I was very excited for my first period to come.
How were you able to handle it?
It went well, I was excited to wear pads.
It might seem silly looking back, but looking forward to your period so you can wear pads and feel grown is understandable. New things and adolescence can be exciting.
Others told me it would be scary, but they were wrong.
It is good that you are ready and prepared to undergo those changes in your body. It can be a scary time for some, but you are handling it very well.
