When we were all 12 or so and getting our periods for the first time there was one girl in our group who hadn't started yet and as it was a big thing for the rest of us we were constantly talking about it...so once all of us had started but one she came to me one day and told me she had her period and could she borrow a pad. I asked her a little later how it was and she said it was alright but the pad was sticking to her and made it uncomfortable to walk...she'd stuck it to herself and not her underpants.
As it turned out she was so desperate to be just like the rest of us that she pretended to have her period but had no idea what to do....Were we really that clicky back then?
