So once again I haven't actually got a tutorial to give you, but you guys seemed to like the SEX?Seriously??? post so I thought I'd do something similar-ish. Yep, I am going to have that period talk with you guys. Now if there are any boys, I'd suggest you don't read on, this is a girl kind of thing...

So...periods. I'm not going to lie, it is one of the most disgusting things I've ever had to go through. They say it's a 'beautiful' stage of becoming a woman. It's not - they were lying completely. It's all blood and other bodily waste that wants to leave with it - whoever said it was beautiful must have either been blind, or just was not right in the head.
My first period was in school. I was sitting in English and my underwear felt like a full nappy. I thought I had pissed myself. I was just sitting there thinking "how the HELL did I piss myself without realizing?" So I took my bag and asked my teacher if I could go to the toilet and when I got there, to my horror there was blood staring me in the face.
I will admit I was mortified. I had some pads so I made the best attempt I could to clean up the mess my body had left for me without any kind of warning and put a pad on to try and cover the evidence. I felt like crying. I found my chummie and whispered "I've started my period" and then went to the Welfare and told the lady there that I was technically a woman now and would like to go home. So she let me.
I got on the bus to go home and I don't know why, but I thought that everyone on the bus knew I was on my period and if I got off the bus they'd all piss themselves laughing at me on my period. Don't ask me why I thought that, I don't know how everyone that I saw that day, that I'd never seen in my life before that day, would know that I was on my period - my mind just said "EVERYONE KNOWS" and I believed it.
I went home and gorged out on chocolate in my bed with a mug of hot chocolate and a Hottie (it's a toy, but instead of stuffing inside - it's a microwavable bag so it's a soft animal that's really warm) and I used my laptop, watched TV and slept, and constantly changed the pad I was wearing for a new one because I didn't want to leak on my bed - even though I was using the night ones that wouldn't ever let you leak if you were awake and using them because they are basically the bottom part of a nappy.
I got the last two days of the week off so I had a long, bloody weekend. I am just going to say, no matter how prepared you think you are for your period, you will never be prepared when it actually comes.
I hope that my first experience has made you feel better about having a period. Because IT WILL HAPPEN - unless you're a boy...because boys can't do that.
That's it
