All About PERIODS!!!
The first signs before you get your period will be discharge for 6 months for a year, breast buds (little bumps below your nipples ;) ), cramps, and public and armpit hair (not necessarily in that order). The first time you actually GET your period, there will be streaks of red or brown in your undies. So if you are at school when this unfortunate event occurs, go down to the nurse and whisper "I think i may have started my period..." And she would be more than happy to give you a pad or two! But if you are uncomfortable with that, ask a friend who you know has their period and if they could spare a pad. Then go home and tell your mom or guardian. Light spotting and streaks will go on for about 5-7 days, then it'll stop and come back in a month! (28 days) There are Alot of ways to soak up the menstrual blood.
