my parents made sure i was educated about puberty. we had all those "what's happening to me?" books. well, i got confused on one section. i thought that having your period was related to masturbation, and if you spent some time on the first day you got it, you could get all the blood out then. Needless to say, i was wrong. man, that made me pissed.
A childhood belief about periods

- I thought Scott Joplin and Janis Joplin were related. Two musicians with the same last name - it made sense!— Rita
- I used to believe period blood came from the nipples. I thought that was what "padded bras" were for!!Anon

- i used to think that the red colourin gon Smarties was made from Beatles blood. In fact, I still do!!— pigsy
