Okay, that was your last chance. I'm starting now.
I found out about periods from my brother. When I was young (way before sex ed started) he told me: "when you're older, you're going to bleed every month." I was appalled of course, especially when I asked him if guys had to bleed too and he told me no. "That's not fair!" I said, and I only get more convinced of how true that is the older I get. That's why it really peeves me off when guys make PMS jokes. In my opinion, only women are qualified to make such jokes, because only women understand just how much of a trial monthly menstrual cycles are. When guys make PMS jokes, it's like they're rubbing it in.
So yes, what got me started on this topic today in particular? Well, today I went through FOUR TAMPONS AND THREE PADS. That's three tampons for heavy days, one for regular, and the pads were all heavy, overnight. (Oh, and I looked at the tampon pamphlet, and that's 45g of blood right there, not even counting the pads and the toilet!!!) I usually start off with a couple of heavy days, but it's never been this bad before. I really don't know how people could deal with this on a regular basis, and I'm sure some do. It's a pretty lucky thing that I happened to have more feminine products with me than usual, because, today just had to be, of course, my long day at school. So yeah, I had a night class from 6-9pm, but I was falling asleep (who wouldn't be tired, with that amount of blood lost?). It didn't help that I was stupid and had a McChicken for lunch instead of beef either. Anyway, I left class early, when we took a break, because I wouldn't have surrvived the class.
ARGH. It SUCKS to be a girl! If tomorrow isn't a light day, I'm going to feel like ripping someone's head off!
