GIRLZ n GUYZ: ARE U WILLING TO TELL ABOUT UR FIRST PERIOD/ STAGES THROUGH PUBERTY?

A year b4 i got my period, my friend got hers already and told me how theres gonna be all this blood and crap. A year later, i had to take a #2 and i saw sum blood come down in drops. thats when i knew it was my period! I was scared as hell. I wanted to tell my mom but my aunt was in the kitchen and I didnt wanna embar myself. Eventually, after pacing the kitchen 12 times, I eventually told her and she explained the whole thing to me in a quick 5 minutes (WEIRD!!) My first time wearing a pad felt like I was werain a diaper ewww!!! So tell me about ur experiences guys and girls?
