I used to believe that when you had your period you would bleed out of a hole in your skin, kind of at the bottom of your tummy. I thought when it happened to me i would just use a band-aid to stop the bleeding. my friend told me it happened in year 4 so I dreaded year 4 for many years. I also thought it only ever happened once. (if only it were true.) I soon figured out it happened every month but still thought it was a one day event so when I got my period for the first time that night I didn't use a pad because I thought it was all over. I had a rude awakening.
