I knew about periods, since alot of girls I knew had one, and my mom had explained that I would start bleeding & etc. But when I first got my period, I started (sorry for being sorta disqusting) "Browning", and at first I just let it go. Then, about a day or two later, it was starting to get alot worse & I litterally thought I was pooing from the front! I was sure that I was seriously dieing, & was crying & saying things like "I can't believe this is happening to me, now I'm going to die, it's not fair!" until my mom smiled & explained that sometimes you "Brown" before you get your period because of the build-up. I feel so stupid now XD
