BLOOD coming out of your VAGINA. I’m older now, and I’m dealing with my period for what seems like forEVER. I thought I’d share a certain amount what I’ve experienced and learned with any early or late, or medium bloomers out there.

Have you read this book by Judy Blume?

Puberty scared me hell out. It’s all about this girl Margaret and how badly she wants to get her period. Nonetheless, I relied on Judy Blume, patron saint of all matters related to girlhood. Usually, margaret and her BFFs Gretchen, Nancy, and Janie looked forward to their periods so intensely that they PRAYED FOR THEM and lied about getting them before they had.

Monday would just know what had happened. Generally, because I didn’t have any hippies during my life, noone talked to me like that. Quite a few my peers were almost 12, and it’s very possible that I wasn’t a solitary girl in Mr, since I was the youngest kid in my grade. I don’t know.
