When I was in 4th grade I used to believe that Once you got your period you had it until menopause. I told my friend this and she reassured me that it only came once a month. For some reason I thought that meant you had your period for one whole month and then didn't have it the next and so on. I finally found out it only lasted a week out of every month in 5th grade after the growing up talk at school. Oh was I releaved.
