Share your first menstrual stories.

My first menstrual cycle was quite a shock. I was at school and suddenly felt a bit strange. I went to the bathroom and saw the blood. I was so scared at first because I didn't really know what was happening. I quickly told my best friend, and she was really helpful. She told me it was normal and that I should tell a female teacher. The teacher was very kind and gave me a pad. It was an embarrassing but also a learning experience.

I remember my first period vividly. It was a normal day at home. I had noticed some changes in my body in the weeks before, like my breasts starting to develop a bit more. When it finally came, I felt a sense of maturity in a way. I was a bit confused at first but I had learned about it in school. So, I went to my mom and she gave me some great advice on how to take care of myself. It was a milestone in my journey to womanhood.

Well, once I was at a friend's place and my menstrual cup leaked a bit. I panicked and ran to the bathroom. When I came out, my friend was like 'What happened?' I told her about the cup and we ended up having a good laugh as I explained how it's supposed to be more reliable. It was really embarrassing at first but then it became a funny story we still joke about.

My friend had a really horrible experience. She gets extremely bad menstrual cramps every month. One time, she was on a trip and the cramps hit her so hard. She had to lie down in the car for hours, feeling dizzy and nauseous. The pain was so intense that she thought she might pass out. And the whole trip was ruined because of that.

One common experience is confusion. Most girls don't fully understand what's happening when they get their first period. Another is a bit of fear, like not knowing if it's normal or if something is wrong. Also, there can be some embarrassment, especially if it happens in a public place or around people who might not be very understanding.

A lot of girls in their first menstrual cycle experience physical discomfort. There could be cramps, bloating, or a general feeling of being unwell. Emotionally, it can be a rollercoaster. Some might feel proud that they are entering a new stage of womanhood. However, they may also feel self - conscious, especially if they are in a public place when it starts. And many will have to quickly learn about menstrual products like pads or tampons.

Common experiences include feeling different emotions all at once. There could be excitement because it's a sign of growing up, but also nervousness. Some girls might notice changes in their appetite around the time of their first period. Mood swings are also a possibility. And then there's the whole aspect of dealing with the physical changes like how to keep clean and comfortable. Many girls have to quickly learn about proper hygiene during this time, which can be a bit overwhelming at first.

My first dab was a bit of a clumsy affair. I was at a friend's place and he had just gotten some new dab rig. I watched him do it first, it looked so easy. But when it was my turn, I took too big of a dab and ended up coughing a lot. It was a wild experience though.

Well, my first crush was this girl in my piano class. She played the piano so beautifully. I used to sit and watch her fingers glide over the keys. I was too shy to talk to her much at first. Then one time, we were paired for a duet practice. It was amazing. I fell for her even more during that time. Eventually, we became good friends but nothing more. It was still a great experience.

My first car was a Ford Focus. I bought it with my own savings. The day I got it, I was over the moon. It was shiny and new. I used it mainly to commute to work. One time, I got a flat tire on the highway. I was terrified at first, but then I managed to change it myself with the help of the car's manual. It was a great learning experience.
