periods

I was the youngest of 6 kids 5 of them being girls. One time i was using the restroom and i asked my Sister what happens if blood comes out of my bottem, and she said that they would put a shot up my butt just so that i would get scared. So when i finally did start my period i never told my mom for fear of gettin a shot.

When I was in the fourth grade my best friend spent the night. My older brother, being the comiedian he is, asked my friend if she had Maxi Accident Insurance. I knew he was kidding and started to laugh. During my time of laughter she had walked up to my mom and asked her what Maxi Accident Insurance was. My mom looked at her confused. I grabbed her and told my mom never mind. I had to explain to her that it was just a joke!

i used to believe that you would die if you got your period...because of all of the blood coming out.

I thought you only got 1 period in your whole life. Unfortuantely, I was wrong!

This isn't really funny, but it is dumb. When I was about 10, I didn't have my period yet. So I would wonder what tampons were for and what pads were for. I knew it had something to do with periods. I would see commercials for tampons that would say "So comfortable, you can't even feel 'em." So, then I decided pads were like tampons. So I took a pad from my sister and put it on. In my room, I would pretend I was in a commercial and was doing an add for pads, thinking they were exactly like tampons. I was mad because I COULD feel the pad. I was happy once I finally realized how wrong I was during puberty classes!

When we were about 12-13 years old one of the girls in my little group had a few days in a row of really greasy stinky hair...we staged an intervention and she confessed to us that her mum told her that she can't wash her hair when she has her period. She couldn't actually give us a reason why but I suppose some kids listen to what their parents tell them...*SHOCK*!!!!!

When I was 6 years old, I looked into the toilet and saw a little blood, which had lot been flushed down completely. I went to my mother and asked 'Mom, do you have your paradontosis?', somehow mixing up the word with "periods". Mom was perplexed.

When I was younger - before I started my period, we had sex ed and I had talked to my mum all about womnaly issues. So she told me that I was due to start my period soon, so me being rather melo-dramatic, announce to my older brother everytime I got stressed with him "Look, I'm allowed to be stressed! I'm going to start my period soon!!". He'd always give me a funny look and back off straight after....But the ironic thing was I didn't start my period until like another year later.

when i was young (in about 1st or 2nd grade) i used to think that girls bled out of their nipples because i heard one of my older friends talking about bleeding.

I used to believe that tampons went up your butt because you have a hold there!

When i was 12 years old i started my period, i ran out of the bathroom and screamed to my mom i was bleeding to death....needless to say she got a pretty good laugh out of it. :)

When I was younger I had a boyfriend who thought that women only had one hole...so he figured that whenever i got my period i had to take the tampon out everytime...later on as our relationship grew he realized how much of an idiot he was. I can still remember the face he had when i told him that we do have more then one hole...this was after highschool...so the sex ed was taught well before this incident

I used to think that pads were diapers for women who didn't have time to go to the bathroom.

Also, I thought you used a tampon for if you were swimming and you had to pee. Then I was confused because I thought the tampon would swell up and get stuck inside of you.

I use to think that you could bleed to death from a period.

I used to think that periods were constant, not just once a month, that women had periods every day of their life after about 13 years old.

well when I was in grade 1 my bgest friend had brought in a "thing" he had found in his mom's room, believe it or not it was a tampon. he must have seen his mom insert it before, cuz he said, "you put it in your butt"(hey he didnt know the truth yet) he tried and it didn't really work
