How old were you when..

You got your period?! Lol
I was talking with a lady at the WIC office, she's 4wks pregnant with her 5th child, ages 12-6yrs. & her hubby wanted her to get an abortion because they couldnt afford another and on top of that both thier 12yr & 6yr old got thier periods this year. Wow. Anyway,  lol , I started to think about when I got my first period (15 yrs old) & I pray my daughters don't get it that early.  What about you guys?

I was 14 and it was right before 8th grade. I remember my mom trying to introduce me to tampons and I thought I was going to die. My oldest is 11 so that time could be coming at any time. Hard to believe she already has little boobies. She already knows what to expect. I have 3 girls so I get to go through this 3 times! Yay me (c:

I had got my period when i was 11. I had spent the night at my friends housr and wheni came home i had to pee. So i go to the bathroom and find blood in my pants. I ran out the bathroom yelling for my mom and she was looking at me like i was crazy. I told her that i was bleeding and she didnt believe me. She was like,where cuz i dnt see any blood. I told her it was in my pants. She went to the bathroom with me and looked and said yep you are officially a little lady now lol. But the worst thing about it is she got on the phone and started calling all her friends and telling them the news. I was so embarrased when they would come visit because they would b. Like honey r u ok? Lol. But i havea. Daughter who is 12 and she also started at 11. Just hoping my other daughter doesnt start that early.
