I used to believe that when you started your period it was just minute. So I started my period at church and thought no more about it (I was 11)when I went to the restroom there was blood in my panties so I said no big deal. So I went back to sit down. When church was over I got up and blood was all on the seat and my close. I was embarrased to tell someone.
