A childhood belief about periods

When I was about 12, I started my period. My mom had not told me about it yet, because she didn't start until she was 14, so she figured I wouldn't. Needless to say, I thought that I was dying! I didn't tell her for a few days, stuffing toilet paper in my panties. I was so scared! I thought I had a disease. Finally I got scared enough to tell her that I was bleeding down there, and she was all like ," Oh, that's normal"
