i used to think, for some reason, that you got your period when you were about 13, but finished them when your stopped being a teenager (about 20). i also knew you couldn't get pregnant once your periods had stopped... it never occured to me that my mum was 30 when she had me! luckily, my friend corrected my belief before too long!
