Hey, dads! Are you ready for your daughter’s first period"
Illustration: Celina Parente
“Dad! I’m dying!” There was an echo to my voice because I was looking down into the toilet bowl while yelling. I was 12 years old, and I had no idea what was happening to me?I had never made the toilet water turn red before.
Most girls get their period between ages 10 and 15 years, but every girl’s body has its own schedule. Generally, a girl begins menstruating about two years after her breasts start to develop and about six months to a year after she starts to get vaginal discharge. Well, I had no idea of any of the warning signs, nor had I even thought to pay attention to any changes happening to my body?until the day the toilet water turned red.
