when i was little i thought a period would consist of a very small droplet of blood.. looking like a punctuation mark. i wanted to be more 'grown up' so i would take a red marker and make a dot on my panties .. assuming that my mother would see it and realize i had started getting my period. she never said a word, and i'm sure she probably never even noticed it was there.
if only i'd been right

- In 6th grade, I thought that once you got your period, you'd have it forever!!!! 24/7Anon
- I thought that your period came out all at once and you had to wear a pad around the time it would come.— Sarah
