat her peas, her period would last for an entire month.— Maya
