  3. The fact there are probably men watching this for their s3xual kicks and out of a bizarre sense of jealously completely enrages me.
    Yes, I was instantly devalued once it was discovered by my family that I was going through this at age 11. I suddenly became a “dirty wh—“ and came home from sixth grade with my fathers and brothers snickering and degrading me. My mother thought that was hilarious.
    We are set up for a lifetime of humiliation and degradation, even if our guardians DO have the forethought to warn us. Just as in the misery of motherhood, we are inadequately forewarned and are fed fake fairy tales about love…. Much to our detriment. They only cared about my brothers anyway-/ they wanted some man to come along ASAP “and then she’ll be some other man’s problem”.
    Girls beware— love songs and love stories are LIES. You’re groomed to see winning a man’s love as the ultimate goal in life- but in reality they see you as replaceable work mules, ignorant empty dolls, punching bags and baby boy machines.

  4. Honestly, the other explanations are so much better than what it actually is lmao
    I got my first one at a sleepover, accepted my doom for a few seconds then remembered learning about periods the previous year (it was the Christmas holidays). Sucked it up and just folded some toilet paper.

  23. I had to read this American girl book called “the care and keeping of your body” to learn and it confused me because it explains how to use tampons and different period options, but not why we need them and why we bleed. I asked my mother what it all meant and she told me read it and just walked away. I’m not ashamed to admit a male teacher who was a father with a daughter in school explained the basics of it to me so I didn’t have to be ignorant anymore.

  26. Watching this while I'm on my period lmao, but I'm thankful to my mom, who explained everything to me before i encountered this experience when i was young. Or else I'm sure I'd have freaked out and kept everything to myself instead.

  29. When I had my first period, I knew what a period was but assumed it would be bright red, like other blood. My first period was dark brown, almost black, and I thought I'd pooped my pants without noticing somehow. I was embarrassed by that, since I was ten years old and quite definitively toilet trained, so I decided to hide the evidence of it by wearing my blood-soaked underwear for three days straight, until I eventually realised my pee was red, figured out what had happened, put my undies in the wash and talked to my mum.

  32. Thank god my mom actually told me about this stuff, although when it happened I wasn’t totally sure what to do because it started out really heavy! It was so much I thought something was wrong! But no, it’s just me.

  33. I was 11 when I started my period. It wasn't that bad, and I knew what it was, and had been prepared for it to happen. So I was suprisingly calm about it. I'm actually on my period now ironically enough. So this was kind of relatable. (In a way).

  34. On a serious note, religion has made it to where little girls automatically assume they're going to die and go to hell because of their periods, how fucking sad it that? Especially since it still happens, I used to know a girl like this. I don't know where she is now but at the time, me another small child, had to comfort her and make her feel safe and explain to her was a period actually was, it was heartbreaking and it should never happen but it still does to this day.

  40. Uterus wants baby
    Uterus prepares for baby by lining itself with nutrients and holding an unfertilised egg.
    Uterus waits but egg doesn’t get fertilised
    Uterus gets angry
    Uterus gets revenge by cramping and throwing out the absorbed egg and nutrients
    Uterus try’s again
