after reading these other posts, I feel so fortunate
I was in grade 8. I think all the girls in my class started that same year. Our mothers were not really present. We talked amongst ourselves. Supported each other. And as we were all babysitting, we all had money to buy feminine products and we discussed which were better, how to put the tampon in etc.. The gym locker room was a hoot.... all of us girls trying to figure it out together... kind of like the blind leading the blind. It is actually a good memory.
