love like you
I think I got mine when I was 10 or 11, maybe 12. I just remember it was at my cool aunts house and I was very excited. Never had any accidents.
I did have a friend who had an accident in class. I gave her my hoodie to cover up for the day.

I actually wish I had a period, that means I would be a girl
???
Well, my friend has a temper when she knows her period is coming, she gets really pissed, she was afraid to tell the teacher because it was a guy teacher, it's more of girl stuff, so she held it in and did it right there
Having a period isn't like peeing, you can't "hold it in" and choose when to go. She probably just realised she'd started and had to put something on.

Sorry mate, I think she's actually being very polite considering how ... off... your comments here have been. Off as in, not biologically possible in a way that makes your description sound, uh, unlikely. I've heard all kinds of stuff in my years, but a period is not a baby. It's not something that involves using muscles to help push things along, so to speak (I made a joke!). I find it implausible anyone who has experienced a period enough to know when they *really* need supplies would somehow think there was anything to, um, "hold in".

i was just having a hard time believing anyone could think that's how a period works and i apologise if you're really just that uneducated i had no idea. anyway back to the discussion at hand, i think everyone should be included in sex education in terms of periods as i honestly had no idea people didn't understand how the female body works.

well if it's sexualized god forbid you wanna know what it's really for
but if he's young he probably hasn't had sex ed like that yet. when i was in school, they didn't get really into it until i was about 15? or so

Sure, I can give you the benefit of the doubt there. But perhaps you'd do well to consider that you're commenting on a thread about periods, full of people with quite a lot of experience in everything involved with the topic. As you haven't experienced these yourself, your understanding of them will naturally be different. Maybe either vet your comments first to make sure you've got the words right to explain what you mean, or just read and learn without trying to contribute where you're not best placed to. Just a suggestion, really, you'll do what you please and idc.
But comments that seem to be meant to cause conflict rather than contribute to the topic aren't fun to read, and waste everyone's time. If that's not what you're doing, great. That's not how it looks but that can happen. I would sincerely suggest you lay off presuming everyone here is trying to attack you though. That mentality just fuels things as you react instead of assess the comments you read. Good advice for life in general I've found!

yeah, at the time i didn't think much of it but looking back it is really odd. i'm slightly older than most people on tbt though, this was around 10 years ago, things have come on a lot since then i think

That's how they did things at my school too. They took all the girls in the grade and made them watch a video about periods and that's it. They didn't talk about anything else and they didn't say a word to the boys. They just stayed behind in class doing something

I completely agree. This stuff is taught to children in primary school here, with most of us already learning things at age and stage appropriate levels before we're at kinder. The only people I've met my age or younger (who aren't children in my care, typically aged 4 and under) who don't know how the female reproductive system works ... went to private or independent extremely conservative religious schools. Even the more conservative religious schools around here still cover the essentials. And normal biological functions are absolutely a basic thing every person should understand. For male, female, and others.
My own country needs to step up it's education in this area, as the conservative government continues to try and restrict sex ed and "safe schools" (a program that includes information for lgbtqi+ and specifically aims to support those children who may otherwise be ignored during standard hetero sex ed).

I started having my period when I was 13, give or take. I've always used pads and I usually take medication an hour ahead. If I don't, the cramps are so unbearable I can't get up and go to work. Luckily it always happens in the morning, so I'm ready to combat satan and the opening of his hell gates.
