when i was a bit younger and in the 5th grade my best friend had just gotten her period. and i wasn't completly sure what it was. and i remember her saying she had to wear a pad. and so i thought that once you got your period, it stayed with you forever. so i was sooooo scared to get it. cause i just thought that you would have to wear a pad until you were an old old lady. and so i was scared that once i got it, i'd never be the same. and so i "cherished" my time period free.....
* i learned the truth in the 7th grade when we had to watch the sex video..ahahaha*
