Backstory
1st time getting my period, 8th grade; mom didn't show how to "correctly use equipment"

Why is this mortifying?
My crush since 3rd grade saw the spot & so did everyone else in class

Mortifying Text
So, I started my period during a weeknight right after dinner. All my mom had was those mammoth pads she would use that didn't even have a sticky side (why wasn't she with the times?!?) My neighbor had some huge maxi that felt like a diaper, but looked like I dropped a load. My mom didn't want to run out to buy me something that night, so you'll be fine" she tells me. I was fine through the night but then had to go to school. Put a new pad on (thankfully my neighbors at least had the sticky stuff). I put it more towards the front so it wouldn't look like I dropped a load. went to school & stayed through morning classes---small school no changing of rooms. Time for lunch, I stand up & that's when I feel wetness where it shouldn't be. I leaked!!! I leaked so bad some was left on the wooden school chair. My crush of all time ---B.T. --- just asked, staring in disbelief "what's that red stuff?"

Ugh. I feel your pain. I leaked once, too and got caught by a boy. Still makes me cringe to this day.

Orangina is right. This is in the top 3 of a woman's worst nightmare. It happened to a middle-aged woman at my job! Be glad you were in school. And clearly B.T. has no understanding of a woman's body. You are lucky you missed out on him.

I so feel your pain...First day of sixth grade. I had started and didn't even know it. Came home from school to find that the ENTIRE back of my shorts was red.

This happened to me, too! I was wearing a white skirt... ugh, and right in front of the guy I was starting to date. He didn't say anything, but my brother told me to go change AFTER my boyfriend had left... :S

This happened to me as well. The rudest boy in class pointed it out to all the other kids while I was playing on the monkey bars. I still dislike him to this day......12 years later!
