I had gotten my first period when I was 13 and I was at volleyball practice. I had felt something come out of my vagina and I ran to the bathroom and I saw all this brown stuff in my underwear. I was terrified. I thought I had a pooping problem since it was brown. I didn't even think it was my period. The thought never even crossed my mind. So, I waited about 2 days to see if it would stop and it didn't so I decided to tell my mom. I was SO relieved when I found out it was just my period.
