Today, at a family reunion, my dad announced to everyone that I'd finally started my menstrual cycle. My grandmother started sobbing hysterically. FML

who would tell everyone you started your period? it's a private thing not something to have a party about

Your dad is not one to keep secrets, is he?

She's taking a trip down memory lane. Back in the primitive days where they used leaves as tampons.

Yes they are. 5 or 6 dollars for a box and all you do is bleed in em then throw it away.

I don't think tampons actually do anything, because I can pee when they're in.

You do realize that's two different holes right? It all doesn't come out of the same spot.

Show it anyway

Probably because most girls who are just getting their period for the first time, are still young and moneyless. if her mom wasn't around when it started she was probably forced to ask her dad to go to the store for her.

22 I hope you realize how retarded what you typed makes you look.

why would you choose to spell "would" as "wood"?

my mom forced me to tell my dad

it is usually impossible for your dad not to notice or find out at some point even if you don't tell him. if your mom is buying tampons for you. or you get cramps for about a week every month. or if someone just mentions it. it's not a big deal usually. it's not that strange for your dad to know

Guys, when I first got my period, I was at the park with my entire family. My stepmom was dealing with the rest of the kids, and my dad was sitting off to the side. If my stepmom was busy, and my dad wasn't, what was I supposed to do? I did what any other girl would have and told whoever could take care of me immediately. Hell, I was 11. I had no idea what was going on, all I knew was that I was in mass amounts of pain (and later discovered I was bleeding... oh no!). Bottom line, even though your dad's male, he still knows what women go through (aside from the idiot who said periods are "no big deal") and even though many men don't want to hear about it, they'll still take you to a store so you can get some pads or tampons if you need it.

haha, reminds me of that family guy episode were Peter announces meg's first period.

Ugh. Doesn't anyone know anything about the origins of the term "hysteric", relating to the greek word for womb?

It could be worse. I'm 23 and my dad still refuses to believe that I even have a period. That does suck that he announced it to your entire family. By the way, how'd the rest of the family react?

get pregnant, then he'll believe you. problem solved.
